I just bought a brand new stock in my dividend portfolio. This is the first net new position I have opened in a while, and it's a household brand name. It's also a dividend stock that's "on sale" right now. With a starting dividend yield of 4.36% and a PE ratio of 14.6, I just had to initiate a position in General Mills (GIS).
The maker of Cheerios, Haagen-Dazs, and Annies, General Mills just announced a huge acquisition of pet food maker Blue Buffalo. Also, they warned that EPS growth would be short of analyst expectations in fiscal 2018. The stock has dropped in price, creating an attractive value in my opinion (for long-term dividend growth investors). Today's video is a fundamental analysis of General Mills stock, and why this dividend growth investor likes it so much!
In particular, today's video covers:
* Why I like consumer non-cyclical stocks for my dividend stock portfolio.
* Why I like stocks that make household brands. (I like to invest Peter Lynch style.)
* Why a starting yield of 4.36% is very strong in this market, for this type of company.
* My hypothesis as to why General Mills has been trending down in price, and why it's "overdone" in my humble opinion.
* My extensive fundamental analysis including metrics like: price history, revenue, profit, earnings per share (EPS), PE ratio, operating margin, dividend history, payout ratio, debt level, and more!
* At the end of the day, General Mills is facing some challenges (not too dissimilar from other consumer non-cyclical stocks. Perhaps the challenges are a bit more pronounced with GIS, on the revenue growth side and profit side. That said, as a long-term investor with decades upon decades ahead, I am willing to wait! I like a good buying opportunity, and am placing my capital behind General Mills.
More than anything, I feel strong about the starting dividend yield, and possibility for dividend growth ahead. While dividend growth may be slow (or even non-existent) in the next few years, I think it will be fabulous in the long-term. After all, General Mills has been paying a dividend for 118 years, according to their Annual Report (10-K). And, I'm willing to wait for massive growth because the starting yield is so attractive.
