The company has grown dividends and profits at a 15-25% pace over the past five years earning a 15-15% return on equity. SHNY’s business suffered dramatically in the recent recession; however, it has made a strong comeback which should continue as a result of:
(1) growth in global industrial capital expenditures,
(2) price increases,
(3) exposure to Germany, Korea, China and India.
