W.W. Grainger (GWW) has been a hot topic in the investment world. The company has established itself as a force to be reckoned with, as reiterated in multiple reviews highlighting its stature as a top momentum stock for the long-haul. Recent institutional backing, making up 74% of the ownership, underscores the firm's strong standing. To further strengthen their portfolio,
Grainger announced an increase in its quarterly dividend by 10%. The company seems to be outperforming the industrial sector, with its added focus on HR transformation lead by tech veteran Melanie Tinto. However, signs of possible turmoil hover, with insiders disposing of their stocks and recent US$1.6b drop has left the institutional owners reassessing their options. Despite this setback, it might not be entirely dismal as positive forecasts from authorities such as
JPMorgan Chase & Co. are indicating a promising future. The company is gearing up to reveal Q1 earnings that are expected to rise Y/Y. However, reports indicate a possible earnings decline for Q1 while some metrics suggest that the stock may be underperforming the S&P 500.
