A. O. Smith Corporation (AOS) certainly presents an interesting performance in recent times, with its shares decreasing as well as hitting a new 52-week low amid shifting market conditions. However, the company's robust
fundamentals seem to contrast these market sentiments. Various reports indicate that the company has declared and increased its
quarterly dividend to $0.34 per share. The strong
ROI growth, persistent
dividend increases and solid projections from analysts, make AOS an attractive hold for investors focused on
dividend growth. It's also noteworthy that Oppenheimer, a major investment firm upgraded AOS due to compelling valuation as well as expected growth drivers. In terms of acquisitions, AOS recently acquired
Pureit, a leading water purification business in South Asia. This move should certainly strengthen AOS's position in the water technology space. They also released its Q3 2024
earnings call which navigated challenges and seized opportunities simultaneously. However, recent cut in guidance due to woes in China and weak water heater sales in Q3 are slight concerns. Despite persisting headwinds, AOS exhibits strong prospects.
