Stocks opened higher this morning, following the release of August’s jobs report. Even though the report was underwhelming, investors and traders starting buying up stocks due to their belief that the weak employment data would prevent the Federal Reserve from applying the breaks to its monetary stimulus. However, those initial gains were quickly erased following comments from Russian president Vladimir Putin that suggested that Russia would aid Syria in the event of a strike by the United States. Nonetheless, stocks eventually bounced off their lows and the major indices were mostly unchanged by the close.
Stocks on the RiseAmerican Tower Corp (AMT) shares rallied after the company announced a $4.8 billion acquisition of MIP Tower Holdings. Also rising today were shares of Timken Co (TKR), after the company announced that it will separate into two publicly-traded companies.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Ong Kang Wei]
Another example of such a company is Textainer Group Holdings (TGH). Besides having a great container leasing service that is needed by shipping companies, like Digital Realty, it is the undisputed leader in its industry. Being the largest of its kind in the world, the company has a significant economies of scale benefit. This means that Textainer will get the lion's share of the profits, which is proven by the company's outsized profit margin of 42.10%.
- [By Joseph Hogue]
There is one particular shipping company of which investors are being especially fearful, to the point of hating it. I'm talking about Textainer Group Holdings (NYSE: TGH), a container leasing company with 2.6 million 20-foot equivalent containers, the largest fleet among its peers.
- [By Selena Maranjian]
Textainer (NYSE: TGH ) is in the business of leasing big containers for use in intermodal shipping. The shipping business can be expected to pick up as the global economy gets back on its feet. Textainer has recently been expanding into the leasing of tanks, as well. The company offers not only an appealing dividend yield of 4.9%, but it also has been raising that payout significantly, more than doubling it over the past five years. Its payout ratio is below 50%, too, suggesting plenty of room for further growth. Textainer's stock seems reasonably or attractively priced, too, with its forward P/E ratio of 8.0 below its five-year average of 8.5. Bears don't like its rising debt or negative free cash flow, though (which is partly a result of beefing up its supply of containers), but there's still a lot to like about it.
