Amidst the still-shaky non-residential construction recovery,
investors have cast strong votes in favor of incoming prosperity for Manitowoc (MTW).
This crane and foodservice company is certainly among those to benefit
if construction equipment orders improve, and such improvement is likely
more "when" than "if", but the volatility of that "when" could still
make for some interesting times in the stock.
Speaking of the
stock, I think an investor's time horizon and dedication to intrinsic
value are both pretty relevant here. Unless you think Manitowoc can
transform itself into one of the best-run, most-profitable heavy
equipment companies over the next decade, discounted cash flow just
doesn't suggest much value here. On the other hand, if you believe that a
recovery in construction demand will fuel double-digit EBITDA growth
over the next three to five years and that that growth merits a
double-digit multiple to 2014's EBITDA, there's still upside left in
these shares.
