NICOR Inc.

NICOR Inc. is among the world’s largest Gas Utilities sector businesses in the world.  NICOR Inc.’s employees generate $131.6M in profits on $2.975B of revenue.  Global output in the Gas Utilities business will likely rise substantially over the next 10 years.  Long-term economic growth may lift all boats, but NICOR Inc. is determined to remain a market leader.  Sectoral leadership in the Gas Utilities segment takes dedication and consistency, but management seeks out-sized growth.

NICOR Inc.’s ticker symbol GAS has recently been trading near $43.20 a share.  The NICOR Inc. corporate headquarters in Naperville IL predicts Gas Utilities profits will satisfy shareholders in search of risk-appropriate returns.

The significance of market volume is sometimes ignored, but with a total market capitalization of $1.945B ensures sufficient liquidity.  With a beta of 0.21, the company is less volatile than the market as a whole.  When the average equity moves lower, NICOR Inc. moves less aggressively.
