Closing Position

This week we decided to pull the trigger and close out our 2 positions in non-dividend paying companies KNF and WBD. Both positions were established when we received shares as part of their spin-offs from their parent companies, MDU and T. We decided to hold on to the shares, initially, in the hopes that the companies might initiate paying a dividend. However, since neither company has given signs that they might initiate dividend payouts in the near future, we decided to go ahead and sell all our shares this week. The proceeds from the sales will be re-invested as part of our regular capital allocations as outlined in our strategy.

Decrease in Estimated Annual Dividend

In the past week the Estimated Annual Dividend for the FiveTwenty portfolio decreased from the preceding week. The decrease was caused by MDU adjusting its quarterly dividend payout down following the spinoff off its KNF subsidiary.

What does this mean for our position in MDU? At this time the FWD dividend yield of MDU stands at 2.38% and a payout ratio of about 66%. Furthermore, the board has set expectations for the future payout ratio to remain between 60% to 70%. These number are close to the targets outlined in our investment strategy, and therefore, we will continue to hold our position in MDU.
