The Company manufactures engineered valves, hydrants, pipe fittings and ductile iron pipe for the municipal, commercial, residential, oil and gas, and fire protection, as well as heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) markets.
In the report, the analyst notes:
"Profitability is dependent upon the U.S. economy, municipal water infrastructure construction and residential projects. The majority of net sales are contingent upon residential construction, municipal water infrastructure and non-residential construction projects in the United States. Residential construction starts are expected to fall by approximately 35% to 40% in 2009 compared with last year. Housing analysts don't expect a significant rebound in housing starts in 2009, with some analysts predicting historically low number of housing starts in 2010 as well.
