[spaceistheplace]

Hallo, ich habe mir heute ne Position ITW gekauft, eine der am konstantesten performenden Aktien aus den USA. Ein Profil des Unternehmens unten. Dividende wird seit Jahrzehnten konstant jährlich erhöht, aktuelle Rendite 2,5%. Gewinnwachstum bei rd. 13% in den nächsten 5 Jahren. Ein absolutes Ruhekissen mit dem man auch düstere zeiten poroblemlos durchschiffen kann.

Wäre schön, wenn man hhier ein bißchen zusammen kommen und ein Austausch stattfinden könnte.

Illinois Tool Works: May Be Dull, But A Great Investment
By Eddy Elfenbein, Seeking Alpha
Last Update: 7:25 PM ET Oct 17, 2007

Eddy Elfenbein submits:
If you’re new to investing, don’t be afraid of companies that sound boring. It’s easy to get caught up in looking for the next Google (GOOG) or Apple (AAPL), but sometimes boring companies are great investments.
A perfect example is Illinois Tool Works (ITW). Man, I love that name! In my book, the name alone is worth 15 on the p/e. I guarantee you, you’ll never hear someone say, “Keep your eyes on them, they could be the next Illinois Tool Works.”
Here’s some 411. ITW is a diversified manufacturer based in...well, Illinois. The company has delivered double-digit earnings growth for 10 straight years. Not many companies can say that. Plus, it looks to do it again this year. Yesterday, ITW reported Q3 EPS growth of 13% and it sees Q4 EPS coming in at 86 to 90 cents, which translates to growth of 11% to 16%. (Wow, even their financials are dull.)

Ist das ein fehlerhafter Chart hier bei WO, oder warum der "Absacker"?

[spaceistheplace]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 32.528.181 von Datteljongleur am 22.11.07 18:53:44

ja logisch! Der Crash ist natürlich ein Split. Zudem sollte man sich die Charts in Dollar anschauen und nicht in Euro.
Zu US-Unternehmen solltest Du auf US-Seiten recherchieren und nicht hier bei Onvista, WO oder wie die alle heißen, rummmachen. Vor allem sind viele zahlen fehlerhaft, habe das schon oft bemerkt. Alles Schrott! Die einzigen sind noch Cortal Consors, die was taugen.

CBs.Marketwatch, Yahoo-finance oder MSN sind sehr gut, für Charts unübertroffen bigcharts, da bekommt man gar von deutschen Unternehmen längere Charts als auf diversen dt. Finanzseiten. Ein Zeichen der total unterentwickelten Finanzkultur in Deutschland gegenüber der USA.

Hier der richtige Chart der letzten 3 Jahre, in Dollar:

Larry, welche wären das denn? Outest Du Dich?

Jedenfalls sind wir schon eine eingeschworene gemeinschaft, was unsere Aktienfavoriten angeht. Mich wundert immer wider, dass es hier kaum Resonanz gibt in den Threads. Auch beim Gewinnerthread ist die Beteiligung eigentlich schon rel mies. Es lesen viele mit, aber kaum einer traut sich mal zu schreiben, warum auch immer..
Oder sind wir schon im Anlegerolymp, dass jeder Schiss hat, er wird zerrissen mit seiner Meinung. manchmal habe ich schon gedacht, dass wir schon ziemlich hart drauf sind ab und zu, aber überzogen sind wir keinesfalls.

Okay, ich werde hier news einstellen, soweit es welche gibt. Ist bei ITW aber rel mager...in der Ruhe kiegt die Kraft...

[Larry.Livingston]

Klaro, zwei KLV (kaufen, liegenlassen und vererben - meine Alternative zu eurem ASS ) Kandidaten fehlen mir noch: McDonalds und L'Oreal. Bei BP bin ich mir noch unsicher ob ich nicht evtl. doch Total nehmen sollte. Mal schauen.

[Larry.Livingston]

Es lesen viele mit, aber kaum einer traut sich mal zu schreiben, warum auch immer..
Ist vl. gar nicht sooo schlimm - so bleibt es übersichtlich!

Oder sind wir schon im Anlegerolymp, dass jeder Schiss hat, er wird zerrissen mit seiner Meinung. manchmal habe ich schon gedacht, dass wir schon ziemlich hart drauf sind ab und zu, aber überzogen sind wir keinesfalls.

