Carillon Eagle Small Cap Growth Fund commented on Chart Industries (NYSE:GTLS) in its Q4 2022 Investor Letter:
“Chart Industries Co., Ltd. (NYSE:GTLS) manufactures highly engineered equipment for multiple applications in the energy and industrial gas markets. The company has announced a significant pending acquisition of a UK-based provider of air and gas handling products. Unfortunately, the stock has since sold off quite aggressively. This is primarily due to investor concerns about the additional debt financing required to finance the transaction. Despite the additional financial leverage, the trade should provide a higher level of aftermarket exposure to the charts, which will result in both higher margins and a more regular, non-cyclical earnings stream. The acquisition complements Chart’s core capabilities in liquefied natural gas while also expanding the company’s offerings in energy transition areas such as green hydrogen, carbon capture and water treatment. ”
