JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Shares of Wabtec ( WAB ) have been trading strong, currently changing hands at just over $250 per share, within imminent reach of all-time highs. Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies benefits from continued organic growth, solid M&A efforts, and a strong order intake, firing on all cylinders here. On top of strong current operating momentum, which has been going on for a couple of years, further growth is seen in sales and margins in the coming years. This provides a solid roadmap for the company to execute upon and even enjoy the ride. However, with shares trading near the all-time highs, for good reasons, quite some good news has been priced in here, with shares trading around 25 times forward earnings. This makes me appreciative of the performance of the business, yet I am hard-pressed to see appeal here, although I am seriously considering serious setbacks here. My regard for Wabtec has only been increasing. After I was constructive on the shares in the fall at levels just below the $200 mark, shares have risen by a quarter ever since, killing the immediate appeal. Other, higher conviction ideas, including recent M&A efforts, can be found at Value In Corporate Events . A Good News Show In February, Wabtec announced the closure of the $960 million acquisition of Dellner-Couplers, a Swedish-based firm whose acquisition was announced early last year. Other good news was reported on the order front. In February, the company reported a $670 million deal with CSX ( CSX ) to upgrade a fleet of 100 new Evolution Series locomotives and 50 modernized locomotives. That news came days after the company signed a $1.2 billion deal with Union Pacific ( UNP ) to modernize its AC4400 locomotives. In fact, a third order was reported this quarter, with Wabtec announcing a smaller $386 million deal with the New York MTA back in January. Combined, these orders total $2.2 billion—that's a substantial number, almost equivalent to a quarter's ...

The Guardian columnist speaks about why we need to tackle global food insecurity “There are lots of different components to food security,” the Guardian columnist George Monbiot tells Nosheen Iqbal . “If you are totally dependent on the production within your own borders, well, one bad harvest can throw you into insecurity. “So, a large part of our national food security, and this applies to many countries around the world, is now highly dependent on global trade. It means that if you have harvest failure in one part of the world, then the gap can be filled by production elsewhere.” Continue reading...
