Saying Good Bye to Boeing…For Now
There probably hasn’t been a better large-cap call in the Dow Jones Industrial Average than Boeing during the past couple years, and we have been all over it. But shares have now “rolled over,” and its valuation isn’t as attractive as it once was, both dynamics pointing to reasons for removal from the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. We continue to peruse our coverage universe for an adequate dividend growth replacement.

Dollar General: A Model of Consistency
Dollar General’s fiscal 2017 marked its 28th consecutive year of positive same-store sales growth, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the consistency of its operational performance in the past three decades, as well as its share price performance since its addition to the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio.

Nearly 60 Distribution Cuts Later, We Maintain Our View on the Hazards of the MLP Business Model
Image Source: Brian Cantoni. Valuentum has been highlighting the inherent risks associated with the master limited partnership (MLP) structure for some time now, but we are not alone in acknowledging the limited sustainability of such structures. Internal simplification transactions may only become more common moving forward as management teams seek to optimize the structure of their entities.

Cigna, Express, and the Unwinding of the PBM Market
Image Source: Cigna. Given its track record of creative destruction, when Amazon plans to enter a particular line of business, it presents an ominous threat to incumbents. What is often overlooked, too, is that Amazon is more than willing to try new verticals—if they prove promising, additional assets will be devoted to the new line of business, often with fawning media coverage. If Amazon is unsuccessful in its endeavor, however, then it seems as though it will “fail fast” and shut down the project and move on. We found the recent announcement of a joint venture to tackle the healthcare industry as particularly noteworthy.

Our Ideas Are Performing Awesome So Far in 2018!!! 6 of the Top 7 of the Dow!
We’ve done a fantastic job identifying some of the top performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average during 2018 (6 of the top 7!), but to be fair, a couple haven’t panned out that well either. In any case, we couldn’t be more pleased with the simulated newsletter portfolio ideas.

Don’t Just Look at the House; Examine the Foundation

Toys ‘R’ Us Liquidation News Transient to Toy Makers
Image Source: Hasbro. Another icon from past decades announced that it may have to liquidate. Though we expect the toy makers to experience a transient impact, we don’t expect it to be lasting. Digital entertainment and licensing remains a faster-growing, higher-margin business for them than physical toy sales, and we expect the focus for many toy makers going forward will be on the former, particularly given Disney’s Frozen success.

Dividend Growth: The SPDR Dividend ETF Is One of Many Ideas
The dividend is a symptom of a company’s free cash flow, and therefore not a driver behind an estimate of a company’s intrinsic value. Dividend-paying and dividend-growing stocks have done very well in the past, but it may be equally important to pay attention to the underlying valuations of ideas, too. You just can’t stop at analyzing the dividend payment. Don’t let the “yield” tail wag the “value” dog.
