I have been sharing my top stock ideas since 1998. So I know what excites investors…and what doesn't.
So yes, at first you will not jump out of your chair to buy shares of Mueller Water Products (MWA) because it doesn’t have the same appeal as an innovative company in AI, crypto, or biotech company.
But how about just good old fashioned…they are growing gangbusters and the stock is worth a lot more because other investors are also sleeping on this pick?
So hang in there with me for a couple minutes to get the full story as to why MWA might deserve a spot in your portfolio.
Mueller’s approach to water management is at an appealing intersection between necessity and growth industry as too much of the world does not have drinkable water.
So it provides a very stable part of the business, which typically makes it more resilient in tough times. And then it excels in the good times based upon the compelling growth aspect.
That growth shows up in the current 26% year over year EPS growth expectation. Even better is appreciating that their last 4 quarterly reports have led to an average 45% earnings beat.
If this trend continues it means that annual growth will be MUCH higher than advertised. And yes this will lead to ample share price gains.
The Zen Ratings analysis of 115 different factors for the firm are also mighty impressive:
A rated Strong Buy (top 2% of 4,600 stocks analyzed)
Top 21% Momentum
Top 7% for Sentiment (what the “Smart Money” thinks of shares)
Top 9% Financials
Top 19% Growth
Top 13% Safety (like I said above...this stock blends safety and growth in a very unique way which is why I wanted to get our shares now during this time of market volatility over the outlook for tariffs).
My bet is that MWA has a real shot at reaching $35 this year and providing a chance to double as we roll into 2026. That gives us plenty of reason to pipe in shares now in at only $27.
