7investing Lead Advisor Matthew Cochrane’s May recommendation comes with high inside ownership, giving leadership a very long-term mindset while squarely aligning management’s interests with shareholders. This company operates in a recession-resistant industry and even gets a boost from inflation. With a long track record of growing revenue profitably, this Dividend Aristocrat might be a nice addition for investors looking to give some buoyancy to their own portfolios during these turbulent times.

Hi, I’m Matthew Cochrane, lead advisor at 7investing.

This month, I’m recommending a boring business. In fact, I can’t think of one thing this company does that’s exciting. It’s not a sexy software name and it’s not about to disrupt a trillion-dollar industry. 

It’s admittedly a boring company, performing a necessary but very unexciting function, with growth that can be hard to measure if you stare at stock prices every day. Yet when you look back at its stock performance over decades, you see that it has decidedly out-performed the market. Since going public, its revenue has grown every single year except for one and it is also a Dividend Aristocrat, meaning it has raised its dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. 

Because of this company’s critical nature, acquisition strategy, and business culture, I believe it will continue its record of out-performance.
