IDEX Corporation: It's Best To Remain Cautious As Earnings Near
IDEX Corporation's stock has fallen 19.3% since last July, but I still rate it a 'hold' due to its high valuation. Revenue and profitability metrics for IDEX have been volatile, with mixed results across its three main business segments. Management's 2025 guidance suggests modest revenue growth and improved earnings, but economic uncertainty and potential tariff impacts remain concerns.

The Next Big Opportunity: My Favorite Dividend Stocks For The Shift Ahead
I believe we're at a turning point for cyclical stocks, with improving indicators and global growth signaling potential outperformance in industrials, energy, and transportation. I'm positioning my portfolio for this shift, adding to railroads, machinery, and energy stocks. I'm confident these sectors will see strong returns and accelerating dividend growth. Of course, risks remain - geopolitical tensions, inflation, or economic slowdowns could derail this trend. But for now, the risk/reward looks favorable.
