Nike’s Revenue to Face Pressure During First Half of Fiscal 2025
Image: Nike’s shares have faced considerable pressure from the beginning of 2022, and its outlook for the first half of fiscal 2025 wasn’t great. We’re huge fans of Nike’s consecutive dividend growth track record, but uncertainty regarding the future pace of sales growth in China, growing competition from the likes of Lululemon and Vuori, and macro-driven weakness expected in the first half of fiscal 2025 leave us on the sidelines for now. Shares yield ~1.5% at the time of this writing.

Pfizer 6% Dividend Yield Speaks of Considerable Risk, Free Cash Flow Coming Up Short
Image: Pfizer’s shares have been under considerable pressure the past few years. Though we are positive on Pfizer’s turnaround, its Dividend Cushion ratio of 0.3 is not to be taken lightly (any ratio below 1 indicates heightened risk of a dividend cut). Income-oriented investors seeking a turnaround story may be interested in Pfizer, but we’re staying on the sidelines. We’ll continue to monitor developments at the pharma giant, especially as patents on several of its major drugs approach expiration. Shares yield ~6% at the time of this writing.

Hasbro Is Down But Not Out, Shares Yield ~5.3%
Image: Hasbro’s shares have faced considerable pressure during the past few years. Hasbro's recently reported fourth-quarter results weren't great and showed revenue declining 23% as it experienced material weakness in its Consumer Products segment (-25%) and Entertainment division (-49%) in the quarter. On an adjusted basis, backing out large impairment charges, the firm’s operating loss came in at $50 million in the quarter, while it recorded adjusted net earnings of $0.38 per share. Hasbro continues to navigate a difficult demand environment for physical toys, but the company’s free cash flow remains robust and was in excess of cash dividends paid during 2023. Shares yield ~5.3% at the time of this writing.

Altria Selling Portion of ABI Stake, Raises 2024 Guidance
Image: Altria’s shares reacted positively to news that it would sell a portion of its stake in Anheuser-Busch Inbev. On March 14, Altria Group announced that it would be selling in a secondary offering 35 million of its ~197 million shares of Anheuser-Busch Inbev it owns to unlock value for shareholders. The cigarette maker noted that it would use the proceeds of the sale for accelerated share buybacks to the tune of a $2.4 billion increase to its existing $1 billion repurchase program, a move that we like quite a bit as it helps to reduce total dividend obligations paid to shareholders given Altria’s outsized dividend yield. The cigarette maker also raised its earnings guidance because of the sale, and we continue to like Altria as a high yield dividend income idea.

Dick’s Sporting Goods Soars, Raises Dividend 10%
Image: Dick’s Sporting Goods’ shares have soared since the doldrums of the COVID-19 meltdown. On March 14, Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio holding Dick’s Sporting Goods reported better-than-expected top and bottom-line performance for the fourth quarter and issued a solid outlook for fiscal 2024. Shares of Dick’s Sporting Goods have done fantastic since the worst of the COVID-19 meltdown years ago, and the momentum behind its business remains strong, as evidenced by a nice 10% increase in its quarterly dividend. We expect to raise our fair value estimate of Dick’s Sporting Goods upon our next valuation model update, and the company remains a key idea in the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio.

Oracle Hits Optimistic Note in Fiscal Third Quarter
Image Source: Peter Kaminski. Oracle posted solid third-quarter fiscal 2024 results, drove nice growth across its cloud business, set an all-time record with respect to Remaining Performance Obligations, and spoke very positively (“hypergrowth”) about its Gen2 Cloud Infrastructure business. Oracle has a large net debt position due in part to its purchase of Cerner, but free cash flow of ~$8.52 billion for the first nine months of its fiscal year showcased robustness and a nice improvement on a year-over-year basis, as both operating cash flow advanced while capital spending fell. We continue to like Oracle as an idea in the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio.
