COMMENT

Merging with Aastra Technologies (AAH-T). This combination will be accretive. This is an astute management. Thinks it will work longer-term but because it is a small company in the space they work in, it is going to be rocky.

TOP PICK

New CEO effectively sold off some products and sort of right sized the company and improved the balance sheet. This is a play on the recovery of middle and upper income demographics.

TOP PICK

An industrial gas company. There are 4 global competitors and this one is more US centric. A serial dividend increaser that has done it for a substantial period of time. It will benefit from the price of shale gas in the US. Good, long-term story.
