Parting with Altria on News of Stake in JUUL
Image shown: Altria's performance during the past couple years.Tobacco giant Altria is working to expand its long-term growth potential away from the secular decline in cigarette volumes via an investment in the leading US e-cigarette company. Unfortunately, we think its large investment in JUUL has put the pace of its dividend growth at risk, and we’re parting with this long-term winner in both simulated newsletter portfolios. We’re also putting Altria’s fair value estimate under review, and we expect to lower it materially in an updated report to be published after the holidays. Technical weakness has also put a damper on our excitement.

Yes -- Anheuser-Busch’s and Vector Group’s Dividends Aren’t Solid
Image Source: A-B Inbev. A couple other research shops have said that Anheuser-Busch’s and Vector Group’s dividends may be at risk, and we agree. Both of their Dividend Cushion ratios are far below 1, and Anheuser-Busch’s Dividend Cushion ratio is -0.6! Are we expecting a dividend cut tomorrow? No. But we prefer dividend growth ideas that have Dividend Cushion ratios far greater than 1.

Constellation Sets Optimistic Tone, Outlines Cannabis Opportunity
Image Source: Constellation Brands. The producer of beer, wine and spirits reported excellent second quarter fiscal 2019 results and described cannabis as a “once-a-century disruptive market transition.” Without a doubt, the opportunity in cannabis looks tremendous, but the landscape is fast-evolving. We think Constellation will be a long-term winner in the space, but outsize profits in cannabis may be tough to come by initially.

Trump Targets China with Tariffs
Image: Shanghai, China (December 2016), Andrey Filippov. Stock markets in the US are slowly building in the prospect of retaliation (a “trade war”) from China, as a result of President Trump’s new tariffs. We maintain our view that the stock market has been frothy for some time, and the recent volatility may just be the beginning of a reversion to normalized valuations, with or without concerns about global trade.
