Comments:
GWW has a excellent record of growing both earnings and dividends. In the near-term GWW will likely face tough markets due to slow economic conditions. Long-term initiatives to enhance their distribution should help the company increase market share. Risks include economic conditions, pricing pressures and an adverse ruling from the Department of Justice related to compliance issues on a U.S. government contract.
