#5 - Pentair (NYSE:PNR)
Pentair (NYSE:PNR) is attempting to address two of the current issues with our global water supply. First is the need for home filtration. The company recently introduced the Pentair Rocean Reservoir which is a countertop water filtration system.
Not only will this system help provide cleaner water from the tap; it also helps reduce the need for plastic water bottles. This is potentially a huge driver as companies are trying to discourage plastic bottle usage as part of a more sustainable approach.
Pentair sports one of the best profit margins in its sector and is trading for around 13x earnings. That being said, PNR stock is down about 37% in 2022. However, if the stock has put in a bottom around its 52-week low investors may be rewarded with a stock that analysts tracked by MarketBeat give a price target of $64.91, a 42% upside.
