Bearings may be boring, but they are used in every piece of industrial equipment and anything that moves. This company is a leader in precision bearings. They are beating on earnings and will continue to see strong demand.

* Shifting production towards higher price point, higher margin large industrial ball bearings. Generally, there are shortages of ball bearings in certain verticals/applications, which is driving pricing power.
* Deep backlog due to strong demand from aerospace industry over next 2-3 years, mainly Boeing (top client) and Airbus production of Dreamliner and A800.
* Valuation reasonable, especially against closest comp Kaydon.

The company I work for is making castings for these folks - out of a cobalt alloy! I like the QC they require for these. It shows that they are "fussy" about this product.

Ballbearing company. Nice boring necessity. As long as we have machinery we'll need bearings. Love the symbol too... how appropriate ;-)
