When I last wrote about Parker-Hannifin (NYSE:PH)
I absolutely underestimated the market's willingness to look past a
rough calendar/fiscal 2016 and start hoping for a strong V-shaped
recovery in 2017. I thought Parker-Hannifin offered value back in
January, but I definitely didn't expect the 40%-plus move in the stock -
in-line with Eaton (NYSE:ETN) and Atlas Copco (OTCPK:ATLKY), but still on the high end of the range of the industrials I follow more closely.
A
healthy skepticism bordering on paranoia is a good asset for investors,
and that's particularly true when you think a stock is worth
meaningfully more than before a big run. I don't think a long-term
expectation of 4% revenue growth or 6% FCF growth is that bullish
(and my expectations for FY 2025 are about 4% lower than that last
article), but with a weak year rolling out of the model, it does support
a fair value of about $125 today.
That's not a big
premium to today's price, but there aren't many quality industrials
trading at a discount today, and as I said, seeing any discount after
the big run makes me wonder if I'm missing something.
