How Some Members Use Valuentum’s Investment Services
We serve a wide variety of investors, including dividend growth investors, value investors, and pure Valuentum investors, among others. Many different types of investors and professionals use our research and financial analysis in a whole host of applications from individual stock-selection to the evaluation of closed-end funds to an overlay in a money-management setting and beyond. The Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio seeks to find stocks that have good value and good momentum characteristics and typically targets capital appreciation potential over a longer-term horizon. The Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio seeks to find underpriced dividend growth gems that generate strong levels of free cash flow and have pristine, fortress balance sheets, translating into excellent Valuentum Dividend Cushion ratios. The High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio seeks to find some of the highest-yielding stocks supported by strong credit profiles and solid business models, but not always robust traditional free cash flow. Ideas in this newsletter offer higher-yielding opportunities, but also much higher capital and income risk. We also offer a full suite of products to financial advisers (gold level) that range from a more extensive Excel-based screening tool (the DataScreener) to 'Ideas' and 'Dividend' publications that are released on a quarterly basis. Our research product includes hundreds of stock reports, fair values, fair value ranges, associated commentary, as well as dividend reports with Valuentum Dividend Cushion ratios and expected dividend growth rates. Silver and gold-level members can add the Valuentum Exclusive or additional options commentary/ideas to their plans. The Exclusive publication is a part of the institutional (platinum) level membership.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.

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.

Korn Ferry Beats Expectations in Second Quarter
Image: Korn Ferry’s shares still look cheap by our estimates. 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.

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.
