Metodologia pentru acest portofoliu model imită stilul „All Cap Blend”, cu accent pe creșterea dividendelor. Acțiunile selectate câștigă un rating atractiv sau foarte atractiv, generează fluxuri de numerar libere (FCF) și câștiguri economice pozitive, oferă un randament curent al dividendelor > 1% și au un istoric de peste 5 ani de creștere consecutivă a dividendelor. Acest portofoliu model este conceput pentru investitorii care sunt mai concentrați pe aprecierea capitalului pe termen lung decât pe venitul curent, dar care totuși apreciază puterea dividendelor, în special a dividendelor în creștere.

Featured Stock for August: VF Corporation Inc

VF Corporation Inc (VFC) is the featured stock in August’s Safest Dividend Yields Model Portfolio.

VF Corporation has grown net operating profit after-tax (NOPAT) by 4% compounded annually over the past five years. VF Corporation’s NOPAT margin rose from 12% in fiscal 2017 (fiscal year end was 12/30/17) to 13% over the trailing twelve months (TTM). Rising NOPAT drives the company’s economic earnings from $583 million in fiscal 2017 to $692 million TTM.

VF Corporation has increased its regular dividend from $1.94/share in fiscal 2019 (fiscal year end was 3/30/19) to $1.98/share in fiscal 2022. The current quarterly dividend, when annualized, provides a 4.6% dividend yield.

VF Corporation’s free cash flow (FCF) exceeds its regular dividend payments. From fiscal 2019 to 2022, VF Corporation generated $3.3 billion (20% of current market cap) in FCF while paying $3.0 billion in dividends. Over the TTM, VF Corporation has generated $781 million in FCF and paid $775 million in dividends. See Figure 2.

Companiile cu FCF puternice oferă randamente de dividende de calitate superioară, deoarece firma are numerar pentru a-și susține dividendele. Dividendele de la companii cu FCF scăzut sau negativ nu pot fi de încredere, deoarece compania poate să nu poată susține plata dividendelor.

VFC Is Undervalued

At its current price of $44/share, VF Corporation has a price-to-economic book value (PEBV) ratio of 0.9. This ratio means the market expects VF Corporation’s NOPAT to permanently decline by 10%. This expectation seems overly pessimistic given that VF Corporation grew NOPAT by 7% compounded annually over the past two decades.

Even if VF Corporation’s NOPAT margin falls to 12% (five-year average vs. 13% over the TTM) and the company’s NOPAT grows by just 3% compounded annually over the next decade, the stock would be worth $60+/share today – a 36% upside. Vedeți matematica din spatele acestui scenariu DCF invers. În cazul în care NOPAT al companiei crește mai în concordanță cu ratele de creștere istorice, stocul are și mai mult avantaj.
