Water demand keeps on increasing but what about supply? Despite the vast amounts of water present on the globe, fresh water only represent 3% of the total volume an and yet less than 1% of the planet’s water is drinkable. According to the UN, 20% of the world’s population does not have access to drinkable water and this figure keeps on rising. How should investors play this sector?
Water stock prices have been climbing steadily in the past years but recent market turmoil may have led to some interesting opportunities. Some investors will prefer to look for conglomerates that are active in this sector such as General Electric (GE) – which is a great compnay but is also trading near a 52-Week high. However, we like to look at some of the more specialized players.
The companies that are currently on our watch list are:
* Aqua America (WTR) – largest water utility company in the US
* Veolia Environment (VE) – probably the best global water play
Again, the share price has already risen but we feel that there is still enormous long-term potential on the sector and that these stocks are ideally placed to profit from this growth. Our readers know that we are uncomfortable with the way the market seems to only be noticing the ‘good’ news and that in the short-term we see a ‘forced’ wakeup call coming. We will be looking to use the latter scenario as a buying opportunity for stocks that interest us.
