Pearson (PSON)

Pearson is one of my favourite companies. Not necessarily due to it's financial performance, which cannot be described as anything but very good. What I like about Pearson is the iconic brands that it owns. It originally started out as a construction company during the industrial revolution. However the company is now an international publishing house and more. The group comprises of three main divisions: Education, Financial Times and Penguin. You can also throw in Madam Toussauds.  Almost two thirds of its revenues are generated from the Education arm, however it is the other two that Pearson is most famous for.

The dividend track record is excellent and is forecasted by analysts to continue.
