(A Top Pick June 16/17, Up 24%) Quite happy, still owns it and keeps buying for clients.The biggest industrial maker of pumps. They’ve increased their dividends for 42-43 years. Nobody cared about their products but now are drawing more attention. A play on water as well, which is a market they like.
The largest global manufacturer of industrial pumps. The stock hasn’t gone anywhere for a while, because 30% of their business is outside of the US, and the strong US$ has hurt profitability. A large part of their business is to the energy business such as moving oil, which has hurt them some. Have increased dividends for 44 years in a row. This is an opportunity to buy a company at its historically low valuation. Dividend yield of 1.7%. (Analysts’ price target is $26.)
