The Timken Company (TKR Quick QuoteTKR - Free Report) has inked a deal with EnPro Industries (NPO Quick QuoteNPO - Free Report) to acquire the latter’s surface-engineering solutions business GGB Bearing Technology ("GGB") for $305 million cash. GGB boasts a portfolio of metal polymer bearings, serving a wide range of industries. Its expertise in plain bearing coatings complements TKR’s portfolio of roller and ball bearings. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022 and will be accretive to earnings in the first full quarter after closing. Founded in 1899, GGB has manufacturing facilities across the United States, Europe and China, and has a global engineering, distribution and sales footprint. From Polymer Coatings and Metal-Polymer bearings to Fiber Reinforced Composite bearings and self-aligning, shaft-bearing assemblies, its solutions are specifically designed to reduce friction, and optimize performance and durability. Its surface engineered solutions cater to a wide range of customers, including aerospace, agricultural, automotive, construction, industrial, medical and mining to name a few. GGB’s revenues are expected to be around $200 million in fiscal 2022. GGB’s product portfolio complements Timken’s industry-leading, engineered-bearing solutions. This acquisition provides strong synergies and expands Timken’s business by adding products with a solid growth outlook. GGB's portfolio of metal-polymer bearings will enhance TKR's ability to provide the best solution to customers' most challenging friction management applications.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.63% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through August 1, 2022. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
