High-Yield, Deep-Value Kellogg Company Looks Tastier Than Ever 

Thomas Hughes

Kellogg Company (NYSE: K) has been on our radar the last few years because of pandemic tailwinds but, more importantly, the yield-to-value that it offers to investors. The company is a high-yield and deep-value relative to other consumer staples stocks and it is one that we see experiencing a price-multiple expansion over the next few years.

Don’t Buy Into Canopy Growth’s Earnings Outlook 

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) are up more than 16% after the release of FQ3 earnings but we aren’t buying into the rally, at least not yet. As much as we’d like to see this company make profits we’ve been here before, just when it seems like things are getting better they get worse again.

Thomas Hughes

Shares of XPO Logistics (NYSE: XPO) have been in a correction the last few months because of the headwinds facing the industry.

Thomas Hughes

If it seems like we like Simpson Manufacturing Co., Inc (NYSE: SSD) it’s because we do. The company is incredibly well run, is overdelivering on its promises, and poised to make what could be a very large capital return increase with the release of the next quarterly results.

Tyson Foods Flies To New Highs 

Thomas Hughes

Tyson Foods (NYSE: TSN) is being supported by higher pricing across all of its product lines but there is more to the story than that. While the company is experiencing double-digit price increases it is also working hard on internal efficiencies that are expected to save the company at least $1 billion within the next two years.

onsemi Bottoms, Institutional Activity Turns Bullish

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Onsemi (NASDAQ: ON) corrected more than 27% over the past few months for no good fundamental reason. No good fundamental reason for the company, that is, because there is a good fundamental aspect of the market that can account for the selloff and that is institutional selling.

Bottom Fishing For Johnson Outdoors 

Thomas Hughes

Johnson Outdoors (NASDAQ: JOUT) emerged as a pandemic winner early in the rebound and, unlike some others, the COVID-19 inspired tailwinds continue to blow. The problem for the company isn’t demand, because demand remains high in all segments, the problem is global supply chain issues that have it scrambling for materials and chip-requiring components for its core fishing line of products.

Shares of Ford (NYSE: F) are down in the wake of the Q4 earnings report and we are cheering the move. The decline has the stock trading at a 4-month low and levels almost too good to pass up with the long-term outlook for car sales and EV the way that it is.

Hershey Company Bubbles To New High 

Thomas Hughes

Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) is no bad investment but it is one of the higher-valued stocks in the consumer staples group. The stock trades at roughly 27X its forward earnings but you do get a lot for what you pay for. The Hershey Company is one of the best-established brands in the food industry at large, not to mention its place in the candy business, and it is a well-operated business on top of that.

Is It Time To Snap Up Some Snap-on?

Thomas Hughes

Shares of Snap-on Incorporated (NYSE: SNA) lost their luster in the second half of 2021 but those times may be over. After bobbing along at the $215 level for the last 8 months the company is presenting a deep-value/high-yield combination supported by revenue growth and widening margins in a world where growth and margin improvement is hard to come by.

Blue Chip W.W. Grainger Confirms Trend On Strong Outlook

Thomas Hughes

W.W. Grainger (NYSE: GWW) is a highly-valued stock but you get a lot for what you pay for. Trading at 25.5X its forward earnings estimate it is well above the broad market average but this is a blue-chip stock we’re talking about, and one that is not only growing revenue but widening margins, producing strong earnings, and guiding the outlook for 2022 well above the Marketbeat.com consensus estimates.

High-Yield, Deep-Value AbbVie Confirms Uptrend

Thomas Hughes

Shares of AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) fell in the wake of the Q4 results because the results were a little mixed in relation to the analyst's estimates. That dip resulted in a buy signal for the broader market, however, because mixed as they were, the results are strong, the outlook is positive, the dividend is safe, and AbbVie presents a deep value compared to the S&P 500.

Lennox International Shares Cool Off After Tepid Guidance 

Thomas Hughes

The question is not if Lennox (NYSE: LII) was able to produce growth but how badly was its business impacted by inflation, supply chain issues, and shipping disruptions? The company did not quantify those impacts but we can assume they easily run into the mid to high-single-digits if not more.
