General Electric Stripping Businesses, Dividend in Aggregate
Image source: GE investor presentation. Once a seemingly unshakable component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average and one of the most-recognizable industrial firms in the world, General Electric announced further divestiture plans of its sprawling portfolio of businesses. More changes are in store for its dividend as well.

Eli Lilly Looks to Bolster Its Presence in Oncology
We are becoming increasingly impressed with Eli Lilly as the company boasts an enviable stable of new products that should power the company well into the next decade. Lilly is through the bulk of its patent trough, in our view, and its pipeline should set the company up for years of potentially uninterrupted revenue growth. Shares are not necessarily cheap, however.

Still Expecting Strong 2018 from Digital Realty
Image Source: DLR Investor Presentation. In April of this year, we added Digital Realty Trust to the simulated Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. We think its addition adds a nice boost to the overall dividend yield to the portfolio.

Owens & Minor: Dividend At Risk, But Shares Not Expensive
We’re fans of consistent dividend payers with strong free-cash-flow coverage and solid balance sheets, but we remain very skeptical of companies with a dividend that seems “too good to be true” as the eye-popping dividend is often a byproduct of an egregious drop in the price of the stock. We believe Owens & Minor is an example of an overleveraged, slow-growth entity that may have trouble maintaining its dividend in coming years. We value shares at $20 each, however, so the market may be overreacting a bit on the downside.

Internet Sales Taxes and Restructuring the U.S. Post Office
The Supreme Court has been active in creating revenue opportunities for states, as in legalizing sports betting and most recently in facilitating the collection of online sales taxes. The White House has floated the idea of reorganizing the U.S. Postal Service, but we think this endeavor represents more of a tail risk for Stamps.com than anything else. Though we expect smaller online retailers to feel some pressure as a result of the online sales tax ruling (Amazon already collects online sales taxes), we don’t think the ruling, while leveling the playing field for some brick-and-mortar retailers, will change the fate of many aging department stores such as J.C. Penney and Sears, both of which may not make it to the other side of the next downturn with shareholder capital intact.

PayPal Hits New Highs!
We continue to watch PayPal as it has been a fantastic idea in the simulated Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio since it split from eBay. Rivalries are intensifying in the digital payments space and the company will have to replace lost business with eBay in coming years, but we still like the idea. We also view Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as more an opportunity than a threat for many digital payment providers.

Oracle’s Dividend Still Very Healthy
Image Source: May Wong. Oracle issued what is likely conservative fiscal first-quarter 2019 guidance, but the company continues to generate record amounts of operating cash flow and has a solid net cash position on the books. We’re not worried about the dividend.

In the News: Facebook, General Electric, GameStop
We continue to love Facebook’s valuation opportunity, and the company has registered a 10 on the Valuentum Buying Index. General Electric’s stock price continues to swoon, and we couldn’t have called it better. We used the mosaic theory to anticipate private-equity interest in GameStop. Not a bad trio of calls, no?
