Opening Thoughts
- The State Of The Investment Universe -
One of the interesting things about investing is that you get to see it progress over time. Stories
unfold over years, rather than in a day. Some things stay constant, while others constantly change.
Often companies, markets, and valuations will experience significant ups and downs along the way.
With that in mind, we like to periodically check in on the state of the investment universe. The
table below summarizes the Sure Analysis Research Database at the end of each quarter dating
back to the end of 2019:
Date # of Securities Avg Yield Avg Valuation Avg Growth Avg ETR
12/31/19 616 3.8% -3.0% 5.7% 5.8%
3/31/20 625 6.8% 5.6% 5.5% 15.0%
6/30/20 620 5.4% -1.3% 5.6% 7.4%
9/30/20 623 5.0% -1.2% 5.1% 7.1%
12/31/20 654 3.4% -3.3% 4.8% 4.7%
3/31/21 673 3.2% -3.7% 4.8% 4.1%
6/30/21 689 3.3% -2.7% 4.8% 5.1%
9/30/21 740 3.4% -1.4% 4.6% 6.3%
12/31/21 754 3.4% -1.8% 4.6% 5.8%
3/31/22 760 3.4% -1.1% 4.7% 6.6%
6/30/22 824 4.1% 1.9% 4.3% 9.5%
9/30/22 842 4.5% 3.5% 4.2% 11.1%
12/31/22 857 4.3% 1.2% 4.2% 8.6%
3/31/23 871 4.2% 1.2% 4.5% 9.0%
6/30/23 870 4.1% 0.5% 4.6% 8.4%
The first item to highlight is that the number of securities we cover grows over time. The universe
has grown from 616 securities at the end of 2019 to 870 securities at the time of this writing.
Next is the average yield column. At present, the average yield in the database sits at 4.1%. This is
lower than the average yield available for most of 2020 and in the last year, but in-line with a
typical mark over the last three and a half years.
The average expected annualized valuation change for a security sits at 0.5% - the 6th highest mark
out of 15 datapoints. Notably, the expected contribution from this component has been negative in
over half of the observation periods.
The average expected growth rate sits at 4.6% - the highest it has been since early 2022.
Finally, the average expected annual total return for a security in the database is 8.4% - once again
the 6th highest mark out of 15 datapoints.
So where do we stand today? While valuations do not look as attractive as they did in March of
2020 or in the last year, there are still plenty of opportunities available.
In the Closing Thoughts we will look at the state of one this month’s Top 10 securities.

Newell Brands (NWL) Update
On May 16th, 2023, Newell Brands announced a reduction in its quarterly dividend from $0.23 to
$0.07. Newell’s press release said the following:
“Management continues to expect a strong rebound in Newell Brands’ cash flow performance in
2023 and remains confident about the cash flow generation potential of the business. The company
is deliberately resetting its capital allocation priorities and right-sizing the dividend to fund high-
return internal supply chain consolidation investment opportunities, while enabling faster de-
leveraging of the balance sheet and providing additional financial flexibility.
Today’s update to Newell Brands’ dividend policy is aligned with the broader strategy refresh and
management’s recommended capital allocation framework, with the dividend remaining an
important priority going forward.”
The dividend reduction did not come as a great shock. Before the dividend reduction, the company
had maintained an “F” Dividend Risk Score for more than 180 days. We did not issue a sell
recommendation on Newell because we believed the security to be undervalued. And that continues
to be the case today.
With a lower dividend, the company will have more cash to pay down debt, reducing interest
expense. And Newell Brands continues to focus on streamlining its business to reduce costs. The
company’s management is being proactive. The image below shows management’s expectations.

We believe the company can return to adjusted earnings-per-share of at least $1.56 over the next 5
years. This is likely to be on the low end of what’s possible, as the company had adjusted earnings-
per-share between $1.70 and $1.82 from 2019 through 2021.
At a modest P/E ratio of 10x, this implies a long-term fair value of $15.60 or higher. Shares are
currently trading under $9.00. As a result, we recommend investors hold Newell Brands until it
nears or exceeds its fair value.

