HOLD

This represents a defensive type of stock. Cigarettes have been challenged from an ethical standpoint for many years and people had expected a bigger impact on the price of the company. Nothing is going to change on the fundamentals for the next while. 4.8% dividend.

COMMENT

He does not like investing in companies that kill people directly. As an investment, he is amazed at how well cigarette companies can continue to do. The company is constantly profitable and has lawsuits all the time in many different countries yet they somehow manage to pay them and move on. Nice dividend payer. BV of about $2. If you strip out the goodwill, you end up with negative BV.

DON'T BUY

Successful story through 2010 and 2011. The old Philip Morris. Fine dividend. But less growth that Phillip Morris International and so he would prefer that.

COMMENT

This or Philip Morris (PM-N)? The old Philip Morris split itself into 2 parts including Altria, the US part and Philip Morris international, which is outside of the US. Dividend is higher in Altria but growth potential is less. Altria is currently outperforming because of its dividend, but at some point, that will change.

DON'T BUY

Domestic half of business. He prefers international (PM) side of the operation. NA smoking habits are on the decline. They are trying to hook young Chinese. He doesn’t invest in these because of the moral decision.

TOP PICK

Cigarettes, 50% of market share. Can benefit from the improved litigation environment. Growth is not bad. 7% year over year growth and good dividend. His clients don’t stop him buying it for them just because it is cigarettes.

BUY

The whole tobacco cluster has done extremely well. It has growth, payout and sustainability. Loves the tobacco industry.

BUY

Likes this one. You get a very attractive dividend of 5.6% and probably a rising dividend over the next several years. Trading at a 13X PE with a decent growth rate. (See Top Picks.)

HOLD

Well run with sound management. They consistently reward their investors. Hold onto a small position for the dividend.

BUY

(Market Call Minute.) A great company. If you're comfortable with cigarettes and has a great yield. Good margins.

BUY

Incredibly well run company. Quite cheap at the present time. Great yield at over 7%. Very low capital expenditures. Tons of free cash flow. Growing internationally. You have to deal with the issue that if this is a tobacco company.

BUY

Nice company to own if you are looking for a consistent and stable yield. Yielding almost 7%. Payout ratio is not too exorbitant so dividend should be safe.

WEAK BUY

Safe, slow growth and paying out of a lot of their earnings as dividends. Reinvesting some dividends into greater growth areas but are limited in growth going forward. Valuation is cheap because of low growth. 7.2% yield.

BUY

If you own this one, it is for the dividend, which has always been large. Cash cow. 7.1% yield.

BUY

You have people that are dependent on cigarettes and cigars. As a dividend play it could continue, but they have a high debt load. He’s not that keen on investing in a company that kills people but it’s hard to ignore the constant demand for the product.
