Valuentum Commentary

Lockheed’s Shares Still Not Cheap
Image shown: "Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Lightning II test aircraft AA-1 undergoes flight testing over Fort Worth, Texas (source)." We liked Lockheed Martin’s first-quarter 2018 report, and we liked even more that the company raised its full-year outlook for revenue, operating income and earnings per share. Operating cash flow performance was weighed down by pension contributions and backlog didn’t advance in the period, but the backdrop for defense spending remains healthy given ongoing geopolitical tensions. Shares of Lockheed aren’t cheap, however. Apr 24, 2018
United Tech Ups Guidance; Outlook Bodes Well For Aerospace Supply Chain
Image Source: hj_west. We think activist pressure on United Technologies is unwarranted, and we were highly encouraged by the company’s execution during the first quarter of 2018. Performance at Pratt & Whitney and UTC Aerospace Systems bodes well for the aerospace supply chain. Apr 18, 2018

Dividend Growth Portfolio: Adding Two New Gems
We’re making some moves in the Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio today. Apr 3, 2018
Alert: Dropping P&G; Also -- Intel's Dividend Hike; General Motors Puts Up Strong March Sales
We were reminded of some good news from Intel and General Motors today, but the time has come to part with Procter & Gamble. We may have included it in the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio too long. Mar 22, 2018
Trump Targets China with Tariffs
Image: Shanghai, China (December 2016), Andrey Filippov. Stock markets in the US are slowly building in the prospect of retaliation (a “trade war”) from China, as a result of President Trump’s new tariffs. We maintain our view that the stock market has been frothy for some time, and the recent volatility may just be the beginning of a reversion to normalized valuations, with or without concerns about global trade.

Avoiding Troubled Equities Such as General Electric
The Valuentum process waits for a stock’s price to be moving higher before it is considered. The stock must not only be undervalued on both a discounted cash-flow basis and relative value basis, in our view, but the market must also believe that its true intrinsic value should be higher, too, as evidenced by a rising share price. The process is symmetrical. We also would wait for a company’s share price to break down before we may consider removing an overpriced stock. In some cases, the information contained in prices can even provide clues when to remove an underpriced stock, as in the case of General Electric. Mar 16, 2018
Saying Good Bye to Boeing…For Now
There probably hasn’t been a better large-cap call in the Dow Jones Industrial Average than Boeing during the past couple years, and we have been all over it. But shares have now “rolled over,” and its valuation isn’t as attractive as it once was, both dynamics pointing to reasons for removal from the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. We continue to peruse our coverage universe for an adequate dividend growth replacement. Mar 13, 2018
Our Ideas Are Performing Awesome So Far in 2018!!! 6 of the Top 7 of the Dow!
We’ve done a fantastic job identifying some of the top performers in the Dow Jones Industrial Average during 2018 (6 of the top 7!), but to be fair, a couple haven’t panned out that well either. In any case, we couldn’t be more pleased with the simulated newsletter portfolio ideas. Mar 12, 2018
The "Luck" and "Randomness" of Index Funds
If the year-to-year performance of active funds relative to index funds can be considered “random,” so then is the year-to-year performance of index funds relative to active funds, regardless of fees and expenses.