Sonoco Products Co. (SON)
Overview & Current Events
Founded in 1899, Sonoco Products provides packaging, industrial products, and supply chain services
to its customers. The company’s end-markets include appliances, electronics, beverage, construction,
and food. Sonoco Products is composed of two business segments: Consumer Packaging and Industrial
Paper Packaging.
On April 19th, 2023, Sonoco Products raised its quarterly dividend 4.1% to $0.51, extending the
company’s dividend growth streak to 41 consecutive years.
On May 1st, Sonoco Products reported first-quarter results for the period ending March 31 st, 2023.
Revenue fell 2.3% to $1.73 billion, which was $110 million less than expected. Adjusted earnings-per-
share of $1.40 compared unfavorably to $1.85 in the prior year but were $0.08 above estimates.
Consumer Packaging grew 5% to $909 million, due primarily to the purchase of Ball Metalpack in the
fourth quarter of 2021. Volume and mix were down compared to the prior year due to weaker demand
for metal packaging and rigid plastic food packaging. Industrial Paper Packing declined 12% to $616
million due to the exit of a business line, the exit of Russian operations, and weaker demand for
converted paper.
Sonoco Products provided an updated outlook for the year as well, with the company now expecting
adjusted earnings-per-share of $5.70 to $6.00 for 2023. This compares to prior guidance of $5.70 to
$5.90. At the new midpoint, this would be a 9.75% decline from 2022.
Competitive Advantages & Recession Performance
Sonoco Products operates in a cyclical industry, which is reflected in the company’s performance
during the Great Recession. Earnings-per-share totaled $2.13, $2.38, $2.24, $1.78, $2.34, and $2.29 for
the 2006 through 2011 period. Earnings-per-share fell 25% from 2007 to 2009 but did make a new high
the very next year. Since then, bottom-line growth has been mostly in an uptrend.
Sonoco Products’ dividend did grow 6% from 2007 to 2009. The company has increased its dividend
for 41 consecutive years. This includes several recessionary periods. We expect growth to continue as
the expected payout ratio is just 35% for 2023.
Growth Prospects, Valuation & Catalyst
Sonoco Products has seen earnings-per-share growth of 12.2% over the last decade and 11.5% over the
last five years, though much of that growth has occurred recently. We feel that a 5.0% annual growth
rate through 2028 is achievable given the company’s performance over the past five years and its
ability to overcome inflationary pressures.
Shares of the company are trading at 10.0 times the midpoint of guidance for the year. With a target
valuation of 16 times earnings, this implies a 10.0% tailwind from multiple expansion over this period.
We project that Sonoco Products could offer a total return of 17.7% annually over the next five years,
stemming from a 5.0% earnings growth rate, a starting yield of 3.5%, and a high single-digit
contribution from multiple expansion.

