Visa Benefiting from “Stable Consumer Spending”
Image Source: Visa. On April 23, Visa reported fantastic second-quarter results for its fiscal 2024. We liked the firm's quarterly report and outlook, and we’re sticking with shares as a top idea in the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.

Lackluster Electric Vehicle Adoption Rates Impacting Tesla
Image Source: Tesla. On April 23, Tesla reported lower-than-expected first-quarter 2024 results as reduced vehicle prices weighed on performance. It should not be surprising to investors if Tesla’s vehicle volume growth rate is much lower in 2024 than it was in 2023.

Philip Morris Targeting Strong Adjusted Diluted EPS Growth
Image: Philip Morris’ stock has traded sideways for more than a year now. On April 23, Philip Morris reported solid first-quarter results that beat expectations on both the top and bottom lines. We like Philip Morris’ free cash flow generation and its focus on continuing toward becoming a smoke-free company.

PepsiCo Has Raised Dividends in Each of the Past 50+ Years
Image: Pepsi’s shares continue to be choppy, but we like its consecutive annual dividend growth streak. On April 23, PepsiCo reported solid first-quarter 2024 results that showed a beat on both the top and bottom lines. The beverage and snacks giant plans to return $8.2 billion in cash to shareholders during 2024, with dividends accounting for $7.2 billion and share buybacks the balance. We love PepsiCo’s consecutive annual dividend growth streak, and the firm continues to deliver where it counts.

Lockheed Martin’s Robust Backlog Speaks of Sustainable Strength
Image: Shares of Lockheed have been choppy, but its fundamentals remain strong. On April 23, Lockheed Martin reported better-than-expected first quarter 2024 results. The company's total backlog of ~$159.4 billion speaks to sustainable strength in its operations, and we continue to like shares.

Verizon Is a Cash-Generating Machine But Its Debt Load Is Worth Watching
Image Source: Verizon. We like the progress that Verizon is making, but the company’s large net debt position is something that we’re not particularly fond of. Shares yield ~6.6% at the time of this writing.

Procter & Gamble Raises Core EPS Guidance
Image Source: P&G Q3 Earnings Presentation. We like P&G’s long consecutive dividend growth track record (68 consecutive years), and its pricing strength was firmly on display during its fiscal third quarter. The company continues to target adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% (operating cash flow as a percentage of net earnings), while it plans to pay $9 billion in dividends and buy back $5-$6 billion in common shares in fiscal 2024. Shares of P&G yield ~2.6% at the time of this writing.

Netflix to Stop Reporting Membership Numbers Starting Next Year
Image: Netflix still has a lot of room for growth. From where we stand, Netflix has won the streaming wars. Nearly 270 million households across 190+ countries subscribe to its content, and with estimates that there are more than two people per household, management emphasized that it has an audience of more than a half a billion people. Netflix has further room for growth, too, as it notes that its share of TV viewing is less than 10% in every country. Management pointed to content such as the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, as well as live programming such as WWE Raw as a couple examples to keep audiences entertained. We like Netflix, but we can’t get comfortable adding it to any newsletter portfolio at this time.

Kinder Morgan Issues Strong Outlook; Adjusts Leverage Target
Image: Kinder Morgan’s shares have been choppy during the past couple years. We liked the 2024 outlook for Kinder Morgan, one of the largest energy infrastructure companies in North America. The company benefits from fee-based cash flows backed by multi-year contracts, and the firm is doing a much better job managing traditional free cash flow and its leverage. In its latest quarterly release, management adjusted lower its long-term leverage target to the range of 3.5x to 4.5x for net-debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA (was 4.5x previously). Shares yield 6.3% on a forward estimated basis.

Taiwan Semi Puts Up Strong First Quarter, Gives Cautious Outlook
Image: Taiwan Semiconductor’s shares have rallied considerably since the October 2022 bottom. Taiwan Semiconductor put up decent first quarter 2024 results, and its outlook for the second quarter of the year was healthy, albeit not as strong as some investors might have liked. We like its pure-play foundry business, and while there was some cautious commentary on the conference call, we’re sticking with Taiwan Semiconductor as an idea in the ESG Newsletter portfolio.
