Great company, truly it is, but the share price has a pretty high valuation at this point. My bet is management may take this opportunity to get greedy, perhaps sell more shares, and grow by acquisition. Either way valuation after earnings is now mirroring 2007 levels and I can't imagine management is oblivious to this.

Upthumb. Filter company (boring industry, but high tech industry with expanding demand for high-end products). Very good cash flow. Good payout, low debt ratios. Nominal margins.

Donaldson is a filter manufacturer for engines, workplaces, water, exhaust and many other applications with substantial income from its filter replacement business.
Filter replacement sales should help it weather a slowdown, as will layoffs of 20% of its workforce. If it slips I am guessing it will slip more slowly than the S&P. They have cash of $113 mil and long term debt of $257 mil, of which only 50 mil is due in the next three years. They also have a favorable tax adjustment that should lower their corporate tax to under 20% this year from 25% which should help them look good.
Higher interest rates could hurt them four years out. Overall I like the filter business going forward, and this company has done well at it for two decades.
Slow and steady outperform.