3M Co. (MMM)
3M sells more than 60,000 products that are used in homes, hospitals, office buildings, and schools
around the world. The company has four operating divisions. The Safety & Industrial division produces
tapes, abrasives, adhesives, supply chain management software, personal protective gear, and security
products. The Health Care segment supplies medical and surgical products, and drug delivery systems.
The Transportation & Electronics division produces fibers and circuits. The Consumer division sells
office supplies, home improvement products, protective materials, and stationery supplies.
On July 26th, 2022, the company announced that Aearo Technologies had filed for bankruptcy as 3M is
facing several lawsuits, including nearly 300,000 claims that its earplugs used by U.S. combat troops
and produced by the subsidiary, were defective. In December 2022, the judge overseeing the case
imposed sanctions on 3M as she found the company had litigated the case for four years and never
indicated that Aearo was to blame until the bankruptcy proceedings. On March 1 st, 2023, the company
reported that Department of Defense records for more than 175,000 plaintiffs showed that the majority
of claimants had normal hearing under medically accepted standards.
On April 24th, 2023, 3M reported first-quarter earnings results for the period ending March 31st, 2023.
Revenue fell 9.7% to $7.7 billion while adjusted earnings-per-share of $1.97 compared unfavorably to
$2.65 in the prior year. Organic growth for the Health Care segment grew 1.4%, while Transportation
& Electronics, Consumer, and Safety & Industrial was lower by 11.3%, 6.8%, and 6%, respectively.
3M’s industry dominance has come about due to its focus on innovation. The company spends heavily
on research and development, annually between 5% and 6% of sales. This investment does not go
unrewarded as the company often adds hundreds or thousands of patents each year to its portfolio. It
has now surpassed 121,600 in total patents. Nearly a third of annual sales come from products that
were not even in existence five years ago.
3M’s business tends to rise and fall with the broader economy. The company posted earnings-per-share
of $5.06, $5.60, $4.89, $4.52, $5.75, and $5.96 for the 2006 through 2011 period. Earnings-per-share
did fall 19% from 2007 to 2009 but rebounded to make a new high in 2010.
3M’s earnings-per-share have a compound annual growth rate of 4.6% since 2013. We believe the
company could see 5% annual earnings growth through 2028.
Shares are trading at 11.2 times our expected earnings-per-share of $8.75 for 2023, compared to our
target P/E of 17, implying an 8.7% tailwind to annual returns for the period.
We forecast annual returns of 17.7% through 2028, stemming from a 5% earnings growth rate, a 6.1%
starting yield, and a high single-digit contribution from multiple expansion.

Westamerica Bancorporation (WABC)
Westamerica Bancorporation is the holding company for Westamerica Bank. Westamerica
Bancorporation is a regional community bank with approximately 80 branch locations in Northern and
Central California. The company can trace its origins back to 1884. Westamerica Bancorporation offers
clients access to savings, checking, and money market accounts. The company’s loan portfolio consists
of both commercial and residential real estate loans as well as construction loans. Westamerica
Bancorporation has annual revenues around $315 million.
Westamerica posted first-quarter earnings on April 20th, 2023 and results were mixed. Earnings-per-
share came to $1.51, which was 13 cents ahead of estimates. Revenue soared 45% year-over-year to
$80.1 million but missed estimates by about half a million dollars.
Earnings included a provision for credit losses of -$1.6 million, reversing prior provisions. That helped
boost earnings by four cents per share and indicated better than feared credit quality.
The bank noted its cost of funding in the first quarter was just 0.03%. Net interest income was $69.6
million, up fractionally from the prior quarter. The yield earned on the company’s loans and
investments was 4.21%, up 23 basis points from the prior quarter.
Noninterest income was $10.5 million, flat to the prior quarter. Noninterest expenses came to $26.2
million, up from $25.1 million in the prior quarter.
As a smaller regional bank, Westamerica Bancorporation lacks the size and scale of the larger names in
the industry. That said, the company outperformed its peer group during the last recession. Unlike
many in the banking sector, Westamerica Bancorporation showed resiliency during the 2007 to 2009
time frame, with earnings-per-share growing 4.6% during the period. Rising interest rates have
benefited the company greatly. Year-over-year and sequential net interest income growth has been very
strong for Westamerica Bancorporation.
The company has increased its dividend for 29 years. It should be noted that the company tends to raise
its dividend every other year but does so in the fourth quarter in order to maintain its dividend growth
streak. The dividend was last raised in 2021.
Earnings-per-share have a compound annual growth rate of almost 7% over the last decade. As
earnings are starting from a high base, we forecast growth of 2% per year for the next five years.
Shares of Westamerica Bancorporation are trading at just 7.2 times our earnings-per-share estimate for
2023. With a target price-to-earnings ratio of 13, this implies a meaningful tailwind of 12.6% to annual
returns should the valuation reach that level. In total, we expect that Westamerica Bancorporation
could return 17.4% per year through 2028, stemming from 2% earnings growth, a 4.3% starting yield,
and a significant tailwind from multiple expansion.

Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. (WBA)
Walgreens Boots Alliance is the largest retail pharmacy in both the U.S. and Europe. The $25 billion
market cap company has a presence in nine countries and has more than 13,000 stores in the U.S.,
Europe, and Latin America. The company also has a 47-year dividend growth streak and produces
about $138 billion in annual revenue.
Walgreens posted third quarter earnings on June 27th, 2023 and results were mixed, including lower
guidance for Q4. The share price fell about 10% after the earnings release.
Walgreens posted adjusted earnings-per-share of $1.00, which missed estimates by seven cents.
Revenue was up 8.7% year-over-year to $35.4 billion, which was $1.3 billion ahead of estimates.
However, margins suffered in Q3, and were the source of weakness in the Q4 guidance.
The company noted that the U.S. Retail Pharmacy segment, its largest, saw revenue rise 4% year-over-
year to $27.9 billion. Total prescriptions filled were flat on an adjusted basis, and COVID-19 vaccines
plummeted from 4.7 million to just 0.8 million as that tailwind appears to have disappeared.
The international segment grew the top line at 5% to $5.6 billion, with the Boots UK business posting
10% constant currency growth. U.S. Healthcare was up 22% to $2 billion in revenue.
Gross margin declined from 20.3% to 19.0% of revenue on an adjusted basis year-over-year, with the
company’s operating loss at $0.5 billion, due nearly entirely to a non-cash impairment charge related to
Boots UK. However, margins were weak even excluding that charge.
The company guided for adjusted earnings-per-share to be $4.00 to $4.05 for the year, down sharply
from prior guidance of $4.45 to $4.65 on margin weakness. We’ve revised our estimates accordingly
and note that fewer COVID vaccines remain a risk for revenue for the next couple of quarters.
Walgreens’ competitive advantage lies in its vast scale and network in an important and growing
industry. Despite a 21% decrease in its earnings-per-share in 2020, Walgreens has proven resilient to
recessions thanks to the essential nature of its business. In the Great Recession, earnings-per-share
slipped only 7% and the dividend continued to rise. The stock is currently offering a 6.6% dividend
yield. Given the payout ratio of 48% and its resilience to recessions, Walgreens could keep raising its
dividend for many more years, albeit at a modest pace.
Walgreens has grown its earnings-per-share by 7.6% per year on average over the last decade. This was
driven by a combination of factors including solid top-line growth ($72 billion to $133 billion), net
profit margin expansion, and a modest reduction in the number of shares outstanding. Due to the fading
tailwind from the pandemic and heating competition, we expect 5% growth over the next five years.
Shares are trading hands at 7.2 times our estimate of 2023 earnings. Our fair value multiple is 10.0
times earnings, indicating the potential for a 6.6% annual tailwind from the valuation. When combined
with the 6.6% yield and 5.0% growth, we project potential total returns of 16.3% per year.

Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (BMY)
Bristol-Myers Squibb was created in 1984 when Bristol-Myers and Squibb completed their merger.
Bristol-Myers can trace its corporate beginnings back to the late 1880s. Today, the company is a
leading drug manufacture of cardiovascular and anti-cancer therapeutics. Bristol-Myers completed its
$74 billion purchase of Celgene Corporation on November 20th, 2019. The company has a market
capitalization of $136 billion and annual sales of $46 billion.
On December 8th, 2022, Bristol-Myers raised its quarterly dividend 5.6% to $0.57.
On April 27th, 2023, Bristol-Myers reported first-quarter results for the period ending March 31st, 2023.
Revenue decreased 3.0% to $11.3 billion while adjusted earnings-per-share of $2.05 compared
favorably to $1.96 in the prior year. The company expects adjusted earnings-per-share in a range of
$7.95 to $8.25 for 2023.
Bristol-Myers’ chief competitive advantage is its ability to either create (through research and
development) or acquire patents for pharmaceuticals with high potential revenue. The company’s top
three selling products, Revlimid, Opdivo, and Eliquis, have shown strong growth rates historically,
though Revlimid has now lost patent exclusivity in certain markets and is facing competition from
generics. The addition of Celgene has also aided results.
Bristol-Myers was able to grow earnings-per-share during the last recessionary period. Healthcare
companies tend to hold up well during times of economic distress as people will seek out treatment for
aliments even during periods of economic uncertainty.
Earnings growth has been very strong since just after the Great Recession. Bristol-Myers’ earnings-per-
share have a five and ten-year compound annual growth rate of 15.3% and 19.6%, respectively.
However, much of this growth has occurred over the last three years. We forecast earnings growth of
3% per year over the next five years.
For multiple years, shareholders received a token dividend increase, but that has changed recently as
the five-year dividend growth rate is more than 7%. We forecast dividends to grow at a rate of 5% per
year going forward.
Shares of Bristol-Myers are trading at 8.0 times our expected earnings-per-share of $8.10. We believe
that fair value is closer to 13.5 times earnings, implying an 11.0% annual tailwind from multiple
expansion through 2028.
In total, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could provide annual returns of 16.6% over the next five years.
This projection stems from a 3% earnings growth rate, the starting yield of 3.5%, and a low double-
digit contribution from multiple expansion.

Cambridge Bancorp (CATC)

Cambridge Bancorp is a bank holding company that operates the Cambridge Trust Company. Through
this subsidiary, Cambridge Bancorp offers a range of banking and related products in the northeastern
U.S. Cambridge has a network of 25 offices in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. The company was
founded in 1890, generates about $165 million in revenue, and trades with a $437 million market cap.
Cambridge posted first-quarter earnings on April 25th, 2023 and results were quite strong. The bank
posted net income of $12.4 million, which was up almost 10% year-over-year. On a per-share basis,
earnings came to $1.58, which was up from $1.44 in the year-ago period.
Net interest and dividend income before credit loss provisions fell $6.6 million, or 16%, to $34 million.
This decline was due primarily to a higher cost of funds, partially offset by an increase in the bank’s
average earning assets, and higher loan yields.
Net interest margin was down 45 basis points to 2.63%. Total deposits were off 3.3%, or $159 million.
Noninterest income was up 6.5% to $10.7 million, which helped offset weakness elsewhere.
The management team noted they expect “limited” growth in loans and deposits this year, and that net
interest margin is expected to decline by close to 2% by the end of the year. This is a decline from prior
guidance of 2.85% to 3.00%. We see this volatility in margins as unattractive, but note it isn’t unduly
impacting earnings at the moment. We forecast $7.70 in earnings-per-share for this year.
In banking, competitive advantages are difficult to come by given all entrants sell virtually identical
products and services. Therefore, the focus of the individual bank can become an advantage, and in the
case of Cambridge, it is focused on gathering cheap deposits and expanding its wealth management
business. The company is focused on building its private banking and wealth management business,
which supports higher profit margins, in the suburbs of Boston, and in New Hampshire.
Cambridge is susceptible to recessions, but it has held up quite well in the past. Indeed, it has a
dividend increase streak of nearly a quarter century, which is rare for a bank. We believe the company
would be able to continue paying and even raising its dividend during recessionary periods.
Cambridge has an impressive history of growth given it operates in a low-growth industry, and we
believe organic and acquired growth can produce 6% average annual earnings-per-share growth.
We believe the top line will drive profit gains in the years to come, in addition to any additional
mergers helping to drive down SG&A costs as a percentage of revenue. We note the full benefit of the
Northmark merger is unlikely to be seen until late-2023 given inherent integration costs.
We see the share price as attractive, and a corresponding 7.3% tailwind from the valuation. In total, we
expect 17.1% total returns, primarily driven by the valuation, but aided by 6% growth and the 5.0%
yield.

