On CAPS, 96% of the 1,076 members who have rated Johnson believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include Scottmacd33 and jargonific.

Late last year, Scottmacd33 highlighted Johnson as an ideal selection: "What is not to like about this stock? Its an industry leader, solid dividend growth, great management and in an industry that is on the rise."

Johnson's massive scale, increasing diversification, and cheapish valuation continue to support its five-star CAPS status. Currently, Johnson trades at a 16.9 P/E. That's a discount to listed competitors Honeywell (21.7), Siemens (19.0), and Magna (21.1), as well as other diversified industrial giants like General Electric (NYSE: GE) (18.1) and United Technologies (NYSE: UTX) (18.0).

CAPS member jargonific elaborates on the bull case:

[Johnson] has broad scope of trade in the automotive industry and is seeking to diversify. Their car batteries are more earth friendly now that they have developed a system for recycle and disposal of them. I'd say they hold continued growth potential especially since they were probably hastily judged after a great quarterly result.