Ne denke eher nicht. Bei Vollpfeifen ist es berechtigt, aber es waren ja auch einige kritische Schreiber dabei, bei denen man merkt das sie sich selbst auch Gedanken machen und auch Argumente bringen können. Denke da zB an Notebook.

Euch viel Glück mit ITW!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 32.751.913 von Larry.Livingston am 13.12.07 11:06:57

Ja, Larry, gebe Dir echt

Denke da zB an Notebook.

Tja, wo der wohl abgeblieben ist? Ist der nach Indien gefahren, um sich seine banken anzuschauen? Tja, schon lange nichts mehr gehört von ihm.

BP oder Total: Keine Ahnung welche , tendentiell eher BP, da viel schlechtes im Kurs drin ist und vielleicht stärkeres Erholungspotential drin steckt. Zudem auch im erneuerbaren Sektor wohl weiter als Total.

Ich kaufe mir prinzipiell keine Ölaktie, das das eben Dreckschweine sind, mit die größten Umweltverschmutzer. das halte ich jetzt schon fast 20 jahre so, wohlweislich, dass mir gute performance z.B. mit ner Exxon entgagngen ist. Abe ein paar Prinzipien muss man halt haben.

Bei MCD ist schon viel im Kurs drin aktuell, denke ich. da würde ich mal ne Beruhigung abwarten, aber wer weiss, der Kurs geht ja die jahre wie am Schnürchen nach oben...

Wachstum die nächsten 3 Jahre rd. 15%, KGV 2008 bei 19,5, also nicht mehr ganz billig, oder? Sollten die noch mal auf 50 Dollar zurückgehen, dann rein wie nix, aktuell kauft man rel. teuer ein.

Gruss space

[Larry.Livingston]

Ja McD und auch L'Oreal sind mir aktuell zu teuer, ich werde da auf Rücksetzer warten. Deinen Standpunkt kenne ich und kann ich verstehen. BP gefällt mir ja auch aufgrund des Anteils der regenerativen Energien gut (wobei der aber noch klein ist). Ich möchte einen ausgewogenen Branchen und Ländermix, da würde ich mich komisch fühlen gar nichts aus dem Bereich Öl/Energie zu haben...

[spaceistheplace]

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 32.753.699 von Larry.Livingston am 13.12.07 13:28:24

Ja, klar, Branchenmix...ich habe ja auch keinen Energiewert, außer man rechnet ne GE dazu. bei der Veolia bin ich mir nicht so sicher. e.on ist ne bank, doch auch zu teuer aktuell und zu gut gelaufen für mich. clearasil hat ja ne Reliance aus Indien ins Spiel gebracht...

Nun ja, wie auch immer, da bleibe ich erst mal außen vor. Bis Ende 2008 ist ja auch noch ein wenig zeit...

ITW Reports 16.6 Percent Growth in Operating Revenues for Three Months Ended November 30, 2007

GLENVIEW, Ill., Dec 17, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Illinois Tool Works Inc. today reported an operating revenue increase of 16.6 percent for the three months ended November 30, 2007. Operating revenues for the three month period consisted of a 9.8 percent increase from acquisitions net of divestitures, 2.5 percent growth from base revenues and a 4.3 percent contribution from translation and other items. The Company's strong acquisition pace over the past 12 months resulted in the continuing growth in acquisition revenues. Base revenues benefited from ongoing strength in a broad array of international end markets. International base revenues increased 5.0 percent while North American base revenues grew less than one percent in the three month period.
On a manufacturing segment basis, the Company's three month moving average percentage change for operating revenues, comprised of base revenues and acquisitions net of divestitures, is provided below.

(% change for 3 months ended November 30, 2007 versus prior year period)

*Engineered Products/North America: + 2.2%
*Engineered Products/International: + 26.4%
*Specialty Systems/North America: + 7.7%
*Specialty Systems/International: + 16.2%




During the past three months, the Company has seen continuing weakness in North American end markets and as a result lower than expected base revenues and operating margins. In addition, as expected, acquisitions have continued to be dilutive to margins. As a result, the Company is lowering its forecasted earnings range to $0.82 to $0.86 in the 2007 fourth quarter and $3.32 to $3.36 for the full-year. The Company now expects base revenues to be in a range of 2.0 percent to 2.8 percent for the fourth quarter. The midpoints of these 2007 forecasted ranges would represent earnings growth of 9 percent for the fourth quarter and 11 percent for the full-year.
The statements regarding the Company's 2007 fourth quarter and full-year forecasts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations are set forth in ITW's Form 10-Q for the 2007 third quarter.
ITW is a $14.1 billion in revenues diversified manufacturer of highly engineered components and industrial systems and consumables. The company consists of approximately 750 business units in 49 countries and employs some 55,000 people.

