Dividend Scorecard

The capital allocation for the week of 02/26/2023 to 03/04/2023 will be used to add to our position in PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ: PEP)

Decrease in Estimated Annual Dividend

This week the FiveTwenty portfolio once again saw the Estimated Annual Dividend decrease week over week. (Previous decrease) The decline was caused by INTC reducing its quarterly payout by 66% to $0.125 per share.

What does this mean for our position in INTC? The dividend reduction brings INTC’s forward yield down to 1.99% based on share price of $25.14 at close on 02/24/2023. The new yield is considerably below our desired target and given that INTC is facing some tough quarters going forward we will close out our position in INTC and re-invest the capital over the following 2-3 weeks.

PEP – Position Update

Since our last check-in on PEP in week 8 of 2023, there have been no new developments. The share price declined slightly from $176.28 to $175.95.

2023 Week 7: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ)

JNJ

Portfolio Update

The FiveTwenty portfolio received $16.38 in dividends in the past week. GD paid their quaterly dividend during the week.

Past Week Dividend$16.38
Current Quarter Dividend (Q1 2023)$542.57
LifeTime Dividend$8,651.01
Estimated Annual Dividend$8,184.81
Dividend Scorecard

The capital allocation for the week of 02/12/2023 to 02/18/2023 will be used to add to our position in Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).

Decrease in Estimated Annual Dividend

For the second time since the inception of the FiveTwenty portfolio the Estimated Annual Dividend decreased from the previous week. (Other instance) The decline was brought about by VFC reducing their quarterly dividend payout by 41% to $0.30 per share.

What does this mean for our position in VFC? The dividend reduction brings VFC’s forward yield down to about 4.57% based on a share price of $26.27 at close on 2/10/2023. The payout ratio based on estimated earnings for the next 4 quarters would be around 57%. Because VFC did not eliminate its dividend payout completely and we don’t believe that we can find another investment matching the yield without taking on additional risk, we will continue to hold on to our shares in VFC. We will keep close eye on developments for VFC and look for an opportunity to adjust our exposure to the company.

JNJ – Position Update

Since our last check-in on JNJ in week 6 of 2023, there have been no significant new developments. The share price declined 1.5% from $164.61 to $162.15 during that period.
