Top Income Companies To Watch In Right Now

Twenty-First Century Fox (NASDAQ: FOX  ) is the next entertainment company looking to diversify revenues and take a stake in the large market of�film-inspired theme parks around the world. Twenty-First Century Fox World is planned to open in Malaysia in 2016.

The park will be built in partnership with the Genting Group, a Malaysian entertainment company that owns and operates casinos and other entertainment services around the world. Genting is the same company that owns Resorts World Sentosa, one of only two casinos in neighboring Singapore. Genting is not new to these kinds of partnerships, either, as�it is the Resorts World in Singapore that houses Universal Studios Singapore. Universal Studios is owned by NBC Universal and parent company Comcast� (NASDAQ: CMCSA  ) . Theme park operations have been a lucrative segment for Comcast. The company made $270 million in total theme park income during Q3 2013 alone, up 7% from the same quarter last year.

Twenty-First Century Fox World will actually be built on the skeleton of an existing theme park, decreasing the costs of construction and time to operation considerably. The renovated and expanded Fox World will span 25 acres and will house more than 25 rides and attractions based on Twenty-First Century Fox�films such as Ice Age, Alien vs. Predator, Planet of the Apes, and others. The total cost to Genting for all of this is only $300 million.

For starters, Kaydon will meaningfully expand the company's U.S. presence - something it could have done on its own eventually, but certainly not without spending money. With that, there is the possibility of using Kaydon's existing U.S. footprint to sell more SKF products and further trouble rivals like RBC Bearings (ROLL) and ITT (ITT).
