Manpower Group’s Massive Free Cash Flow Yield Facing Some Pressures; Shares Have Dividend Yield of ~3%
Image: Manpower Group is a tremendous generator of free cash flow, though performance can be lumpy at times. Image Source: Manpower Group. Manpower Group has been acquisitive and is facing increased competition of late, but the company’s financials, particularly its free cash flow generation, remain quite attractive. The firm continues to buy back stock at a nice clip, too, as it pays its attractive semi-annual dividend of $1.36 per share. Though its free cash flow yield will face some pressure using pending 2022 results, Manpower Group could be an idea for investors seeking equities with outsized free cash flow yields in this market, in our view. We expect to fine-tune our assumptions within our discounted cash-flow model once the company’s fourth-quarter results are released in the coming weeks, but very few non-energy firms have such a strong normalized free cash flow yield as that of Manpower Group.

5 Top Stock Ideas for 2023!
With 2022 almost in the rear-view mirror, investors are expecting continued weakness into 2023. Millionaires are as bearish as they have been since the beginning of 2008, and we all know what happened during that year. Inflationary pressures coupled with substantially weakened consumer spending as a result of the collapse in the price of cryptocurrencies, traditional asset allocation models such as the 60/40 stock/bond portfolio, and ultra-high yielding stocks with payouts north of 9%-10% have most investors worried about what might be ahead in 2023. Still, investors have reason to be hopeful, in our view. The labor markets continue to hold up well, and the rate hikes that have pummeled equity, bond and real estate prices also act as future dry powder for the Fed to stimulate markets. At any time, the Fed can reverse its contractionary course. In 2023, we should start to see year-over-year increases in inflation slow, too. In this article, let’s talk our top 5 stock ideas for 2023!

Korn Ferry Beats Expectations in Second Quarter

Image Source: Korn Ferry. Businesses around the world are dealing with new challenges in a post COVID-19 world, and global consulting firm Korn Ferry is working hard to build solutions for them. We continue to include Korn Ferry as an idea in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio and remain huge fans of its enormous free cash flow generation and its pristine balance sheet that holds a material net cash position. We’re sticking with our $75 per-share fair value estimate, which implies upside potential to where shares are trading.

VBI Ratings Not as Impressive As We Would Have Liked in 2022
Image: How the VBI rating system has ranked equities so far this year. At Valuentum, we use the Valuentum Buying Index (VBI) to source ideas into diversified simulated newsletter portfolios, and the VBI may be most applicable to the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio, where we generally like to include ideas when they register a high VBI rating and remove them when they register a low VBI rating. We always use the VBI in a portfolio setting and never by itself. Let's talk more about the VBI rating system in this work.

Recent Fair Value Estimate Updates
Image Source: Valuentum. We’ve made a number of fair value estimate changes across our coverage universe as a result of what we expect to be substantial weakness in the global economy. Many of our fair value estimate adjustments have come in the consumer discretionary sector, but we have also made tweaks to the fair value estimates of companies in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Though 2022 has been a tough year, we’ve been steady at the wheel, calling the nearly unprecedented fall in the 60/40 stock/bond portfolio this year, the mid-teens percentage weakness in the SPY following the summer rally, all the while driving “outperformance” through the latest simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio update August 19. Another update will be forthcoming. This year has been tough, but it’s been a lot worse for asset allocators that missed out on the big bull market run in equities if they held a hefty allocation in bonds the past decade. Let’s keep our guards up as this market looks like it might get a lot worse before it gets better.

Korn Ferry’s Stock Helps Diversify Best Ideas Newsletter Portfolio
Image Shown: Within the realm of the global consulting industry, Korn Ferry’s revenues are well-diversified in terms of both the geographic markets and industries it caters to. We like shares of Korn Ferry as an idea in our Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio. Image Source: Korn Ferry – First Quarter of Fiscal 2023 IR Earnings Presentation. We continue to be big fans of Korn Ferry and view its growth outlook quite favorably. The company’s pivot towards digitally providing its services combined with its pristine balance sheet has resulted in a rock-solid business model that can withstand the various exogenous shocks seen of late, from inflationary pressures to supply chain hurdles to labor shortages to rising geopolitical tensions across the globe. Korn Ferry’s capital appreciation upside potential remains substantial, and while the stock is facing pressure following the report, we still like shares as an important diversifying presence in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.
