We like the progress that Verizon is making, but the company’s large net debt position is something that we’re not particularly fond of. Shares yield ~6.6% at the time of this writing.

We like P&G’s long consecutive dividend growth track record (68 consecutive years), and its pricing strength was firmly on display during its fiscal third quarter. The company continues to target adjusted free cash flow productivity of 90% (operating cash flow as a percentage of net earnings), while it plans to pay $9 billion in dividends and buy back $5-$6 billion in common shares in fiscal 2024. Shares of P&G yield ~2.6% at the time of this writing.

Image: Netflix still has a lot of room for growth.
From where we stand, Netflix has won the streaming wars. Nearly 270 million households across 190+ countries subscribe to its content, and with estimates that there are more than two people per household, management emphasized that it has an audience of more than a half a billion people. Netflix has further room for growth, too, as it notes that its share of TV viewing is less than 10% in every country. Management pointed to content such as the boxing match between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson, as well as live programming such as WWE Raw as a couple examples to keep audiences entertained. We like Netflix, but we can’t get comfortable adding it to any newsletter portfolio at this time.
