Dividend Increases/Decreases for the Week Ending February 7
Let's take a look at companies that raised/lowered their dividend this week. Feb 6, 2020
What to Do with Tesla?
Image Shown: Tesla’s shares have surged during the past 7-8 months driven by a confluence of factors from fundamental improvements, a massive short squeeze, quantitative momentum traders and speculators anticipating its addition to larger indexes. We’re maintaining our view that shares of Tesla are overvalued, and investors need to be careful dabbling in these types of equities where price-agnostic trading is running wild. Feb 5, 2020
Alphabet Reports Earnings and Its Fundamentals Remain Stellar
Image Shown: Shares of Alphabet Inc Class C, a top weighted holding in our Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio, continued their upward climb in 2019 and maintained their stellar trajectory. On February 3, Alphabet reported fourth quarter and full year earnings for 2019. The firm’s bottom-line beat consensus estimates, but Alphabet’s top-line miss sent shares modestly lower the next day on Tuesday, February 4. We continue to like Alphabet’s Class C shares as a top weighted holding in our Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio with our fair value estimate sitting at $1,440 per share of GOOG (under our base case scenario) and the top end of our fair value estimate range sitting at $1,800 per share of GOOG (under our optimistic case scenario that’s still deemed reasonable, in our view).

Amazon Posts Blowout Earnings, Shares Back Near 2018 Highs
Image Shown: After reporting fourth quarter earnings for 2019, shares of Amazon Inc have returned to their 2018 highs as of this writing. On January 30, Amazon reported fourth-quarter earnings for 2019 that handily beat consensus expectations. Shares of AMZN are now trading back near their highs first reached in 2018. We like Amazon’s growth trajectory but don’t include Amazon in the newsletter portfolios due to the enormous uncertainty in the company’s key valuation drivers, which has a magnified impact on changes in its fair value estimate. That’s a product of its high operating leverage. Even a ~50 basis point difference in its expected gross margins versus its realized gross margins, for example, could have a profound impact on its intrinsic value and ultimately share price performance. Our fair value estimate sits at $1,972 per share of Amazon, and our fair value estimate range sits at $1,479-$2,465 per share. Feb 4, 2020
Visa Reports Earnings and Mildly Adjusts Guidance
Image Shown: Shares of top weighted holding in our Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio Visa Inc continues to outperform the S&P 500. On January 30, Visa reported earnings for the first quarter of its fiscal 2020 (period ended December 31, 2019). While shares sold off on the news, V has since recovered some lost ground and it’s important to keep in mind Visa is up ~42% over the past year as of this writing while the S&P 500 (SPY) was up just ~19% during this period. We continue to like Visa as a top weighted holding in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio and given the combination of the firm’s strong long-term technical and fundamental performance (on a historical basis) along with its bright outlook going forward, shares of V could test the upper end of our fair value estimate range which sits at $228 per share.

Our Reports on Stocks in the Dollar Store and Department Store Industries
The retail discount store industry provides consumable basic needs to customers primarily in the low- and middle-income brackets. More than one third of the industry’s customers live in households that earn less than $20,000 per year, making the group’s results counter-cyclical--as more households generate lower income due to poor economic conditions, store growth and same-store-sales opportunities increase. Still, competition is fierce among constituents and with many other retailers, including grocery stores. But given the niche low-price strategy of participants and their counter-cyclical nature, we like the group. The department store industry faces intense pressure from online retail and fierce competition from smaller retailers and discounters. Firms in the industry tend to have large real estate holdings and carry a diverse range of apparel, accessories, and household goods. With retail sales moving to the Internet, a company’s web presence is as important as its brick-and-mortar locations. The industry is undergoing a massive transformation and not all firms will survive. Brands and proper fashion assortment drive results in the short term, while execution remains key over the long haul. Jan 31, 2020
Coronavirus May Trigger Long-Anticipated Global Recession
Image: Wuhan New Coronavirus. This was the catalyst that nobody was expecting, a novel coronavirus that nobody had in their economic models. We think global economic activity is slowing as we speak, and the spread of the virus may only accelerate in mainland China and elsewhere. Investors should keep a level head and perhaps think about adding protection to their portfolios before it becomes too expensive. Jan 31, 2020
Microsoft Continues to Outperform After a Great Earnings Report
Image Source: Microsoft Corporation – Second Quarter Fiscal 2020 IR PowerPoint Presentation. We continue to be impressed with Microsoft’s fundamental performance, and that’s clearly being reflected in its technical performance as the market prices in an ever-optimistic outlook. It won’t be until Microsoft’s technicals turn against the company that we would consider removing shares of MSFT from the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. We like to let our winners run, within reason.
