Industry representatives say that steadiness of FFO is more reflective of a REIT’s health. For the purposes of determining the future direction of the stock price, we prefer the wide variability of the net income figure. (data source)

Below are the Nasdaq 100 Watch List stocks for September 2020.
Below is a chart of ITC Limited (ITC.BO) from 1992 to 2020 reflecting the year-over-year (YoY) percentage change. This assessment reviews the probability of performance in the coming year(s).
We begin by reviewing the performance of last year’s list. The table below highlight various fundamental strategies and their performance using the top 5 companies.
Focusing on the worse performing group, high yield, we see that 5 highest yielding companies lost nearly half of their value. The largest drop of 78% was Alliance Resource Partners (ARLP). At the time of write up, Alliance was trading at $15.47 with dividend yield 14%, figure that appears too good to be true. The stock is now trading around $3.50.
Invesco (IVZ) was trading at $24.10 in 2018 and $15.70 in 2019. Dividend yield in 2019 was at 7.9%, however, that yield didn’t last as Invesco cut its dividend by half. Now the stock is around $10.75 and dipped as low as $6.38 in March of this year. The observation (and perhaps lesson) is to not chase the highest yield as that could be very costly to your portfolio.
On the opposite end of this strategy are low yielding stocks which gained 16.6% for the year. Leading the way for this strategy was Rollins (ROL) with yield of 1.3% at the time of publication. This yield isn’t anything to get excited about but a gain of 68% in one year certainly is.
Second on the performance list is Quaker Chemical (KWR) with yield of 0.9% last year. The stock gained 23% in one year.
If this appears to be counter intuitive to you, then it should. As value investors, we're taught to focus on low P/E, low P/B, or high yield. Our data indicate the opposite might be worth considering.

It was announced that Warren Buffett has accumulated shares of Japanese brokerages.
As we’ve long stated, the secular trend in rates is up:
“A single rate increase by the Federal Reserve in no way makes for a trend. However, markets often lead the way and what initially seems “bizarre” is only a natural change in regime, a change that we haven’t seen since the early 1940’s (December 16, 2015.).”
“We’ve only included the point in the interest rate cycle that corresponds to the phase that we are entering, coming from an all-time low to an eventual all-time high (November 15, 2015.).”
“Investors anticipating a general rise in interest rates should feel some comfort in knowing that most manager(s) in the utility sector are ready for what is to come. Rising interest rates are not an automatic death sentence for utility stock prices or earnings. In fact, the early stages of rising interest rates may see utility stocks match or exceed the returns of non-interest rate sensitive stocks, on a total return basis. Only when the outlook is cloudy will it become difficult to offer projections that are in line with prior expectations (September 4, 2014.).”
We’ve also said that Japan outperforms under such conditions.
With this is mind, maybe this is what Buffett & Co. are seeing for the future of the secular trend and beyond.