Illinois Tool senkt Ergebnisprognose für viertes Quartal, Aktie -5 Prozent


Glenview (aktiencheck.de AG) - Der amerikanische Maschinenbaukonzern Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ISIN US4523081093/ WKN 861219) teilte am Montag mit, dass er seine Ergebnisprognose für das vierte Quartal gesenkt hat, was auf eine Schwäche in den nordamerikanischen Endmärkten zurückgeführt wird.
Demnach rechnet der Konzern nun mit einem Gewinn von 82 bis 86 Cents (zuvor: 86 bis 90 Cents) pro Aktie für das laufende Quartal. Im Gesamtjahr wird damit ein Ergebnis von 3,32 bis 3,36 Dollar (zuvor: 3,36 bis 3,40 Dollar) erwartet. Analysten stellen hier ein EPS-Ergebnis von 88 Cents bzw. 3,38 Dollar in Aussicht.

Die Aktie von Illinois Tool Works verliert an der NYSE vorbörslich 5,19 Prozent auf 53,00 Dollar. (17.12.2007/ac/n/a)

In another sign that American businesses are throttling their capital expenditures, Illinois Tool Works lowered its earnings guidance Monday.
Shares of Illinois Tool Works (nyse: ITW - news - people ) fell $2.64, or 4.7%, to $53.25, after the company said it now expects to earn 82 cents per share to 86 cents per share during the fourth quarter of 2007. The company previously said it expected to earn 86 cents per share to 90 cents per share. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial had expected earnings per share of 88 cents.

Illinois Tool Works said it expects to earn $3.32 to $3.36 for the full year. Analysts had expected earnings per share of $3.38.

The company blamed continuing weakness in the North American markets for pressuring its sales and operating margins. Illinois Tool Works, headquartered in Glenview, Ill., operates about 750 small industrial businesses that make a wide array of engineered products used in the automotive, construction, retail and electronics industries.

The company has grown into a diversified manufacturer, due to a steady pace of acquisitions over the years. International Tool Works frequently buys up smaller manufacturers and lets them operate independently. (See: "Illini Buyout Bait")

The strategy has given the company broad exposure to the U.S. economy. As it slows, Illinois Tool Works is feeling some backlash. According to Revere Data, 49.9% of the company's sales came from the U.S. in 2006.

U.S. companies are pulling back on spending as the economy revs down. Some even worry that the U.S. is heading toward a recession. Morgan Stanley (nyse: MS - news - people )'s Chief U.S. Economist Dick Berner and Chief U.S. Fixed Income Economist David Greenlaw said earlier this month that a mild one is likely. (See: "Fed Fails To Satisfy Wall Street")

Illinois Tool Works is also exposed to the troubled residential construction industry. Homebuilders have pulled back sharply on building this year because of abundant supply and mortgage problems restricting demand.

nun ja da war mein einstieg wohl etwas ungünstig aber war so nicht vorhersehbar. Paar cent weniger gewinn pro aktie schert mich relativ wenig

im vergleich zu dem was ich verkauft habe (ISRG ) hat sich itw aber dennoch gut entwickelt

Guten Morgen miteinander,

will mich mal melden, denn ich habe Euch was mitzuteilen:

Ich werde mich ab sofort aus WO und aus dem ganzen Börsengeschehen mehr oder minder zurückziehen. Ich habe mir das schon länger überlegt und bin jetzt über Ostern zu diesem Schluss gekommen.

Ich habe gestern fast komplett meinen Aktienbestand verkloppt. Ich habe mit meiner Bank, bei der ich einen Kredit über unser Haus laufen habe, ein große Sondertilgung vereinbart und werde diese in diesen Tagen durchführen. Da fließt das Geld hinein. Lieber meinen Kredit tilgen bzw. abbezahlen als auf im Endeffekt höhere Renditen am Markt spekulieren. Das kann böse in die Hose gehen bzw. ich denke, das eben die Renditen an den Märkten in den nächsten jahren nicht zum Himmel wachsen. Nummer Sicher, fertig...

Ein sehr kleiner Rest ist noch nicht über die Spekufrist (sind aber eh keine großen Gewinne drauf), warte diese aber ab. Bis Ende des Jahres wird dann der Rest des Kredites abbezahlt.

