John Dickerson, President & CEO Summit Global Management, Inc., has been following the Water companies for serveral years. He has recently updated his special report on why investors should be looking at water for potential investment opportunities.
The water industry is comprised of a vast array of companies providing products and services toward the collection, conveyance, treatment and monitoring/analysis of water and wastewater for multiple purposes and end users. As you will see in the table below, investing in the U.S.-based utility component of this industry has historically worked very well, but the time has come for much broader global exposure in water stocks.Water is the single most important economic input to the global economy, and more specifically, to individual enterprises. The disparity between supply and demand for clean water is an inexorable problem; yet the relentless demographic demand for its uninterrupted supply makes water by far the most stable of all commodities – unaffected by cyclical influences which constantly badger other more typical input commodities.
This global theme of water insufficiency relative to unrelenting demand, along with all the related trends and opportunities it has spawned, continues to benefit the prospects of a broad range of publicly traded companies which help to provide solutions to this supply/demand dilemma.. A diverse global universe of investment opportunities exists within the theme of water investing; all the while eliminating the typical resistance to sector fund investments, which are far more limited in scope and susceptible to cyclical influences: Water investing is a broad and deep global theme, and is far too diverse to be considered sector investing.
