▼ + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +9 min

Our four industrial-focused stocks — Caterpillar (CAT), Emerson Electric (EMR), Honeywell (HON) and Linde (LIN) — have all been gaining steam over the past three months. There are positive short-term catalysts for our industrial holdings including the U.S. government's commitment to infrastructure spending, global decarbonization initiatives, and industrial automation. For all these reasons, Jim said EMR stock has been "stuck in the mud." EMR stock also pays a healthy 2.5% annual dividend yield and is a real dividend aristocrat. The Club's take: Jim expects Honeywell's stock to go higher from here as the market broadens beyond a handful of tech stocks.
