Christine PooleXylem Inc.XYLPAST TOP PICKJun 08, 2018

Owns share in company and will continue to hold. Rising interest rates and supply chain issues are behind the company (rates expected to fall). Would recommend holding. Strong business for long term investor. 

It beat top and bottom lines last week but shares still sold off. They beat revenues and exceeded organic growth estimates. A great quarter.

Core holding for her, she trims when it gets pricey. Recent acquisition will broaden client base. Never inexpensive. US infrastructure bill is a tailwind. She buys on pullbacks.

Americans take clean water for granted. Xylem makes water and wastewater pumps and treatment equipment.

Dominant in water sector. One of the few publicly listed pure plays, so valuation tends to be elevated. Treat, transport, and test water. Clients are utility companies and industrials. Water is a scarce resource. Likes the new acquisition, accretive to earnings in the long run, will expand presence in the space.

Fundamentals remain attractive. She likes the water industry and this is a rare pure-water company. Benefits from ESG fund flows, so the share price ran up to overvalue. It's now more attractive. The semi chip shortage is impacting their business, so they can't fulfill all their orders. Will take time to fill these orders this year. She's long owned this. Definitely hold this. She is slowing adding to her holdings.
