Valuentum Commentary
Mar 20, 2019
It Definitely Is a *Best* Ideas Newsletter!
Image shown: Valuentum migrated to a weighting range format for the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio ideas beginning in 2018. Mar 15, 2019
DG Newsletter Alert, Markets on a Roll! New Highs Coming?
Image shown: We notified members December 26 that we had moved the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio and Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio to a "fully invested" position, from a 30% and 20% cash "weighting" at the high end of the range, respectively. It doesn't look like the timing could have been much better. Mar 7, 2019
Valuentum's Stock and Data Screens and Screeners
Let’s go over where to find Valuentum’s stock and data screens and screeners. We believe our stock screeners are among the most robust when it comes to providing forward-looking data, and our data comes straight from our enterprise discounted cash flow models that we use to derive a company's fair value estimate.

Kraft-Heinz Blows Up, More Updates!
Image shown: The rating history of Kraft-Heinz (KHC). Valuentum members were warned in advance of this pricey equity in 2016/2017, and the VBI rating never advanced past 5 since then after registering a 1, the worst rating, on two separate occasions. Feb 14, 2019
Changes to the Newsletter Portfolios (Best Ideas & Dividend Growth)
Image shown: In our December 26 note to members, we moved the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter and simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio to "fully invested" from a cash "allocation" of 30% and 20%, respectively at the high end of the range. It has worked out wonderfully as we keep our finger on the put option trigger in case price-agnostic trading and heightened volatility rears its ugly ahead again, as it did in December 2018.

In The News: European Growth Concerns, Continued Weakness in Generic Pharma, Johnson & Johnson Enters Robotics Market
Let’s take a look at some of the top stories from February 13. Concerns over industrial production in Europe may present challenges to economic growth, generic pharma companies face material competition, and Johnson & Johnson gets into the robotics market. Jan 23, 2019
Consumer Staples Giants Fight Input Cost Inflation
Image source: Procter & Gamble fiscal second quarter presentation. Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark reported calendar fourth quarter earnings January 23, and both were able to deliver organic sales growth in the period. Commodity cost inflation and currency weakness are key headwinds to keep an eye on moving forward as they have weighed on margin performance, particularly at Kimberly-Clark as Procter & Gamble reported impressive productivity cost savings.

Consider Selling Discipline = Systematic, Forward-looking, Repeatable
Image shown: An illustration of Valuentum's call on Kinder Morgan during 2015. You can read about this in more detail in the Preface of Value Trap: Theory of Universal Valuation. For a consider-selling discipline to be successful, it must be systematic, forward-looking and repeatable. The Valuentum process worked equally well with General Electric during 2017 (image later in note). No changes to simulated newsletter portfolios. Jan 22, 2019
Johnson & Johnson Overcoming Pharma Pricing Pressure
Image Source: Johnson & Johnson fourth quarter presentation. Johnson & Johnson’s ‘Pharmaceutical’ segment continues to deliver top-line growth despite ongoing headwinds related to net price decreases in the US pharma space. The company remains one of our favorite dividend growth ideas as its higher-growth ‘Pharmaceutical’ segment is augmented by a solid ‘Consumer’ business and improving ‘Medical Devices’ business.
