TOP PICK
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly

We reiterate SBS, Brazil's sanitation utility, as a TOP PICK.  The company plans to double its infrastructure base by 2029 and analysts foresee 45% growth in EPS next year.  It trades at 16x earnings, 2x book and supports a robust 29% ROE.  We continue to recommend a stop at $17.50, looking to achieve $24.00 -- upside potential of 17%.  Yield 2.1%

We reiterate this Brazil based water treatment utility as a TOP PICK.  It has avoided much of the tariff related mayhem thus far and provides some geographic diversification.  It trades at 15x earnings, 1.7x book and supports a 28% ROE.  We recommend scaling up the stop (from $14) to $16, looking to achieve $23 -- upside potential over 30%.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 12/12. Down 19.53%.) Water utility company in São Paulo.
