AirProducts & Chemicals

AIR PRODUCT & CHEMICALS (APD)

Aktuell mein persönlicher Favorit ... da paßt mMn viel:

36 Jahre Dividendenerhöhungen, aktuelle Dividendenrendite bei ca. 2,8% (ca. 13% über 5-Jahresdurchschnitt), nächste zu erwartende Deklaration einer Erhöhung Ende Januar, FCF payout ratio beständig im Bereich 40%

   

   

   

   

   

Spannend finde ich das Thema Gasifizierung - APD investiert heftig und gerade die Diskussion hin und her Klimawandel macht es massiv interessant, da zB aus "schmutzigen" Ausgangsstoffen wie Kohle sauberere Endprodukte (Syngas) entstehen. 

   

   

und der chart dazu:

und für die mit einem längeren Anlagehorizont    (last 10y)

   

aber Obacht .... in Krise kein defensiver Titel (date range last 13y)

   

Die soeben verkündete Dividendenerhöhung von AirProducts reicht nun doch nicht für fahri, da immer noch <3% ! 

Tatsächlich hätte ich auch mit etwas mehr gerechnet, aber parallel der letzten Zahlen von SWK, TXN scheint 2019 die guidance abzusinken?!

Air Products & Chemicals übernimmt nun komplett ACP Europa SA.

Die machen genau die richtigen Schritte, erweitern sehr sinnvoll ihr Geschäft und die Dividendenerhöhungen bleiben seit >30y >5% trotzdem!! Einer meiner fundamentalen Überzeugungen, denen ich auch 40% abwärts folgen und nachkaufen würde. GREAT BUSINESS!

"Air Products (NYSE: APD) today announced it has completed the acquisition of ACP Europe SA (ACP), the largest independent carbon dioxide (CO₂) business in Continental Europe. All required customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals have been satisfied. Financial terms of the transaction are not being disclosed. 


Concluding this deal enables the company to better serve existing customers and pursue new industrial gas growth opportunities. Customers will now benefit from an expanded liquid CO₂ supply position across additional European geographies and greater density throughout Continental Europe.  

“This is a good, logical deal. The ACP CO2 business complements our own and provides a solid platform to deliver customer value and pursue further European industrial gas growth,” commented Ivo Bols, Air Products’ Industrial Gases President in Europe and Africa. “I have no doubt that our customers will benefit from a stronger portfolio as well as the collective and complementary expertise of our combined team.”
