BUY

Their report today was panned by shareholders, because raw costs have jumped in the last quarter. But P&G has some of the finest brands in the world, so they were able to pass on price increases to customers. P&G is the classic stock for today: they make things that are profitable and trades at a reasonable valuation.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Mar 25/21, Up 16.4%)Stockchase Research Editor: Michael O'Reilly Our PAST TOP PICK with PG has triggered its stop at $155. To remain disciplined, we recommend covering the position at this time.

HOLD

Recently outperforming. Current cost-reduction initiative, and he wonders what happens after that. 25x forward earnings for 6% growth. It's OK, but consumer staples names don't excite him, as we're mid-cycle. For defensive, try COST or healthcare. Not bad dividend at 2.2%.

DON'T BUY

Walmart vs. Procter & Gamble A difficult comparison. One is a consumer products company and the other is a pure retailer. 56% of Walmart's business is groceries, while P&G deals personal care products. Both are less growthy than in their early days. WM is trading around 22x PE and PG around 27x, both too high for him, based on their fundamentals and growth. Pass on both. Both produce a fair bit of cash. P&F pays a healthy dividend yield which attracts income investors. But there's a disconnect between valuations and growth prospects.

BUY

Russia fomenting a war with Ukraine will likely see oil prices explode higher, based on historic precedent. Industries and stocks that will rise if a war happens (and nobody wants one outside Russia) are oil, consumer staples, drug companies like Procter & Gamble or JNJ. Also defence stocks like Raytheon which reports tomorrow or Lockheed are buys.

misc consumer products

BUY

It reported organic growth up 6% while market share and relative sales growth impressed in today's report. It faces $2.8 billion in commodity freight and currency headwinds, but can pass those costs onto consumers. Shares rallied $5 today.

BUY

PG vs. UL Canadians can't ignore the Chinese and Indian markets. They do have political risk, but they will be delivering meaningful prosperity, so ignore that at your peril. PG had a very tough time after the global financial crisis. Still a great company and continues to do well, has outperformed UL. UL is going through changes, and these could lead to outperformance over PG. If you want safe and steady bond proxies, these are the types of companies you want to be thinking about.

BUY

They report Tuesday. Shares have been rallying since reporting organic growth that their peers lack. That said, he prefers JNJ.

misc consumer products

DON'T BUY

PG vs. JNJ JNJ valuation of 16-17x earnings is cheaper than PG. JNJ has 3 areas: medical devices, healthcare, pharma. PG is just consumer products, trading at 23x earnings. More opportunity in JNJ, with a caveat on the talc lawsuits. JNJ's medical device side should do well post-Covid. Dividends similar in the 2.5% range.

PARTIAL BUY

A solid buy that you buy over time, a piece at a time, and reinvest the dividends.

misc consumer products

DON'T BUY

They report Tuesday. They face tough comps vs. the stay-at-home numbers, and too much competition to pass higher costs to consumers.
