The Wholesale industry currently sits up 0.6% versus the S&P 500, which is down 0.1%.

TheStreet Ratings group would like to highlight 3 stocks pushing the industry lower today:

3. Airgas (ARG) is one of the companies pushing the Wholesale industry lower today. As of noon trading, Airgas is down $0.53 (-0.6%) to $88.75 on light volume Thus far, 364,596 shares of Airgas exchanged hands as compared to its average daily volume of 511,600 shares. The stock has ranged in price between $88.18-$89.22 after having opened the day at $88.96 as compared to the previous trading day's close of $89.28.

Airgas, Inc., through its subsidiaries, engages in the distribution of industrial, medical, and specialty gases in the United States. Airgas has a market cap of $6.9 billion and is part of the services sector. The company has a P/E ratio of 21.1, above the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7. Shares are up 14.8% year to date as of the close of trading on Friday. Currently there are 11 analysts that rate Airgas a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and 3 rate it a hold.

TheStreet Ratings rates Airgas as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, solid stock price performance, increase in net income, good cash flow from operations and growth in earnings per share. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated. Get the full Airgas Ratings Report now.
