BUY

Today, they reported a solid quarter: a modest top and bottom line beat, and strong and surprising organic growth. Shares have already rallied 32% from last fall's bottom, it popped another 2.8% today to make a new 52-week high. Wall Street remains bearish on non-residential construction, which benefits Otis.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 14/21, Down 6%) Stock has held up well during recession and market sell off. Still owns stock and will continue to hold. Oligopoly in elevator business. Slowdown in China tough on business. Half of revenues come new equipment volume.
machinery
BUY
Weighed by supply chain woes and rising costs as well as the flagging Chinese real estate market, but this morning they delivered a resilient report with much-stronger earnings margins, though slightly disappointing sales. Overall, numbers were better than expected, so shares rose today in a tough session. The bulk of their business comes from maintenance and service.

PARTIAL BUY

She's likes the elevator industry; it's an oligopoly. The servicing side of the business has high, recurring margins. This would cushion the company if we enter weaker economic times. Last year saw growth for Otis in China. Also, elevators in Europe are aging, where Otis has a big slice of the market. Another tailwind is workers returning to offices and those buildings need elevators. Also, Otis is making their elevators go digital which helps servicing. Otis shares have pulled back with the market, but she would slowly add more shares.

COMMENT
They report Monday. We need to hear if there's a slowdown in business for them in China and how the US is holding up. The CEO's numbers have been super.
machinery
TOP PICK
Number one in elevators, a business she likes. Their services and equipment divisions are thriving. Services amounts to 55% of revenues but 80% of profits, high-margin with long-term contracts. Renewals are high. Will benefit from the recovery and building construction. A third of its installed base is 20 years old so those elevators will need servicing or upgrades. Trades at a discount to European peers. Pays an okay dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $92.31)
machinery
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Nov 12/20, Up 30%) The service component is much more profitable than the OEM portion, accounting for 80% of revenues, and so less cyclical. Problems with Chinese real estate has caused the pullback. The exposure in China is reasonable. Global company. Added client money on the pullback.
machinery
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 15/20, Up 29%) Best in class company in an oligopolistic space. They do elevators. Has hit a high of $91. About 20% exposure to China. This same story has happened to one of their competitor. Service side business does go up as well.
machinery
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 13/20, Up 66%) She likes the elevator space. The service side is very profitable. Their increasing their presence in China. After 25-30 years, elevators need to be refurbished, and we'll be seeing that in the UK especially. As offices and malls reopen, those elevators will need servicing.
machinery
BUY
Delivered a blow-out quarter today, with 18% growth across all geographies based on a global construction boom. Shares leapt 7% today.
machinery
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 13/20, Up 49%) Almost an oligopoly. Very attractive business model. Profitable, recurring revenues. A much more defensive cyclical. Europe and China are growth areas. Reopening will increase service calls. Moving to digitization. Wait for a pullback to commit new money.
machinery
HOLD
It is a great company. The long driver here is the service side. It is a good business model. It has not moved much for the last 3 or 4 months as people move into the re-opening plays. He would feel comfortable holding this for the long term.
machinery
BUY
Today they delivered an earnings beat based on higher than expected sales and they forecast a strong 2021. And yet the stock barely budged. Wall Street is worried about the future of non-residential construction, but Otis gets the bulk of its business from servicing existing elevators and they offer a new product plan.
machinery
TOP PICK
Long-term growth. #1 with a 17% global share. Service contract side is very attractive, with very high margins. Service accounts for 57% of revenue, but 80% of profit. High renewal rate, long contracts. Defensive cashflow, more recession-resistant. Great upgrade cycle coming up. Yield is 1.21%. (Analysts’ price target is $69.30)
machinery
BUY
Contrary to what the market think, Otis is not a stimulus play. Rather Otis is levered more to Chinese elevator maintainance rather than American elevator construction. If Biden wins, then China-US tensions will relax and help Otis attract Chinese business.
