FMC Corp (NYSE:FMC)

FMC has business in many areas that are bot right now. They get a fair amount of business from Latin America, which nearly every Industrial or Ag company has cited as growth drivers in their earnings reports this quarter. Agriculture is hot right now especially in developing economies. FMC also continues to say their lithium business is strong.

Shows good product developement

great comp. plus dividend

Best of breed in chemicals, for my money, and still cheap.

Money's going be moving into cyclicals for a few months going forward, and this is a solid one to own.

$5.5 billion market cap.

estimated p/e = 14 (ttm = 22) very nice implied growth. likely unsustainable - but not needed at current valuation.

Roughly trading 2 x sales. (a little under that)
Qtrly Revenue Growth (yoy): 22.60%

Profit Margin (ttm): 8.97%
Operating Margin (ttm): 16.69%
Return on Assets (ttm): 10.44%
Return on Equity (ttm): 24.87%

Cash flows average and debt is moderate. Not the best. Not red flags at all.

picked again at 71.75

Not just an Ag company. Unlike Monsanto, FMC doesn't have a big investment in bio-tech ( with it's own +'ve and -'ve's ) but is well diversified into other areas.

A diversified chemical company serving agricultural, industrial and consumer markets globally with innovative solutions, applications and quality products.

If it breaks 80 i'll probably reverse this eventually but it is in extreme territory as is. Its got to take a major hit from high energy prices here soon.

$82.50+

This diversified company is loaded! Ag, soda ash, and lithium products provide coverage (and protection) over a wide range and let you fly under the radar. The best company you've never heard of, as emerging markets continue to devour ag and hand held storage devices, FMC will soar. You don't need Potash or DuPont.

The ag bubble will eventually burst.

This is the rocket 2008 ! ;)

Commodities play. Steady earnings with good management.

With emerging technologies not replacing our dependence on oil at even the rate of growth. With the price of oil and gas skyrocketing and the expansion of the drilling and tranportation(mainly through gas lines), will keep FMC busy of the next few years.

FMC has changed their marketing & manufacturing process to compete better - go underdog
