CAPS Rating:
****

The Company is a supplier of hydrogen and helium and has built positions in growth markets such as semiconductor materials, refinery hydrogen, natural gas liquefaction, home healthcare and advanced coatings and adhesives.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Air Products is getting involved with hydrogen filling stations for hydrogen cars. If their plan succeeds they will be a major player in this market. Growth potential would be astounding.

Simple pricing-power bet based on moderating demand and the oft-promised soft landing.

Irrespective of how the dollar moves APD is poised to move forward especially if CO2 regulation comes into play. Strong presence in its industry. Decent reliable dividend
