Orica Ltd (ORI) $17.90

The chemical and explosive business has been a quiet achiever over the last nine months, aided by a solid report in late May.

The stock's 2.5% unfranked yield isn’t overly exciting, but it is trading 5% below its historical 5-year average P/E, which we believe is cheap considering its recent results.
