Lockheed’s Shares Still Not Cheap
Image shown: "Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Lightning II test aircraft AA-1 undergoes flight testing over Fort Worth, Texas (source)." We liked Lockheed Martin’s first-quarter 2018 report, and we liked even more that the company raised its full-year outlook for revenue, operating income and earnings per share. Operating cash flow performance was weighed down by pension contributions and backlog didn’t advance in the period, but the backdrop for defense spending remains healthy given ongoing geopolitical tensions. Shares of Lockheed aren’t cheap, however.

United Tech Ups Guidance; Outlook Bodes Well For Aerospace Supply Chain
Image Source: hj_west. We think activist pressure on United Technologies is unwarranted, and we were highly encouraged by the company’s execution during the first quarter of 2018. Performance at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems bodes well for the aerospace supply chain.

Coca-Cola’s Free Cash Flow Generation Could Be Better
Coca-Cola reported messy first-quarter 2018 results, making an assessment of its underlying free-cash-flow generation paramount. Coverage of cash dividends with free cash flow generation has become rather tight in recent years, and the company’s net debt position isn’t exactly encouraging. Very few companies have the competitive advantages and dividend growth track record of this tried-and-true beverage giant, however.

Alphabet May Need to Clean Up Its Spending
Alphabet, the company formerly known as Google, put up decent first-quarter 2018 results with respect to the top line, but the company is facing a rising cost and capital-spending profile. The first quarter could have been a lot better, in our opinion.

Market Not Overreacting to Hasbro’s Miss; Shares Up
Toy giant Hasbro turned in a poor first-quarter report April 23, but the market is not overreacting as the issues weighing on its performance are largely transient, in our view.

Incyte’s Ongoing Disappointments and Ultragenyx’s Exciting Development
Image shown: Ultragenyx's promising pipeline of opportunities. Ultragenyx March 2018 Presentation. The pharma/biotech sector, unlike other mainline industries, is driven by the clinical data readouts on the next-gen molecules in the clinical pipeline. We have witnessed many exaggerated moves with an often-binary outcome on the smaller single molecule entities, but we also have witnessed a negligible impact on the broader, more-diverse industry behemoths. We wanted to touch on a few recent data readouts to illustrate the volatile, risky yet potentially lucrative nature of the industry.

General Electric Gets a Boost; Honeywell Hikes Guidance
Image Source: Jeff Turner. General Electric continues to struggle, but its first quarter earnings report came in better than expected as demand across many of its business was positive. We still have no interest in shares. Meanwhile, Honeywell continues to power ahead as it raised its top- and bottom-line guidance for the full year 2018, reflecting a similarly positive demand profile.

Reiterating Our Positive View on Apple
We continue to include Apple in both newsletter portfolios. Very few companies have the balance-sheet strength and free-cash-flow generation that Apple does.

Procter & Gamble Pressured By Pricing
Image Source: MrTinDC. Recently transformed consumer staples giant Procter & Gamble’s fiscal 2018 third quarter report left a bit to be desired as pricing woes weighed on organic top-line performance. The company is also shifting its Consumer Health business as it has agreed to acquire Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany’s Consumer Health business.
