- Monday, December 17, 2012, 2:51 PM Bullish on the water sector, BAML says it's not just about "pressure both on the supply and demand side." The Global Water Total Return Index has formed a year-long bottom relative to the S&P, says the analyst team. At least four ETFs claim to be plays on water - PHO, PIO, CGW, FIW - but it's worth a look under the hood to see exactly what they're holding. Comment! [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, November 29, 2012, 3:42 PM Pentair (PNR +2.8%) basks in an upgrade to Buy with price target of $58 from Bernstein. The move follows Pentair's 2013 EPS outlook of $3.10-$3.30 vs. 2012's expected range of $2.30-$2.35. Additionally, Pentair believes (presentation) it can earn $5 in 2015. The stock is the largest holding of the Water Resources ETF (PHO +1%). Comment!
- Tuesday, August 21, 2012, 10:59 AM Water Resource ETFs may be more marketing ploy than a play on scarce potable water, writes Everyday Finance. PHO is more a utility REIT, the vast majority of its holdings being in real estate positions for utilities and water sanitizing companies. Others (PIO and CGW) face similar drawbacks. 1 Comment [Commodities]
- Monday, March 26, 2012, 6:54 PM VC David Henderson has one word for you: water. Though not historically seen as a growth area, Henderson expects the strains of population growth, climate change, and emerging-markets industrialization to lead to heavy interest in both water infrastructure projects, and new technologies that can boost the availability of clean water. A few water ETFs: FIW, CGW, PHO, PIO. 5 Comments [Quick Ideas, Commodities, Tech]
- Thursday, July 21, 2011, 11:28 AM Citigroup economist Willem Buiter says the water market will soon become hotter than oil, arguing that the concentration of the world’s population and increasing standards of living will drive up demand. He recommends investors play the urbanization trend by buying into water companies such as DHR, ITT, NLC, PNR and ROP. Or maybe just buy one of the water ETFs CGW, FIW, PIO, and PHO. Comment!
