Looking to the full year 2024, Colgate-Palmolive expects its net sales growth to come in the range of 1%-4%, and that includes a modest headwind from foreign exchange. Organic revenue growth is expected to be in its targeted range of 3%-5% for the year, and management expects gross margin expansion and a double-digit earnings-per-share increase on a GAAP basis. On a base business basis, the company is anticipating a mid- to high-single digit earnings per share increase. All things considered, we liked Colgate-Palmolive’s fourth quarter results, and the firm’s ~2.2% forward estimated dividend yield isn’t too shabby.

Looking ahead to 2024, Mondelez expects organic net revenue growth of 3%-5%, high-single-digit adjusted earnings per share on a constant currency basis, and the company is looking to haul in free cash flow greater than $3.5 billion. The organic revenue growth outlook for 2024 is meaningfully below the 14.7% mark it put up in 2023, with management pointing to geopolitical uncertainty as the cause. Nonetheless, we’re huge fans of Mondelez’s collection of valuable brands, and its ~2.4% dividend yield is worth a look.

Broadcom recently reported better than expected first-quarter results for fiscal 2024. During the quarter, the company generated cash flow from operations of $4.8 billion and spent just $122 million in capital equipment, translating into tremendous free cash flow generation, well in excess of the $2.4 billion it paid in dividends in the quarter. We see Broadcom as a key beneficiary of AI investment and are keeping a close eye on the firm.
