U.S. Dividend Watch List: May 8, 2020

Prior Year Watch List Review (May 10, 2019)

The best performing strategy from last year was low yield. While the S&P 500 rose +1.70%, the Dow lost -6.20%. Companies with low yield such as Rollins (ROL) and Becton Dickinson (BDX) rose +16% and +13%, respectively.

Interestingly, the high yield strategy would have set you back -41% with the majority of the losses driven from Occidental Petroleum (OXY) and Gap (GPS) which lost -73% and -67%, respectively.

May 10, 2019
Strategy High Low
Yield -41.0% -5.2%
P/E -7.9% -25.0%
Payout Ratio -14.9% -18.8%

U.S. Dividend Watch List May 8, 2020

What a strange time we are living in. The unemployment rate skyrocketed to level no one had seen before.

April 2020 Unemployment

Meanwhile, the market continued to crawl its way back, with the major indexes such as the S&P 500 hitting positive territory since last year. It’s difficult to determine if this rebound is for real but we continued to ask the question, is this situation more dire than the financial crisis where the market fell more than -50%?

Below are 10 companies on our watch list. Continue reading

The trend appears clear.  The only question is whether the peak in the price in 2016 is reflected in the peak in revenue and FFO in 2018.

What If: Texas Pacific Land Trust

What if Texas Pacific Land Trust (TPL) were to retain a dividend policy that was in place from 1982 to 2016?

This means that we took the dividend in 1982 and 2016, determined the compounded annual growth rate and applied it to Edson Gould’s Altimeter until 2020.  The outcome provides an alternative view to our prior work on the downside risk to TPL and supports the claim by a commenter on SeekingAlpha.com that TPL could decline to approximately $25.

How We Did it

  1. Obtained the dividend and price data from Yahoo!Finance.
  2. Deleted dividend payments that were inconsistent (i.e. extra/special payments).
  3. Calculated CAGR at MoneyChimp.com in the period from 1982 to 2016.
  4. Applied CAGR of TPL to Gould’s Altimeter.
