In a power plant, turbines like the one pictured above move at different rates to produce electricity.
Each turbine is independent. But they must be controlled at the same time to generate the right amount of power.
Before automation, one person would have to adjust each turbine.
Now, a distributed control system can make those decisions and adjustments at the same time.
The chart above shows the value of the distributed control systems market worldwide. From 2018 to 2026, it will increase 53.4%.
I have high conviction the demand for these automated systems will grow beyond current projections.
Today’s Power Stock creates distributed control systems throughout Asia: HollySys Automation Technologies LTD (Nasdaq: HOLI).
HOLI Stock Power Ratings in September 2022.

HollySys stock scores a “Strong Bullish” 94 out of 100 on our Stock Power Ratings system, and we expect it to beat the broader market by 3X in the next 12 months.
HOLI Stock: High Momentum and Strong Value
HollySys just reported a strong quarter.
Highlights include:
- Quarterly revenue of $182.1 million — a 15% year-over-year increase!

HOLI earns a “Bullish” 73 on growth.
It scores a 75 on value thanks its price-to-earnings ratio of 14.5. Compare that to the industry average of 25.5, and you can see HOLI stock is a bargain compared to its peers.
HOLI is only 7.1% away from its 52-week high set in 2021. It’s crushing the machinery manufacturing industry (blue line in the chart below) — down 15.2%.

That means we’re “Strong Bullish” and expect it to beat the broader market by at least three times in the next 12 months.
