Adding Valmont Industries (VMI)

Started a 1/4 position in VMI today.


Overview of the company from Reuters:


From FASTGraphs:


Decent undervaluation, beaten up pretty well the last six days or so.   Pays a small dividend, but has been increasing it the dividend every year for 11 consecutive years.  Dividend growth rate for the past 14 years in 9.1%.  Looking at the past 5 years shows that today's price of $136 or less is a good entry point, with a margin of safety of approximately 17%.


While not that important, analysts are pretty bullish on the stock.  From Fidelity:


I filled a limit order today at $136.

That's all for now,
