Schindler Holding: One of The World Leaders in The Elevator & Escalator Industry

Paul Lountzis presented his in-depth investment thesis on Schindler Holding (Zurich: SCHN) at Wide-Moat Investing Summit 2013.

The Bottom Line: One of the world leaders in the elevator & escalator industry. Schindler and three other companies (Otis, Kone, ThyssenKrupp) have over 80% market share (excluding China). Maintenance is the key! Over half of Schindler’s profits come from maintenance (25-35% margins) versus new installations (5-12% margins). Revenue growth (benfiting from global megatrends: urbanization, emerging markets wealth creation, energy efficiency, demographic change) and margin improvement potential relative to competitors. Trades at 16x 2013 P/E excluding net cash. Honest and capable management.
