ITT Corp (ITT)

I do believe the rumor on this stock. Expect take over within 2 weeks

Track record similar to DHR, dividend a plus

5 Star, Small Cap- pays dividend

Likely to benefit from government spending.

A diversified company. They have their fingers in defense, electronics, communications, fluid technologies, etc.

They are a subcontractor to Lockheed on the F22 (maybe the F35 too) for which production just got cut, but there is very strong international interest in buying these planes. If those sales get approved, that could be a revenue boost for ITT (via Lockheed)

ITT just received a new contract to build instruments for NASA (and JAXA?). ITT space division is known for climate and weather observing satellites, and if the democrats have their way, there will be increased spending in this area to fight global warming.

This extremely stable company is selling for around 13X forward earnings and less than 3X book value. I expect slight outperformance with fairly low risk. Stock Scouter rating is 8, Caps rank is 4. Picked by TMFDatabaseBob yesterday.

Well diversified company with several strong divisions. Their defense division has a large backlog, and will stay profitable even with a downturn in defense spending. Their P/E ratio is under 10, and they are a long way off from their 52 week high.

Can't go wrong with bluechip, which is primarily invested in defense and infrastructure(water processing). War and homeland security need will continue for years to come. Global population needs potable water badly and this need will persist! $$$$$$$

ITT has two businesses that can thrive in the current environment, defense (accounts for about 50% or earnings), and water and waste water infrastructure. ITT would probably benefit from government spending in defense/war and infrastructure. ITT also operates in the aircraft avionics sector. (B)

Solid infrastructure and defense pick.

ITT should benefit if the stimulus plan results in increased infrastructure spending domestically. They should also benefit from ongoing demand for its defense business.

ITT's business is good, multiple govt contracts are in place, good product diversity and excellent management of spending as the general economy is a little shaky.

This is on a roll due to new big projects (NASA etc.)

Well diversified industrial humbled in price only by the recent sever downturn.

Est 12 mo range: $73.65-51.62

DIVERSIFIED!

Water is a high growth segment, and infrastructure needs are dire throughout the world. They are one of the few, global powerplayers in this industry.

Defense is solid, with their book-bill ratio constantly improving. The global arms race is being touted as a new trend, but, even if Iraq subsides and economic worries increase, defense spending will never materially diverge from its historical rates.

This is a company with solid, predictabe, and consistent revenue streams.

You can almost get this at its 52 week low...
