Dividend Increases/Decreases for the Week Ending December 22
Let's take a look at companies raising/lowering their dividends this week. Dec 22, 2017
Boeing’s Big Dividend Hike; Potential Deal with Embraer
Image Source: Boeing. We love Boeing. The company has been one of our favorites for years, but its performance during 2017 has simply been amazing. The dividend growth giant upped its payout in a big way recently, too, even as it is reportedly pursuing merger discussions with Embraer. Dec 20, 2017
Dividends: Costco and Walmart
Image Source: Fiscal Year 2017 Annual Report. The retail sector is undergoing a revolutionary change to its traditional business model of delivering value to customers in a brick-and-mortar format with a tepid nod towards an e-commerce platform. There will inevitably be winners and losers from such a massive paradigm shift to online, but we think Costco and Walmart will be able to adapt effectively, while delivering a tidy dividend to boot. We do not believe Amazon will rule the world. Dec 19, 2017
Video: Quants! You're NOT Measuring VALUE and Nelson's Theory of Universal Value
President of Investment Research Brian Nelson defines the concept of universal value and shows how quantitative statistical methods are inextricably linked to those of fundamental, financial, business-model related analysis. Value does not exist in respective process vacuums! Value is universal. Find out why. Running time: ~10 minutes. Dec 19, 2017
Homebuilder Optimism Rises to Decades-Long Highs; Valuations Similarly High
Image shown: The iShares US Home Construction ETF’s (ITB) share price performance since the beginning of 2017. Shares are up more than 55% year-to-date (2017). The Housing Market Index, which is based on a monthly survey of National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) members, posted a higher than expected jump in the most recent release of the monthly survey-based index, and homebuilders are nearly as optimistic as they have been at any point in the past two decades.

Comment: Verint's Traditional Free Cash Flow
Image shown: Page 1 of 16, Valuentum's 16-page stock report on Verint (VRNT). Verint is free cash flow positive, implying that non-GAAP earnings adjustments are of high quality. Dec 12, 2017
CVS Health at the Crossroads, Too Much Debt
Image Source: CVS Health. We have been disappointed with the lack progress displayed by CVS Health thus far in 2017. We knew the business was entering into an earnings trough as a result of key contract losses, but recent events have unfolded that, in our view, have lessened the attractiveness of its business model, to a meaningful degree. Let’s talk more about what’s happening at CVS Health, the changing PBM market, Amazon’s threat, and too much leverage. We’re not overreacting, but we’re not happy either. Dec 11, 2017
Omega Healthcare and Holly Energy Partners: Case Studies in REIT and MLP Income Evaluation
Image shown: The performance of the Vanguard REIT ETF (VNQ) during the Financial Crisis in 2007-2009. An assessment of a REIT’s or MLP’s dividend/distribution strength not only should reflect firm-specific fundamentals, but also external market conditions, which are paramount to the sustainability of most any REIT’s or MLP’s payout. Let’s remind readers of this important dynamic, which is captured via the two different Dividend Cushion ratios, and walk through what goes into the analysis we pursue when making a change with respect to our assessment of a company’s dividend health or safety.
