Hot Industrial Disributor Companies For 2014

There aren't too many commodities more leveraged to construction activity than cement, which is both good and bad news for Cemex (NYSE:CX).

With a debt restructuring providing more breathing room and a focus on ��alue over volume��in the U.S., Cemex could have some room to trade higher on optimism about a U.S. housing recovery.

    However, there are a couple of bright spots out there. First, sales of Westport's 12 liter ISX12 G, being co-built with�Cummins� (NYSE: CMI  ) , are on track to meet targets for 2014 according to a number of industry experts. Sales of natural gas trucks in 2014 are expected to have grown 27% this year versus 2013. Also, part of the delay in bringing HPDI to market is Westport's shift to HPDI 2.0, and the adoption of HPDI 2.0 by development partners like�AB Volvo� (NASDAQOTH: VOLVY  ) . The injector components are expected to be manufactured in Westport's venture with�Delphi Automotive� (NYSE: DLPH  ) , and the costs will be less than earlier versions, helping natural gas engines be more cost-competitive with diesel.�

    As the U.S. automobile industry recovers, auto parts suppliers are expecting to see increasing sales volumes. Particularly firms such as Delphi Automotive (DLPH) and Stoneridge Inc. (SRI), which specialize in electronic components, expect to make large profits. Increasingly electrified vehicles, higher demand for hybrid and electric powertrain vehicles and stricter governmental emissions regulations should drive revenue growth for these firms in coming years.

    Or maybe a global fast-food giant like�Yum! Brands� (NYSE: YUM  ) could satisfy your hunger for stability. Though you'll pay a higher premium for its shares at around 20 times last year's earnings, it also offers a sustainable 2% dividend and is quickly expanding operations around the world -- particularly in emerging markets like China, where it plans to nearly triple its number of locations to 14,000.

    All in all, even as competitor and Taco Bell operator Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM  ) continues to struggle mightily overseas, Chipotle's great quarter seems to have effectively dispelled both investors' concerns for low comparable sales as well as questions surrounding the company's ability to continue growing both quickly and profitably.

    Yum! Brands (NYSE: YUM  ) is the global fast food giant behind Taco Bell, KFC, and Pizza Hut. The company has been trying to steal market share away from McDonald's (NYSE: MCD  ) breakfast business, while reenergizing its sales in China. As Yum! approaches another earnings release, investors are eager to hear how this two-part strategy is playing out.�

    Of course, with restaurant industry growth flat in 2013, part of AFC Enterprises' success has hinged on its ability to take market share from competitors, notably Yum! Brands' (NYSE: YUM  ) KFC unit.�While KFC's more than 4,600 domestic units make it the current category kingpin, its saturation of the domestic market has led it to focus on international markets for growth, especially in China, where it has aggressively built an operating footprint that rivals the size of its domestic store base.�
