TOP PICK

Manufactures actuators. An actuator is a sophisticated way of saying an on/off switch for industrial applications, such as nuclear, water, energy, etc. Has a very strong balance sheet. Historically this has been one of the fastest-growing companies in the UK. Dividend yield of 2%. (Analysts' price target is $255.)

HOLD

This company is well run – building flow valve actuators. He would only hold it here, due to its exposure to oil and gas and its exposure to commodity market cyclicality.

BUY

This company has exposure to the refinery segment specifically in design and outsources the manufacturing. The balance sheet is very strong with only 3% debt and dividends continue to increase. This is a very high quality company. It is still relatively cheap and he would be a buyer.

PAST TOP PICK

(Past Top Pick, Sept. 11, 2017, Up 37%) Strong balance sheet. He bought it when oil markets sagged and he's since done well with it. Currently, though, the stock is a little rich. Add when there's a slight pullback. Has more cash than debt.

BUY

This is a UK industrial. They make on/off switches controlled through electricity, gas or oil. The applications are nuclear and refineries. When the Saudis tried to manipulate the price of oil the stock price suffered. They picked it up there and had a very good run since. Very strong balance sheet only 5% debt. Dividend is growing. Had a big run, you can buy this on a discount. Very good company.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 20/17, Up 0.3%) Strong balance sheet and has almost no debt. It's leveraged to oil and nuclear power industries. So when industrial production slow, this stock sells off. But it's been a strong performer for a long time and raises its dividend regularly.
TOP PICK
Trades in London and on the Pink Sheets. The largest producer in the world of actuators -- an electronic signal for pumps used by refineries. They have lightened the top-heavy operations to improve gross margins. Yield 1.9% (Analysts’ price target is $311.12)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 22/19, Down 2%) The biggest company in actuators, which are fluid valves electronically activated. He had been attracted to them being an asset-light company. It was built on acquisitions but over the last two years have been trying to rationalize them.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 08/19, Down 1%) They're the biggest maker of actuators, devices which signal valves to open and close and allow pumping of fluids. These are used in oil/gas refining. He sold this earlier this year. Nothing wrong with the stock, but he owns a similar stock. A fine company.
