Every Pentair (PNR) shareholder received one share of nVent Electric (NVT) for every share they owned in Pentair as of 4:59 p.m. on Monday. Like Pentair, nVent’s global headquarters are in London, while it is run out of its U.S. headquarters in St. Louis Park
The split, announced by Pentair’s board one year ago, is seen as a way to get Pentair’s remaining water technology company and the new nVent Electric to grow faster
Lleva cayendo a plomo desde que presentó resultados el 17 de Abril. Después del spinoff pasó a ser una posición bastante pequeña en mi cartera y me había marcado los 35$ como objetivo para ampliar. De las empresas relacionadas con el agua es sin duda la que cotiza a mejor precio pero su yield bajo y su mediana capitalización no parece levantar mucho interés entre los inversores DGI. Creo que M* la tiene con un fair value de 43$

Me pasó lo mismo y al final decidí (no con pena) deshacerme de ellas y de la surgida del desdoblamiento. Tener que seguirlas y apuntar los dividendos para el poco dinero que era… Compré otras empresas. No descarto volver a entrar si se diera el caso pero la verdad que ya no la sigo.
