Our meetings with US investors this week focused on a

trade. ENR remains well held, with conviction still relatively high.

Siemens AG saw the most incremental interest this trip.

Key Takeaways

but with more debate now on the 'duration' of the theme vs prior trips.

ENR still is the best held stock in our coverage by US investors. Despite recent

share price volatility, conviction in the name was still relatively high.

Siemens AG interest was higher than we would have anticipated, as we met a mix

Schneider preferred to Legrand. Still some two way debate on Schneider around

management change and execution, which is holding some investors back.

What surprised us. 1) few questions on underweight ideas, 2) low Atlas / Epiroc

interest at current valuations, 3) more Weir owners in US than we realized.
