Carbon capture, utilization and storage processes have been around for half a decade, but are currently gaining momentum. Some focus on modifying already-standing power as well as industrial plants that work on carbon capture. Put more succinctly, Deutsche Bank analyst James Hubbard called carbon capture "simple in theory" but "capital intensive and divisive" in reality. He also noted the company has one of the industry's largest carbon capture positions. Staphos cited the potential of its carbon capture operations as a long-term reason to be optimistic, even as its more traditional end-market, homebuilding, faces near-term pressure.

☆ Goldman loves this 'cash flow compounder' and predicts nearly 30% upside

"TDY is one of the highest quality, most consistent, best managed companies we cover that compounds cash flow over time," analyst Noah Poponak said. Cash flow compounders reinvest their excess free cash flow each year back into the company at a rate that is sustainable and provide long-term growth. Teledyne has compounded free cash flow at a 17% compound annual growth rate over the last decade, according to the Goldman note. According to Poponak, Teledyne's margins have expanded over time by shifting into higher value-added business lines, which he expects will support continued EPS and free cash flow compounding long term. Another catalyst that will drive higher earnings and cash flow is Teledyne's M & A efforts, the analyst said.
