Over the past 10 years ITW has grown revenue by an average of 4.24% annually. This number would be greater if we discount 2009, which was a poor year.

Conclusion
ITW's over 800 decentralized business units hold 19,000 patents across the world, including such everyday items as a common zip-lock bag fastener, the plastic 6 pack ring holder, and those plastic interlocking fasteners found on everything from luggage to backpacks to life-jackets. In 2009 alone they were awarded 1200 new US and foreign patents. A portfolio of indispensable products, a track record of innovation, and strong management make a compelling argument that this company has long-term earning potential.
Analysts expect the company to see strong growth in the next few years, mainly from emerging markets. Many of the products ITW makes are early cycle businesses, such as automotive, polymers and fluids, and construction. As countries enter the global marketplace, these products will be in high demand.
I find ITW attractively valued at the current price. Analysts believe the stock can make it into the low 60's in the next two years, which could mean a low double digit return in addition to the dividend.
