Several subscribers recently asked about my favorite dividend growth stock of all time. Specifically, they asked which dividend stock I would own if I had to place all of my investment funds in one single stock. My answer is quite simple, as Johnson & Johnson (ticker: JNJ) is already the largest position in my portfolio. Today’s video explains why Johnson & Johnson is my favorite stock for dividends, complete with fundamental analysis.
Let’s Start With My Investing Video
Here’s What My Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) Video Is All About
I get started in today’s video with some high level thoughts. Why do I like this stock so much? It really comes down to some high level concepts including:
- Predictability (and stability)
- Incredible margins (gross profit and operating)
- Population trends (aging US population and growing global population)
- More!
Next, I dive into my Johnson & Johnson fundamental stock analysis. Specifically, I discuss concepts including:
- Revenue Growth: I really enjoy how revenue is up 25% comparing 2007 and 2017. I also like how revenue tends to grow predictably on a year-by-year basis. It’s like clockwork.
- US versus international mix: International sales are getting close to representing 50% of this company’s mix.
- Incredible Margins: Gross profit is at 66.8% (wow!) and operating profit is at 23% (both from the 2017 annual report).
- Dividend growth: I invest for passive income and cash flow! I need to buy companies to put cash in my pocket, cash that can be used to pay the bills. Johnson & Johnson is a great example, as they’ve raised their dividend over 105% comparing 2017 to 2007.
Despite stellar fundamentals, it looks like Johnson & Johnson has a PE ratio in the 22.94 range right now (possibly a bit lower). (NOTE: I pulled this number when I originally filmed this video, back in April, 2018.) I backed into this number, since EPS is thrown off by one-time tax items. Certainly, the stock is priced for perfection, but it always seems to be! While I’m not buying this stock in 2018 (other than reinvesting dividends), I do want to buy more. I’m waiting for a correction, although I never expect a big one with this stock.
Of course, there are a few risk factors with JNJ. I close out discussing those potential risks:
- Patent expiration and the need to always innovate in their pharmaceutical division.
- Overall pricing of their products (the US health care system is broken).
