This stock is included in the Morningstar "Dividend Portfolio," which I use as my core stock group. I highly suggest anyone interested in dividend income take a look at this grouping of quality income producing stocks.

GGG is trading at a 41% discount to its intrinsic value.

With the growth potential at 20% per year, this stock could look to push triple digits in the fairly near future.

manufacturing

consistent long-term earnings growth, financial strength and above-average return on capital

This looks like a solid LTBH company. Reasonably close to its 52-week low as well.

cheap

This is one of those boring little stocks that makes piles of money. They have everything to do with fluid. They move it, control its flow, measure it, dispense it and apply it in a wide array of industrial settings. In case you're not of aware of this, a lot of industries use a lot of fluids, both here and in India and in China and in Europe and everywhere else in the world...

Recent and consistent long term ROE are around 46%, ROI and consistent long term ROI around 30%. Plus GGG is toward the lower end of its 5 year average P/E range at 18. Dividend 5 year growth rate is 26%. One problem: if we head into recession this one will not fare well for a while. But on the other hand, it has good international customer exposure as well. Down the road, this puppy will grow into a very big dog.
