As if there wasn't already enough pressure.
Reviews for Samsung's latest, greatest, and hopefully non-exploding Galaxy S8 are starting to hit the web, and there's universal praise among the tech press. After years of shamelessly copying Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) designs (and getting sued for it), Samsung has truly come up with an innovative and unique design that looks nothing like anything out of Cupertino. Even a longtime Samsung critic like myself has to acknowledge that it's a pretty great-looking phone, especially when it comes to the display and virtual lack of bezel.
In retrospect, given Apple's decades-long obsession with rounded corners (dating back at least three decades), it's kind of curious that the iPhone maker has never made a display with rounded corners, particularly since Apple controls the operating system, too. Apple even once scored a dubious design patent that was literally (only solid lines are covered by the patent, while dashed lines are for illustration) nothing more than a rectangle with rounded corners. Rounded corners are just one aspect that makes the Galaxy S8's display look so polished and easy on the eyes, and this is becoming a trend among Android OEMs. (webOS had rounded corners, if you even remember what that is.)

The THAAD system is designed to shoot down short- and medium-range ballistic missiles on their descent. The Lockheed-manufactured system with Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) radars attracted attention in the last year as the primary U.S. deterrent to North Korean rockets over the Pacific. It's also a potential deterrent to Iran, which is why the system is of interest to both Saudi Arabia and Israel among other U.S. allies in the region.

Shares of Raytheon (NYSE:RTN) rose 13% in February according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. It was a continuation of a trend for the military industrial company, which gained roughly 21% in the first two months of the year. That February gain, meanwhile, easily outpaced the performances of some of its largest peers. But the news driving it really started in January.

My intent here isn't to scare you with alarming statistics. I just want to call attention to the problem -- to underscore the investment potential associated with the companies that can help fix it. Between the critical need for infrastructure spending and powerful demographic trends, it's easy to see the robust growth potential ahead for companies that specialize in the purification and delivery of clean drinking water. On the other hand, the right investments in R&D efforts to develop new products and services can help companies differentiate themselves from competitors and build sustainable moats. Xylem (NYSE:XYL), a leading pure-play water technology provider, has increased its R&D investments as a percentage of sales to accelerate the pace of innovation across its product portfolio. 3M (NYSE:MMM), with its diversified product portfolio and strong focus on innovation, is another example. Xylem Inc (NYSE:XYL) has been assigned an average rating of “Buy” from the fifteen ratings firms that are covering the company, MarketBeat.com reports. One research analyst has rated the stock with a sell recommendation, five have issued a hold recommendation and nine have issued a buy recommendation on the company. The average 12-month target price among analysts that have issued a report on the stock in the last year is $78.31.
