Chicago, IL – November 29, 2011 - Stocks in this week's article
include Crane Co. (NYSE: CR), Carlisle Companies Inc.
(NYSE: CSL), Danaher Corp. (NYSE: DHR), Textron Inc.
(NYSE: TXT) and Tyco International Ltd. (NYSE: TYC). Kevin
Matras screens for stocks in one of the top performing groups, the
conglomerates sector, in an effort to take advantage of growing US
exports.
Screen of the Week written by Kevin Matras of Zacks
Investment Research:
In spite of the problems in the US and in Europe, US exports are
running at record levels. And US companies with strong export
markets are benefitting tremendously.
While it's true that US exports to Europe are expected to slow
down next year, the Asian-Pacific region is expected to fully make
up for that and more.
Yes, China's growth has 'cooled' to a number closer to 8% rather
than the 9% of previous years. And it's also true that others are
seeing similar revisions. But growth rates like those are still the
envy of the world. And with those markets surging, some companies
with exposure in these areas are looking at boom times.
And one of the best sectors to capitalize on this is the
Conglomerates sector.
Since many conglomerates are large-cap stocks, we're going to
tailor our screen to be accommodating of this, yet strict enough so
as to only select the best ones from this group.
This screen is not particularly complex. For one, the
Conglomerates sector only has 44 companies in it to begin with.
Make it too strict, and nothing will come thru. But once you add in
certain parameters, it quickly narrows it down to only 10 of the
best candidates.
If you need a tie breaker on a stock, look at the PEG ratio, EPS
and sales surprises, and recent earnings estimates revisions for
the current quarter and full year.
