Parker Hannifin is the king of motion engineering: it makes the hydraulic and pneumatic systems, valves, seals and filters that move excavators, aircraft and factories. A discreet industrial conglomerate with decades of dividend growth behind it.

What will shape its future

  • Its aerospace business, bolstered by acquisitions, with higher margins and its own cycle.
  • Aftermarket and replacement parts: the quiet, recurring half of its revenue.
