hello andi... i don't think this article is avail for no subscriber.. posting that for your review... ABB, the electrical-engineering giant, is enjoying a power surge. The company, which specializes in power and automation technologies, occupies the sweet spot in energy efficiency, and is ringing up increased orders and revenue as corporations and governments around the world seek to modernize buildings, manufacturing practices and the power grid. The International Energy Agency expects global investment in energy infrastructure is going to average $1.5 trillion a year for decades, for a total of $38 trillion by 2035, and few companies are better positioned than ABB to capture a growing piece of the pie. That's no small achievement for a company that flirted with bankruptcy less than ten years ago. Investors don't seem to realize yet that good things are brewing in Zurich, where ABB (ticker: ABB) makes its corporate home. The company's American depositary receipts, each representing one ordinary share, are down 19%, to $18.26, since the start of the year, and off 34% from a late-April high of $27.58. (ABB also trades in Switzerland and Sweden.) Some analysts think the ADRs could return to the mid-20s in the next year as revenue climbs and profit margins widen. ABB earned $3.8 billion, or $1.12 a share, in 2010, on revenue of $31.6 billion, and is expected to generate per-share profits of $1.47 this year and $1.61 in 2012. Fans especially appreciate the company's ability to churn out unencumbered cash, which totaled $4.2 billion last year. ABB returns some of its cash to shareholders via a 67-cent annual dividend per ADR, which equates, at the current stock price, to a sweet yield of 3.7%. The company is expected to shell out $1.48 billion in dividend payments this year, up from $1.26 billion in 2010. ABB TRADES FOR JUST 11.5 TIMES next year's estimated earnings, a valuation that reflects concerns about global economic growth. John Roberts, a partner and portfolio manager at Denver Investments, thinks the stock's price/earnings multiple could return to a mid-cycle high of 15 to 18 times earnings, which implies a target price of $26.50, based on the midpoint of that multiple range. "We think this is a pretty good opportunity," says Roberts, whose firm has been buying up shares in recent months. He isn't alone; ABB's largest shareholder, Sweden's Investor (INVE-B.Sweden), purchased 1.5 million shares in the third quarter, lifting its stake to 7.3%. This marked the company's first ABB purchase in eight years. ABB's management believes that focusing on mega-trends such as climate change and urbanization, which fuel demand for its technologies, will shield the company from short-term volatility. Last month it laid out a five-year plan projecting compound annual growth in organic revenue of 7% to 10%, with mergers and acquisitions potentially adding another three to four percentage points of growth. The company also modeled five-year Ebitda (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) margins of 13% to 19%, up from a prior range of 11% to 16%. In an email response to Barron's questions, Chief Executive Joseph Hogan called ABB's growth targets "ambitious, but also achievable." Hogan, a 54-year-old American, emphasized that the company had managed successfully through the financial crisis of 2007-08 and beyond, noting that "[we] have stayed within our profit targets and very nearly achieved our sales targets." ABB has been helped this year by a pick-up in its power-products division after two years lackluster performance. The division, which accounts for a leading 30% of revenue, makes products such as transformers and circuit breakers, and faces stiff competition from Chinese and South Korean rivals. ABB's profitability owes in part to cost cuts, which have helped offset price pressures and are now, in the words of Chief Financial Officer Michel Demaré, "part of our DNA." The company is working to strip out about $1 billion in costs both this year and next, following $3 billion of cost reductions in the past two years. ABB OPERATES IN ABOUT 100 COUNTRIES,and is benefiting from surging energy use, particularly in emerging markets. The International Energy Agency forecasts total global energy demand increasing by a third from 2010 to 2035, with 90% of the growth coming from developing countries. China, already the world's largest energy consumer, will account for 30% of that. ABB generated half its revenue in 2010 from emerging markets, up from 42% in 2006. The company has manufacturing plants in many developing countries, and prides itself on tailoring production to the demands of local markets. For instance, 85% of products sold in China last year were also manufactured there. ABB'S DIMINISHING DEPENDENCE on mature markets likely is a good thing at a