He looked at this 18 months ago. Growth isn't good enough for him, though their results have improved. In this space, consider Richard Packaging, which he owns and offers high returns but is not know well.
When the facts change, you have to change your mind. He sold. A value, turnaround story. Pressure from commodity prices. Earnings recovery is not a 2022 story.
On the surface, trades cheaply. Compelling dividend. Problem is sun-setting business in printing, and that cash cow is shrinking faster than growth of other divisions. Earnings peaked in 2018. Era of steady dividend grower is over. Dividend at risk if can't restore profitability. Value trap. Better places to invest.
Trevor Rose’s Insights - Trevor’s most-liked answers from 5i Research. We think TCL.A continues to have potential as it transitions its print business into digital media operations and through acquisitions. However, given the lack of growth we have seen over the years and the slow growth expected, we think there are other names today that can pay a similar yield, while showing better growth. This is in part due to the market sell-off, which has resulted in many quality names having higher dividend yields. We view the recent rally in TCL.A shares as an opportunity to sell and raise cash for future opportunities.
Longer-term downtrend, the opposite of what the market's a doing in a negative way. It's a big sign that something is not moving in the right direction. Be cautious.
It is in a downtrend with a series of lower highs and lower lows. It needs to stop this trend and move sideways. You should look at highs and lows on a weekly chart.
Not interested. Cheap for a reason. De-risked balance sheet, compelling dividend, seemingly low valuation. Not in fast-growing industries. Publishing's in secular decline. Packaging has had tepid growth.
