BUY ON WEAKNESS

They reported a blow-out quarter, sending shares 9% higher. They beat revenues in 4 of their 5 largest divisions, boasted expanded marginsThey are part of the transition to nuclear energy, even though it will likely get less support under Trump, at a pace that will match customer needs. Also, he likes their power systems business (generators, commercial power systems for buildings), timely during the data centre boom. Caveat: While only 9% of their sales come from China, those could be hit by Trump tariffs.
Industrials usually show strength from January to May, but CMI-N has shown weakness earlier than expected. This has him worried about this company and this sector as a whole. Technical support has been broken as well, so he would not buy this.
They're developing a hydrogen-based engine. It has good sales in China. He's feel good about this company is there was a roll-out of hydrogen fuel stations by an energy company. He prefers play e-cars this way.
He's a big believer in hydrogen fuel cells, a source of energy the world needs. CMI is one hydrogen company with real earnings that has invested heavily in hydrogen. They are a leading maker of truck engines. Also, they made a series of acquisitions in the past 5 years to build an impressive portfolio of hydrogen technologies, like the first hydrogen-powered train, airplane and fueling station and this year they build a device to cleanly extract hydrogen from water.
A great industrial company that yields almost 3%, but industrials are selling off now because of higher interest rates. Cummins will come back, but it will take time, because a slowdown is hurting the industrials more than any sector.
Industrials have outperformed the past few years. CMI's trucking has seen a modest improvement, but wants to see more. Earlier this year they went through a period of adjustment in freight.