Zudem bin ich auch zum Schluss gekommen, hier bei WO meine Aktivitäten einzustellen. Ich hatte ja schon öfters geschrieben, dass ich zu viel Zeit aufwende und dann doch immer wieder in die gleiche Schiene verfallen bin, einfach zu viel Zeit dafür aufzuwenden, oft auch einfach zu verbissen war, was ich als nicht gut empfinde. Daher werde ich jetzt komplett aufhören und mich auch abmelden, sonst wird das wieder nix.

Also macht es gut, haltet den Thread auch ohne mich als Threadgrünmder warm…
Liebe Grüße an alle

Hallo zusammen,

I'm back on board bei WO zwar unter einem anderen Usernamen, aber immer noch der Gleiche mit den gleichen Favoriten. Ich wüsste auch nicht, was sich grundsätzlich an diesen Unternehmen groß geändert haben sollte, Krise hin oder her....

Ich poste hier, damit der Thread nicht einschläft und werde mich gegebenfalls einbringen, wenn ich es für notwendig erachte. Die "Versorgung" mit news hier werde ich aber so nicht mehr wie gewohnt durchführen, allein schon wegen Zeitmangels.
Vornehmlich werde ich aber im Gewinnerthread " Gewinnerbranchen der Jahre 2006 bis 2040" posten.

llinois Tool Works Powers Up
Miriam Marcus, 07.17.08, 3:05 PM ET

Illinois Tool Works is gaining share value after it topped Wall Street's earnings expectations on cost controls, favorable foreign currency fluctuations and added revenue through acquisitions.

Early Thursday, diversified manufacturer Illinois Tool Works (nyse: ITW - news - people ) posted better-than-expected profits and revenues in the second quarter, ended June 30, despite declining business in many of the sectors for which it provides equipment.

Investors were encouraged by the Glenview, Ill.-based company raised outlook, and its ability to manage through a weakening economic environment, trading the stock up 1.1%, or 53 cents, to $47.08, at midday in New York.

Illinois Tool Works is a manufacturer of engineered products and equipment ranging from fasteners to food service and welding equipment. It acquired 10 companies in the second quarter.

The company raised its full-year forecast for earnings from continuing operations to a range of $3.40 to $3.52 per share on a revenue increase of 9.0% to 12.0%, compared with its previously announced estimate of $3.35 to $3.49 per share on a revenue increase of 8.0% to 12.0%.The full-year guidance includes an after-tax charge of 22 cents per share taken in the first quarter due in part to impairment from a December, 2006 acquisition of software company Click Commerce. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial expect the company to earn $3.64 per share.

For the third quarter, Illinois Tool Works forecast 93 cents to 99 cents per share of earnings from continuing operations, while analysts expect 95 cents.

For the recent quarter, Illinois Tool Works reported a 4.5% increase in profits, to $528.1 million, or $1.01 per share, compared with profits of $505.6 million, or 90 cents per share, in the year-earlier quarter. Sales increased 12.2%, to $4.6 billion, up from $4.1 billion last year. Analysts expected the company to earn just 97 cents per share on sales of $4.5 billion.

Chief Executive David B. Speer said the company's strong quarterly performance exemplified its "ability to outperform across slowing end markets" due to its "decentralized operating structure and our aggressive efforts to manage costs." He also pointed out that Illinois Tool Works had added $538.0 million in acquired revenues through the end of the second quarter.

auch ITW scheint Probleme zu haben aktuell. Gerade kommen Prognosen:

ITW: Illinois Tool Works sees FY EPS from cont opers $3.22-$3.34
in marketwatch finde ich Schätzungen von 3,59 für 2008

ITW: Illinois Tool Works sees Q3 EPS from cont operations 82-86c
und hier liegen die Prognosen bei 0,94.

Das Beste daran: Vor rd. 3 Wochen kam ne Bestätigung der Analoprognosen, jetzt das.
Im September scheint ja nicht mehr viel zu gehen, wie gestern auch von SAP gemeldet.

Heute bringt Alcoa als erster seine zahlen. ich sage mal, dass wir einige Gewinnwarnungen sehen werden in den nächsten Wochen. Die Frage ist natürlich in wie weit die schon nach den "Kursavancen" der letzten Tage eingepreist sind. Bin mal gespannt, was der ITW-Kurs heute so macht...