time when euro-zone countries are struggling to get a grip on their crippling debt. But the company isn't about to turn its back on these markets, as they are expected to account for about $4 trillion of the $9 trillion likely to be spent on infrastructure supply between 2010 and 2015. The U.S. and Europe urgently need to modernize aging infrastructure to accommodate more renewable-energy sources and meet anticipated demand for electric vehicles. "When you are in that business, you call ABB, Siemens [SI] or General Electric [GE]," says Gary Anderson, a portfolio manager at Scout International Fund in Kansas City, Mo., which has owned ABB shares since 2005. "Those guys are at the top of the list." ABB also is looking to expand its servicing business, where it frequently missed opportunities in the past by calling on local contractors to repair and maintain company equipment. "Given our substantial service competence and domain expertise, missing such an opportunity doesn't make sense, and we will address this now systematically," Hogan says. The Bottom Line ABB could rally to the mid-20s from $18.50, as revenue rises and profit margins widen. With the dividend, investors could capture a total return of more than 40%. . Revenue from services grew at a compound annual growth rate of about 9% during much of the past 10 years, but ABB is targeting annual growth of between 15% and 20% through 2015. The company expects services to account for 20% to 25% of sales by the middle of the decade, compared with 15% to 16% now. INNOVATION AND ACQUISITIONS also will be crucial in meeting long-term goals. ABB continues to pump resources into research and development, and has spent billions of dollars on acquisitions in recent years. R&D spending is expected to total $1.3 billion in 2011, or 3.5% of estimated sales, rising to 4% by 2015. The company has an impressive track record of developing technology and products, and is searching for so-called disruptive innovations that redefine markets. ABB has high hopes for direct current, or DC, applications, and is putting the technology, which is more energy-efficient than alternating current, or AC, into data centers and fast chargers for electric vehicles. Under Hogan, ABB has shelled out $5 billion in the past 18 months on acquisitions. Its U.S. presence was strengthened with the January purchase of Baldor Electric, a maker of high-efficiency industrial electric motors, for $3.1 billion plus debt; it was ABB's biggest acquisition to date. With regulators demanding greater energy efficiency, Baldor so far has proved an excellent buy: The company's revenue rose 20% in the first nine months of this year, and Ebitda margins exceeded 20%. SOME OF HOGAN'S PURCHASES have raised eyebrows, including those of software makers Ventyx and Mincom, which turned ABB into a leader in enterprise asset management, or the monitoring of mission-critical assets. Others seemed natural fits, including the near-$1 billion spent to raise ABB's stake in its Indian subsidiary. Those deals have added seven percentage points to sales and nine points to profitability, Hogan says. Hogan has shown that he won't pay too much, earning plaudits from investors for discipline. "What can destroy a company? Making stupid acquisitions," says Roberts of Denver Investments. ABB's management is rational and shareholder-friendly, he adds. "It doesn't let ego get in the way." Management also has tidied up ABB's balance sheet, which boasted $5 billion of cash as of the end of September, against $4.6 billion of debt. Fitch Ratings raised its credit outlook on the company last month to Positive from Stable, putting further distance between ABB's promising present and its darker past. Capital-goods companies still require caution, but ABB is among the best in class. | ||

conquas, never say never. you can keep investment position and trade as well. your point is well taken. trading is hard. investing is easier. anyway, checked ABB figs. 43B vs 120B market cap. Point taken. Yield GE better. YTD ABB down 16%. GE 7%, but GE had a recent spurt. ABB being smaller equity seems to be a better run co based on ROE&ROI, but that could be a little misleading when the equity base is 4X. anyway need to see the Barrons article, bit wary of Eu at this point. all opinions expressed are mine and only mine. not to be attributed to the other IP address sharers, my employer, or any other human, animal, robot or alien. | ||

Conq, everything ABB does, GE also does. GE just upped the dividend. It is a great value at 16. The uncertainty of EU will continue for ABB, while GE has gone thorough the worst and future looks good, in my opinion. all opinions expressed are mine and only mine. not to be attributed to the other IP address sharers, my employer, or any other human, animal, robot or alien. | ||
