#2 - Corteva (NYSE:CTVA)
Corteva (NYSE:CTVA) brings a taste of the tech sector to agriculture. The company is engaged in the emerging area of agriscience. Generally speaking, Corteva is providing farmers with digital farm-management systems that give them access to the data they need to efficiently manage their crops for the highest yield.
The company currently has a P/E ratio of over 24x. That’s high for the sector, but perhaps investors can look past it as part of a “tech premium.” It will be easier for investors to ignore if the company hits estimates for double-digit earnings growth in the next five years.
To that end, in the company’s most recent earnings report, it reported that new product sales exceeded $1 billion for the first half of the year. That was a year-over-year increase of over 60%.
