TOP PICK
Nov 09, 2021
Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Black Friday begins later this month and ecommerce sales will rise heading into Christmas, making this a seasonal opportunity to reiterate GPK, a paper and packaging giant, as a TOP PICK. Recent earnings beat analyst expectations by over 6% and revenues also beat estimates. It pays a reasonable dividend, backed by a payout ratio under 40% of cash flow. We recommend trailing up the stop (from $17.50) to $19.00, looking for upside to $24 -- potential of 17%. Yield 1.46% (Analysts’ price target is $23.69)

Already shipping for the upcoming Black Friday through Christmas season is expected to be at capacity. Recent earnings showed revenue growth that was double expectations of 3.5%. It pays a reasonable dividend, backed by a 69% payout ratio. We would trade this with a $12.75 stop-loss, looking for a return to previous highs near $17 (over 20% upside) -- Yield 2.19% (Analysts’ price target is $17.08)
