Stock price when the opinion was issued
Electrical motors, compressors and the H Back business (Heating and Cooling). It does very well. Government subsidy is finished and the stock has flattened out a little bit but the story hasn’t gone away because of the housing growth. The real housing boom was in the late 1990s and you have to look at the replacement cycle. 1% dividend.
Motors, generators, transmissions, drives etc. They recently bought a powered transmission unit from Emerson Electric. This will add $.50 a share in earnings in 2015, and he expects a dollar a share in earnings in 2016. The market really hasn’t caught up with this one and it is a very good buy here. Dividend yield of 1.13%.
(A Top Pick Feb 25/15. Down 30.66%.) This is basically just a valuation reset. They continue to do reasonably well in terms of earnings growth, but the market now has it trading at 10X earnings where it had been trading at 15X. This is still a Buy.
