Dogs of the Dow theory.

[bar1080]

That is interesting. Just read that again.

[bar1080]

But again, a big chunk of it was spun off.

[bar1080]

But again, a big chunk of it was spun off.

[fung_derf]

It WAS a top growth stock for years....until 2 1/2 years ago.
I do see a potential for it to run again after the correction. But they made $10.95 per share in 2022 and estimating $7.78 for this year and $8.75 in 2024. Not exactly growth.

[bar1080]

I was referring to its tiny 0.39% dividend and the huge PE it once carried. It's been a top growth stock for years.

[fung_derf]

I still don't get $DHR. You say no one buys it for the dividend, but the chart for it has been awful.
In fact, just recently is the first time in 2 1/2 years that it gives a buy signal.

[bar1080]

This explains the DHR div and earnings cut.

"On February 8, 2023 DANAHER CORP announced that Veralto Corporation will be the name of a separate public company. The distribution (spinoff) ratio is approximately 1 Veralto Corporation share per 3 DANAHER CORP shares held. The distribution is payable on September 30, 2023".

So I presume the new total payout of DHR and VLTO will be about the same as the old one with just DHR alone.

BTW VLTO trades on the Nasdaq around $76 per share. I feel better.

[leftovers]

can't argue with that! Certainly seems like a great approach!

REVERSION TO THE MEAN
Within the S&P 500, the 50 worst performing
stocks in 2022 averaged a gain of 50.2%
in 2023, outperforming the index by 26
percentage points. Conversely, the 50 best
performing stocks of 2022 averaged a gain of
just 6.2% in 2023 and underperformed the
index by 18 percentage points.

[fung_derf]

Not that I disagree with the strategy, but I think you're going to have to be really patient. I'm looking at their 3 year earnings projections and it doesn't look great. I guess around $36 isn't unlikely though. Currently $25.50

I'm going with the dogs of the Dow theory here with WBA, Going to aggressively sell Puts until I get put the shares then take the shares.

Walgreens Boots Alliance: When Slashing The Dividend Is A Sign To Be Bullish

[fung_derf]

Looks to me like $DHR are cutting their earnings projections as well. It had a great run, but the last few years (and next couple) don't look all that great.
I bought $CCI recently for the dividend and possible breakout. It is teetering on the support line, and while I'm not as optimistic as I was a few weeks ago, I'm hanging on as it has the potential to run to $140 with a 5.5% dividend, I'll wait a bit.

[bar1080]

I had a rather shocking dividend cut recently. My Danaher Corp (DHR) slightly lowered its payout a few months ago. That killed the shares briefly but they have mostly recovered. Still have a nice profit in DHR. At 29X earnings no one buys the stock for income.

[fung_derf]

Yeah, WBA has gotten ugly. Even with reinvested shares, I'm down a decent chunk in it. Meanwhile, CVS is starting to run. Maybe dumping BCBS is the secret?

[leftovers]

seems about right since the stock has lost over 50% the last couple of years. The earnings were good
I don't think WBA is going anywhere just sold a couple puts for fun!

Walgreens Just Slashed Its Dividend. Stock Is Plunging

Walgreens shares initially jumped 2.4% in premarket trading following the announcement, but tumbled 11% as the regular session began. Adjusted earnings for the first quarter of Walgreens’ fiscal year, disclosed along with the news of the dividend cut, were 66 cents a share, beating the 62 cents a share consensus estimate among analysts tracked by FactSet, and down from $1.16 a share in the same quarter last year."

Deer is a good one here is MO: Altria Group has achieved its 54th consecutive year of dividend increase, demonstrating its commitment to increasing income for shareholders.

The company's dividend payout ratios are still in line with its previously stated policy of paying out 80% of earnings, indicating that it can continue paying its high dividend.

Altria's operating discipline, pricing power, and consistent dividend growth make it an attractive investment option for income-focused investors.

Absolutely I make 2-3 trades a week selling premium running 12-15 % again this year. I use about 5 different underlying dividend stocks. F has been great I sell a put and call spread close to the money sometimes it goes sideways, and I keep both sides of the premium I sold and sometimes one side is in the money and get assigned.

It's defiantly a wheel thing and I also collect dividends !
