Consensus
Cautious
Valuation
Fair Value
DON'T BUY

It is a big plastics maker but sales haven't grown much in the past few years.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
SELL

Challenge with industrials in the chemicals space is that they tend to be the canaries in the coal mine for weakening economic times. Fair bit of volatility this year. At this point, doesn't make sense to own.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
BUY
Boring, since it's a chemical company, but it trades at 5x this year's earnings and pays a 4.7% dividend yield. Offers fine cash flow and management. It's cheap and undervalued.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 30/18, Down 11%) One of the largest and best-known chemical companies in the world. They are under pressure. It has a decent yield. Probably something he would be interested to get back into.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
COMMENT
He owned this stock for a number of years. Petro-chemical company. Free cash flow is fabulous. The space seems to not be going. He can;t figure it out. They still produce the dividend.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 10/18, Down 23%) He lightened up on this one due to economic factors.
INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
TOP PICK

A petrochemical company. They're vertically integrated and in many markets. They're winning business with strong earnings. The street is neutral on this, but this could be a commodity-uptick play. Decent yield of 3.78%. (Analysts' price target $117.89)

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
BUY

A past top pick. His biggest industrial U.S. holding. They make plastics and have a crude refinery on the Gulf Coast. Recent dip hurt by Hurricane Harvey then bounced back. Strong earnings growth. Reasonable multiple of 11x 2018 projected earnings. LYN expects increase in profitabilty and demand.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
TOP PICK

A global chemical company which produces chemicals that makes plastics. This has a good valuation and he likes the global growth story. Strong balance sheet. They've done a great job of growing their profitability and their cash flow. Dividend yield of 3.1%. (Analysts' price target is $110.)

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick July 29/16. Up 19%.) This was great value. Basically industrial, focused on the chemical side. Producing plastics is its main business. Stable oil prices really helped out. Trading at about a 30% discount to its peers, which is warranted, because earnings are likely to be lacklustre in the next little while. You are still getting a 4%+ dividend. There is still room left on the stock.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
TOP PICK

Basically a manufacturer, designer and technology company around plastics and polymers. They also have a refining division. Valuation is really cheap. The company did quite well, particularly when there was a disparity between oil and gas. Trading at about 7X forward earnings. He anticipates earnings to be on a declining scale in 2016, but likely to stabilize in 2017. Dividend yield of 4.52%.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
COMMENT

A good, long term holding. Nice dividend yield. You are not going to see a huge amount of growth coming from them, but a nice, safe, stable, high quality company with consistent earnings growth.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
COMMENT

(Market Call Minute) It does well with improving chemicals prices and low natural gas prices. He is taking a look at it.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick June 16/14. Up 7.08%.) This is a pretty good free cash flow story, but within a very cyclical industry. It was doing really, really well until the oil price meltdown. Sold his holdings, but he would call it a Hold, and if oil got back into the $80s it would probably be a buy again.

INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS
PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick March 24/14. Up 5.6%.) One of the biggest petrochemical producers in the world and they have an advantaged position in North America playing the cheap natural gas prices to produce polyethylene. That advantage narrowed when oil prices dropped because other producers use oil. Still a great company and fairly valued here. Until oil migrates to higher levels, the level of profitability is a big constrained. If you are a long-term investor, you can continue to hold as it pays a nice dividend.
