I live in the Port Arthur, Beaumont, Texas area, and this region is without a doubt the refinery capital of the world.

The majority of the refineries and chemical plants are still just in the planning stages for their turnaround and expansion projects. Flowserve isn't just a player in the water industry, they make a lot of the automatic valves and, just about any other kind of valve you can think of, that are used in refinery and chemical processes to control flows to various vessels, heat exchangers, tanks etc. throughout the plant. Not to mention, there involvement in making positive displacement and centrifugal pumps. They also make specialty products and systems, such as hydraulic decoking systems, reactor recycle systems, and cryogenic liquid expanders. All of these products are critical in the coming expansions and upgrades being implemented in the next 4 to 5 years.

I see Flowserve being a major homerun for investors looking for something to yield good returns over the next 5 to 7 years. The amount of money involved in refinery expansions just in my area is around 100 billion dollars. Sounds like a business opportunity for Flowserve to me....especially since they're the company that most of the refineries in this area already use.

I see this company being a double if not a triple bagger in the next 5 to 7 years.

So Go Long,

Fool On!!!

Infrastructure for oil and water. Worth a try these days.

Great play for the next couple years. Infrastructure needs in many areas. Lots of money to be spent and they will be the beneficiary. Great downstream play. I am hoping that we have a dip so I can load up. This is second on my shopping list!!

The king of the water stocks. This stock is way undervalued compared it's peers! One of the few stocks that held it's ground during the correction earlier this month. Definitely a BUY!

Flowserve will benefit enormously from two separate factors, namely the critical need to upgrade and expand existing refineries and the long term global water capacity requirments. It has manufacturing capability and skills that are second to none within its broad niche. Financials are at present decent but nothing special. Definitely a play for the future.
