SLGN was recommended by 2 for 1 Stock Split Newsletter at $31.98 (split-adjusted) in Investment Digest issue 669, dated April 21, 2010.
“This month’s sell is Silgan Holdings, Inc. (SLGN, $41). Here is a great example of the type of company I wish we had 30 of in the 2 for 1 portfolio. Added to the portfolio in April 2010, at close to its 52-week high, Silgan performed just as hoped over the next two and a half years, never rising above 3.87% of the portfolio or falling below 3.15%. It churned out profits, raised its dividend every year, and returned 13.88% annualized to 2 for 1 without ever causing a ruckus of any kind. The Vanguard 500 Index Fund’s overall annualized return was +9.27% over the same time period.”
