The Panic-Proof Portfolio (Stockchase Research) Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. HVT-N TOP PICK Dec 15, 2020

Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly HVT manufactures residential furniture and mattress products under the Sealy, Serty and Beautyrest brand names. The pandemic has slowed sales, but has seen earnings grow over 200% in the past quarter. The company recently provided guidance for Q4 that exceeds analyst expectations. The dividend is decent and is backed by a payout ratio of only 35% of cash flow. We would trade this with a $23 stop-loss, looking to achieve $36 -- upside of over 33%. Yield 3.41% (Analysts’ price target is $36.00)
$26.860
