The
A.O. Smith Corporation (AOS) has had a tumultuous period marked with significant developments, fluctuating stock performances, and strategic shifts. Despite facing several challenging situations, the corporation released its
2024 Sustainability Report. The company also announced the
acquisition of Pureit and a
6% increase in quarterly dividends to $0.34 per share. The past five years have seen shareholders earning a
10% CAGR. However, AOS stock has been underperforming the Industrial sector and has hit a
52-week low multiple times amid market shifts. The Q3 2024 earnings report was marked by matching estimates but declining sales year-over-year, and the financial year 2024 guidance was adjusted downwards owing to China woes and weak water heater sales. Close analysis suggests there might be a potential
24% undervaluation of the AOS stock. Additionally, the company made significant
changes in the North America Water Heating Sales Team and saw a
leadership change with the appointment of Stephen Shafer as the President and Chief Operating Officer.