Cass Information Systems Inc. (CASS)
Cass Information Systems offers payment and data processing services to U.S.-based manufacturing,
distribution, and retail businesses. In addition, the company provides invoice rating, payment
processing, auditing, accounting, and transportation information services. Cass operates two business
segments, Information Services and Banking Services. Information Services generates the majority of
revenue for the company. Cass generates about $200 million in annual revenue, and its market cap is
$531 million.
Cass reported first-quarter earnings on April 17th, 2023 and results were somewhat mixed. Revenue
was $49.3 million, up more than 17% from last year’s comparable period. Earnings-per-share were 51
cents, down 15% from 60 cents.
Net interest margin was 3.23%, up sharply from 2.36% in the year-ago period. The company also noted
facility expense transaction and dollar volumes were higher by 5.3% and 14.4%, respectively.
All three of the company’s main revenue segments were higher, with higher net interest income, higher
financial fees, and higher payment processing fees.
We currently forecast $3.07 in earnings-per-share for 2023, which would be a record, if achieved.
Cass has performed well over the past two years, benefiting from higher inflation and rising interest
rates. The company benefits from rising inflation as its main business of processing payments sees
higher transaction dollar volumes due to rising utilities and labor costs for businesses. The increase in
short and long-term interest rates has had a material impact on net interest income and margin.
Cass performed better than expected during the Great Recession. The company’s earnings-per-share
totaled $1.61, $1.90, $2.03, $1.73, and $2.15 for the 2006 through 2010 period. Earnings-per-share did
fall 9% from 2007 to 2009, but Cass established a new high by 2010. In 2020, results were also weaker,
but the company experienced a similar return to growth following the worst of the COVID pandemic.
Despite its smaller size, Cass has a solid dividend growth streak of 22 years. The dividend has an
annual growth rate of close to 5% since 2013. The dividend yield of 3% is nearly double that of the
S&P 500 Index and looks to be well-covered as the projected payout ratio is under 40%.
Earnings-per-share have compounded at nearly 6% annually over the past decade. We forecast that
Cass could see 4% earnings growth as earnings-per-share are beginning from a high base.
Shares of the company are trading at 12.5 times our expected earnings-per-share of $3.07 for 2023. We
have a target price-to-earnings ratio of 23, which is near the long and medium-term averages. Reaching
our target valuation by 2028 would add 13.1% to annual returns over the next five years.
In total, we project that Cass could offer total annual returns of 19.4% through 2028, stemming from
4% earnings growth, the 3% starting yield, and a double-digit contribution from multiple expansion.

UGI Corp. (UGI)

