Company Highlights

The company has grown profits and dividends at a 12-14% pace over the last 10 years earning a 18-20% return on equity. As with most industrial equipment suppliers 2009 was a tough years.

However, the company has returned to its above average rate of earnings growth as a result of:

(1) across the board increase in demand for its equipment at the global economy
rebounds,

(2) an expanded distribution network improving its service capability,

(3) expansion into emerging markets,

(4) the introduction of new products through technological innovation,

(5) improved productivity coming from a comprehensive cost rationalization
program.

The major negative for DCI is rising commodity costs.

However, recently the stock fell below the lower boundary of that up trend, found support and re-set to a trading range (purple lines). Long term the stock is in an up trend (straight blue lines). The wiggly blue lines are Bollinger Bands. The Aggressive Growth Portfolio owns a full position in DCI.
