Pure play on aerospace powerhouse. Chart shows volatility, but sideways trading shows potential to move to the upside.
Sells an engine once, but generates decades of high-margin service revenue. Service backlog continues to build, giving it highly visible recurring revenue and cashflow. Concerns about economic slowdowns, but airlines are extending life of existing fleets (that means more maintenance, not less). Ranks 7/10 for her. Yield is 0.66%.
Now a pure-play aircraft engine market leader. Sees it still dominating the jet engine market. Value score of 3/10. Analysts still see ~15% upside. Technically, looks to be trying to break out above $170; if it goes higher, could see a bit of a breakout.
Looks to be hitting a ceiling. Great run, aerospace is an exceptional business. Hold in short term and take some profits soon.
Tremendous run over the last couple of years, so you need to be careful. You don't necessarily need to sell, but you need to be prudent by rebalancing and getting back to a level of risk you're comfortable with. Stick with the winners, and this one is. Still positive on it, but make sure you're not over-exposed.
After the global financial crisis, they went through a process of selling off their assets. When you start divesting assets, it generates a lot of cash flow, and that attracts a lot of interest. Investors flocked to the company and did very well. For the last little while, they had some problems with 2 of the industrial businesses. One was the power business and energy is not doing very well. However, the aviation business is fairly solid and the healthcare business has also done well. If we believe that we are going to get a recovery in the energy sector, and the increasing demand for electricity and power is going to continue, those businesses will right themselves. Dividend yield of 3.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $30.)
