Manitowoc Company, Inc. (MTW)

hedge fund selling at this price, I'll take it

Company just announced credit facility secured with funds over $2.6 billion.

sold part of the business (looser segment of business) and will use proceed to retire dept.

earning/share 2009 = $ 0.62

Strong int'l sales and nicely capitalized.

As largest crane company in the world, MWC is poised to benefit immensely from U.S. and Global infrastructure projects which will be at the heart of eventual economic recovery.

S&P Fair Value @48.40

This crane company will benefit from the worldwide growth of infrastructure: bridges, factories, and office buildings.

oil equiptment shood be hot for a long while.

A solid company, quite beat up in this credit mess. It's a long term play (5+ years); as someone already said here, as long as credit is frozen, so is construction. It's a long way up to its 5 year high, but I think we've seen the bottom already here.

Desirable exposure to international markets where infrastructure growth is high and sustainable. Conversely, only 6% exposure to US residential market.

Infrastructure projects via the next federal stimulus package. Really, really cheap stock price for this great crane company, not to mention its other divisions.

This company will rebound soon,but strong .

Extremely Oversold. Crane demand is solid thoughout the developing/emerging markets. $40 in the short term - look for solid earnings

short term boost from possible rally is almost definite

Undervalued stock with a P/E of only 14. The company has great growth outlook of 21% over the next years and over 100% over the next 3-5 years. Strong demand for its crane products in India and China that is not going to let up any time soon.

Longterm survivor.

peg is .24

Bad purchase of Enodis but strong brands. Collected enough cash in from Scotsman to make debt payments for a year or so even with lower earnings, although they are likely to breach debt covenants. Food service will pick up first followed by cranes but they have very strong brands in both areas. Enodis was a good company too, but hopefully Manitowoc learned their lesson about buying high.

The duck had a broken leg at 3.69. Thought it could come back from the mountain of debt after parceling some feathers for a nice bed.

MTW's crane business will slowly recover and expand as the economy improves. The foodservice equipment sector won't be going anywhere anytime soon...I think this will appreciate over a few years.
