Dividend Growth Still A Resilient Theme
Rising interest rates may pose headwinds to yield-sensitive dividend payers, but we think dividend growth investing remains a resilient theme. We’re big fans of the concept of yield-on-cost, but close attention to valuations, free cash flow generation and balance-sheet health will remain critical.

Let's take a look at companies that raised/lowered their dividend this week.

Amazon: The Destroyer of Other Companies’ Profits
Image Source: Victor. Amazon is stepping into the pharmacy business with the purchase of online pharmacy start-up PillPack. The market is implying the move will prove to be more than just a headache for those operating in the drug store/pharmacy and drug-distributor complex. Whether the impact will be significantly material in the coming years remains to be seen, but it’s a big directional negative for impacted parties.

Roche Continues to Underwhelm
We like cutting-edge, novel therapies as they have a transformative impact on a small to mid-cap biotech as years of revenue growth could be in the cards. While new therapies are the life-blood of the research field, the impact of a new novel therapy on the growth prospects of a large cap is often muted, however. Such is the fate of Roche as it struggles to replace its mainstay oncology division with new patent-protected entities.

Restaurant Traffic Down, Chipotle Still a Favorite Idea

General Electric Stripping Businesses, Dividend in Aggregate
Image source: GE investor presentation. Once a seemingly unshakable component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and one of the most-recognizable industrial firms in the world, General Electric announced further divestiture plans of its sprawling portfolio of businesses. More changes are in store for its dividend as well.

Eli Lilly Looks to Bolster Its Presence in Oncology
We are becoming increasingly impressed with Eli Lilly as the company boasts an enviable stable of new products that should power the company well into the next decade. Lilly is through the bulk of its patent trough, in our view, and its pipeline should set the company up for years of potentially uninterrupted revenue growth. Shares are not necessarily cheap, however.

Still Expecting Strong 2018 from Digital Realty
Image Source: DLR Investor Presentation. In April of this year, we added Digital Realty Trust to the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. We think its addition adds a nice boost to the overall dividend yield to the portfolio.

Owens & Minor: Dividend At Risk, But Shares Not Expensive
We’re fans of consistent dividend payers with strong free-cash-flow coverage and solid balance sheets, but we remain very skeptical of companies with a dividend that seems “too good to be true” as the eye-popping dividend is often a byproduct of an egregious drop in the price of the stock. We believe Owens & Minor is an example of an overleveraged, slow-growth entity that may have trouble maintaining its dividend in coming years. We value shares at $20 each, however, so the market may be overreacting a bit on the downside.

Internet Sales Taxes and Restructuring the U.S. Post Office
The Supreme Court has been active in creating revenue opportunities for states, as in legalizing sports betting and most recently in facilitating the collection of online sales taxes. The White House has floated the idea of reorganizing the U.S. Postal Service, but we think this endeavor represents more of a tail risk for Stamps.com than anything else. Though we expect smaller online retailers to feel some pressure as a result of the online sales tax ruling (Amazon already collects online sales taxes), we don’t think the ruling, while leveling the playing field for some brick-and-mortar retailers, will change the fate of many aging department stores such as J.C. Penney and Sears, both of which may not make it to the other side of the next downturn with shareholder capital intact.
