With construction in the crapper today, CR looks like a bad play, but 5 years from now, housing and infrastructure investments will improve their valuation considerably.

Great company for a infrastructure play. Good growth and earnings. Sales up, past 12 months 2.5 billion. Consensus EPS trend is up. Good company to go long on.

Priced now for multi-year recession which may occur; dividend yield pushing 5% - techically a couple of points oversold in the very near term; likely value for those with requisite patience.

strong company, oversold, even for deep recession.

I think the economy is going to bounce back and business and growth will start again slowly of course but it will be back in full swing within a yr.

CR is a wide-ranging conglomeerate; think of it as a small-fry DHR or UTX. The catch here is that it is growing at a faster rate than its larger competitors, has a modest valuation relative to its operating margin, ROE, and ROA, and is rock-solid in its dividend distributions.

Definitely an OUTPERFORM, look for CR to be in the 48-54 range within a year to 18 months, then we'll take another look at it and see where it goes from there.
