In
the last days I was thinking about what share would I buy in
September. I am monitoring a lot of candidates, but I choose four
dividend paying companies.
Qualcomm
(QCOM) engages
in the development, design and provision of digital
telecommunications products and services.
It operates through the
following segments: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies (QCT), Qualcomm
Technology Licensing (QTL), and Qualcomm Strategic Initiatives (QSI).
Qualcomm pays out $2.28
dividend per share, and increased the dividend in the last 15 years,
with a ten year CAGR 16.50%.
The dividend yield of the company with the last closing price is
4.38%.
W.
W. Grainger (GWW) is
a distributor of maintance, repair and operating (MRO) supplies and
other related products and services. The company raised it's quaterly
dividend by 4.92% to $1.28 per share. This marked the 46th
consecutive annual increase for W. W. Grainger. Over the past decade
GWW has been able to boost annual dividends at a rate of 15.80% per
year. This was supported by an increase in earnings from
$4.94/share
in 2007 to $9.87/share
in 2016. The company has a sustainable dividend payment, and is
fairly valued at 15.40
times forward earnings, while yielding 3.20%.
Kroger
Company (KR) operates supermarkets, multi-department stores,
jewelry stores, pharmacies, fuel centers and convenience stores in
the United States. The company increased it's dividend in the last 12
years, with a ten year CAGR 16.50%. The dividend yield is 2.30% with
the Friday's closing price. ($21.74) The payout ratio is really low,
it's only 27.60%.
The
Walt Disney Co.
(DIS) is
a diversified international family entertainment and media
enterprise. It operates
through four business segments: Media Networks, Parks & Resorts,
Studio Entertainment and Consumer Products & Interactive Media.
The company increased it's
dividend in the last 7
years, and
the
ten year dividend growth rate
is 18.80%.
The dividend yield is 1.52%
with the Friday's closing price. ($102.41)
Generally I like companies
which have at least 10 years consecutive dividend increases but DIS
is an exception. It has powerful brand what doesn't need explanation
if you have a child.
Full
disclosure: Long KR.
