A dividend pick for 2025. Is down a lot from their highs. A contrarian play. It pays around a 5% dividend yield. It trades at a reasonable valuation and offers decent earnings growth in 2025 of 5-7%. Collect the dividend and enjoy a little capital appreciation on top. You won't shoot the lights out, but you can relax with this steady earner.
Transport stocks in general have been weak. One of the weakest stocks in the sector. Execution problems. He's the last guy to try to pick a bottom. Yield is 7%, without huge coverage. Doesn't expect dividend cut, but doesn't inspire confidence when entire earnings go to pay the dividend. Stay away.
You want to buy stocks when they're down. A deal at 10.5x PE with 11% growth. Don't have to jump in right now, but he'd sell puts ~$75.
Bad year, tariff uncertainty, high labour costs, elevated capex, high debt. Market didn't like reduction in business with AMZN, but it's a low-margin business. E-commerce continues to grow, looking to expand in Mexico. Thinks earnings will inflect this year. Loves the dividend of 7%.
