Valmont Industries caught my attention as part of a clean water ETF. Of the ten top holdings Valmont had a very reasonable P/E and was still only 60% of it's 52 week high. Diving in: operating margin is holding at 12% and ROE greater than 20%. Debt appears to be manageable with the postitive cash flow. Valmont is diversified in several key areas that are supported by the stimulus plans with it's pole and tower structures that are used in construction, urban development, traffic fixtures, etc, with both State and Federal contracts. Water is an issue in many areas of the country and irrigation systems will continue to be a strong necessity. Greater than 20% growth in the balance sheet from year to year, the last three years. Valmont looks like its worth some further investigation as a solid LONG.
