- BASF Stocks as a Case Study in Corporate Evolution (Part 2) - Editor, 7 January 2008 - No Comments yet
BASF’s national origins make its stocks worthy of special review. No other country has been as vigorous and pro-active in condemning its own modern history. BASF is a survivor of the Nazi World War II effort, and it has also thrived in the second half of the 20th century. It has matched the best corporations of this country in sustained stock dividends. Moreover, it is strongly poised to play a multifarious global role in the new Millennium. The chemical industry is not exactly recommended as a sunshine sector by any financial advisor, but BASF stock is an unusual commitment to useful and relevant technologies.
BASF Stocks as a Case Study in Corporate Evolution (Part 1)
Inorganic growth is a way of life at BASF. Again, it is a low profile process, but determined to generate stock value nevertheless. The acquisition of the agricultural input products of American Cyanamid raised some investor eyebrows when it was first announced, but stock dividends over the past five years have irrefutably proved the benefits of this visionary move. Some of the success was due to the German precision with which new authorities were established in the acquired stocks. Other smaller acquisitions have been even lower below stock market radars, but have certainly unlocked significant stock value over time.
