David DriscollW. W. Grainger IncGWWCOMMENTDec 28, 2017

A distributor of parts for the construction industry. The stock hit a high in 2016, and then began to fall because of declining sales. This happened for about 6 quarters because of Amazon (AMZN-Q). It has recovered because they finally got some quarterly sales growth, because of cost cutting. He sold his holdings at around $200. The business model is under pressure. PE is roughly 18X earnings, a little below the market, but the discount is because of the type of business they are in.
