I couldn't recall if we'd even had a full discussion focused just on EMR. This thread was all I found in searching, so I'm dusting it off.
I'm thinking about starting a small position in EMR, and would love opinions about the state of the company right now and the valuation. Seems like the price is right for this one -- price is at multi-year low, dividend yield is much higher than its historical average. Earnings trajectory and payout ratio do not suggest that we're likely to see a string of big raises in coming years, but seems like it will likely be able to keeps its very long streak alive, from the current 3.6 percent base.
Pros? Cons? Other thoughts?
