ITW reported third-quarter organic sales growth of 5% year over year excluding a one-off tornado impact. Earnings per share grew around 6.8% primarily from 40 basis points of margin expansion.
ITW’s long-term incentive plan is based partially on the company’s return on invested capital, a metric we think encourages management to grow the business responsibly and efficiently.
ITW’s growth profile has not meaningfully improved from a decade ago, a period during which ITW’s organic top line grew below GDP.
