Procter & Gamble (PG) – The Greatest Dividend Stock

Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE: PG ) provides consumer packaged goods in the United States and internationally, and is a popular high yield dividend stock. The company operates in three global business units (GBUs): Beauty and Grooming, Health and Well-Being, and Household Care. The company is a dividend aristocrat which has increased distributions for 54 years in a row. One of the company's largest investors is no other than Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. Over the past decade this dividend stock has delivered an annualized total return of 7.50% to its shareholders. The company has managed to deliver an average increase in EPS of 14.50% per year since 2000. Analysts expect Procter & Gamble to earn $3.98 per share in 2011 and $4.37 per share in 2012. This would be a nice increase from the $3.53/share the company earned in 2010. Procter & Gamble is an example of the perfect dividend growth stock. It has strong brand recognition, solid competitive advantages as well as a diverse portfolio of products sold throughout the world. The company strives to generate cost savings, tries to grow through innovation and through acquisitions, while carefully managing the cash flow in order to pay dividends and buy back stock consistently. The company has the benefit of its large scale and sells a diverse number of products that have a broad geographic reach. The company has a consistent revenue stream and is targeting earnings per share growth in the high single to low double digits. The company's return on equity decreased sharply after the acquisition of Gillette in 2005. Rather than focus on absolute values for this indicator, I generally want to see at least a stable return on equity over time. The annual dividend payment in US dollars has increased by 10% per year since 2000. A 10% growth in distributions translates into the dividend payment doubling every seven years. If we look at historical data, going as far back as 1975, we see that Procter & Gamble has indeed managed to double its dividend every seven years on average. After decreasing steadily throughout the decade, the dividend payout ratio increased above 50%, mainly on low EPS growth during the 2007- 2009 recession. Based off forward FY 2010 EPS however, the dividend is adequately covered from earnings. A lower payout is always a plus, since it leaves room for consistent dividend growth minimizing the impact of short-term fluctuations in earnings. Currently, Procter & Gamble is attractively valued at 16 times earnings, yields 2.90% and has a sustainable dividend payout. I would continue monitoring the stock and will consider adding to a position in the stock on dips. Full Disclosure: Long in PG stock. For more information, visit DividendGrowthInvestor.com.

Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Plan Costs in 2011; Deductible and Donut Hole Notes Medicare Plans

dow2664
Negocioenlinea

Medicare Part D is a federal program that helps to subsidize the costs of prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries throughout the United States. Previous to this year, Medicare beneficiaries needed to enroll in a Part D plan between November 15th and December 31st of the calendar year, but this enrollment period is changed in 2011. The new enrollment period for 2011 will begin on October 15th, 2011 and last through December 7th, 2011. According to federal statistics, tens of millions of American citizens are enrolled in some type of Medicare Part D plan. Plans are based on need and are thus individualized. Primary costs of plans are dependent on the variables of a given situation. Medicare attempts to help Americans sort through these variables to determine costs via its Medicare Plan Finder online. One constant that will remain unchanged in 2011 for Medicare Part D plans is the deductible. The deductible can be as high as $310 annually but is not subject to all plans. This amount was the same in 2010, and 2011 is the first time in the history of the Part D plans that this deductible amount has not moved higher. Many are also concerned with “donut hole coverage.” The donut hole will close completely by 2020 Those that find themselves in the hole this year should see a discount of 50 percent for brand-name drugs and 7 percent for generic selections.