UGI is a diversified utility company that operates in several markets in the U.S. The company
distributes, stores, transports, and sells energy products and related services primarily in the U.S. It
operates a propane distribution company (AmeriGas), a traditional utility, as well as a midstream
business. UGI was formed back in 1882 and has paid rising dividends for an impressive 36 years. The
company generates about $10 billion in annual revenue, and trades with a market cap of $5.7 billion.
On May 3rd, 2023, UGI announced a 4.2% dividend increase to $0.375 per share quarterly, representing
the company’s 36th consecutive annual dividend increase.
UGI reported financial results for the second fiscal quarter on May 3rd, 2023. Second-quarter adjusted
earnings-per-share of $1.68 missed analysts’ consensus expectations by $0.13 and compared to
adjusted earnings-per-share of $1.91 in the prior year quarter. Second quarter reportable segment EBIT
of $576 million was down from $631 million in the prior year period.
The company entered into a joint venture with Archaea Energy to develop a renewable natural gas
project in Pennsylvania, thus increasing its total renewables investment to over $500 million.
Leadership also updated fiscal 2023 guidance and now expects adjusted EPS of $2.75 to $2.90.
UGI’s main strength and competitive advantage is in its diversified model; it isn’t simply a propane
distributor, or traditional utility, but has several energy-related revenue streams. Its wide geographic
area helps it diversify further over a traditional, regional utility. Due to these factors, the company
performs quite well during recessions, and should not see an adverse impact during the next downturn.
The payout ratio is projected to be 54% of earnings for this year and given the fact that UGI’s earnings
are quite predictable, we don’t see undue risk to the dividend. The company’s streak of 36 years of
consecutive increases gives us confidence UGI can and will continue to increase its dividend.
We forecast 6.3% annual growth in the coming years, which would stem mostly from revenue
increases and potential acquisitions. UGI’s top-line gains can come from higher base rates in the utility
business, as well as increased demand for heating products, storage, and transportation of energy
products. The company has also seen margin increases over time. UGI does not buy back stock, rather
it uses its stock as compensation and as a vehicle for acquisitions. Thus, revenue and margins must
more than offset dilution over time.
Shares of UGI are trading at 9.7 times our expected earnings-per-share of $2.80 for this year. This
compares favorably to our targeted price-to-earnings ratio of 14.0. Reaching our target valuation by
2028 would add 7.5% to annual returns over this period. Combined with our forecasted earnings
growth rate of 6.3% and the starting yield of 5.5%, UGI could provide annualized returns of 17.6%
over the next five years.

Baxter International Inc. (BAX)

Baxter International develops and sells a variety of healthcare products, including biological products,
medical devices, and connected care devices used to monitor patients. Its products are used in
hospitals, kidney dialysis centers, nursing homes, doctors’ offices, and for patients at home under
physician supervision. Baxter was founded in 1931, generates about $13 billion in annual revenue, and
trades with a market cap of $23 billion.
Baxter International reported first-quarter results on April 27th, 2023. Revenue declined 1.6% to $3.65
billion while adjusted earnings-per-share of $0.59 compared unfavorably to $0.93 in the prior year.
On May 8th, 2023, Baxter International announced that it was selling its BioPharma Solutions business
to Advent International for $4.25 billion in cash. The company intends to use the proceeds to lower
debt, but this will act as a ~$0.10 headwind to earnings-per-share for 2023.
Through its subsidiaries, Baxter International provides a diverse range of products used in the
healthcare sector. This includes dialysis therapies, infusion systems and devices, IV solutions,
nutritional therapies, and generic injectable pharmaceuticals. Having a wide range of products allows
Baxter International to reach customers of all types across the healthcare sector.
Healthcare is typically recession-resistant due to demand for its products and services regardless of
economic conditions. Baxter International is no different. The company’s earnings-per-share for the
2006 through 2010 period were $2.23, $2.79, $3.38, $3.80, and $3.98. Baxter International’s earnings-
per-share grew 36% during the Great Recession, illustrating the company’s business resilience.
Over the past five years, Baxter International’s earnings-per-share have a compound annual growth rate
of nearly 3.0%. We believe the company is well positioned in its industry to see a higher rate of
growth. We have a target earnings growth rate of 10% annually over the next five years.
Baxter International yields 2.6% today. Looking forward, we expect the company to aggressively raise
its dividend with a growth rate similar to earnings.
The stock has traded with an average price-to-earnings ratio of ~23 over the last five years. Shares of
the company are trading at 16.0 times our expected adjusted earnings-per-share estimate of $2.83 for
the fiscal year. We believe a premium multiple is warranted for Baxter International, with a target
price-to-earnings ratio of 20. Reaching our target would add 4.7% to annual returns over this period.
In total, Baxter International is projected to return 17.0% per year for the next five years, stemming
from a 10% earnings growth rate, 2.6% starting yield, and a tailwind from multiple expansion.

AT&T Inc. (T)

AT&T is a diversified telecommunications company that operates globally. The company has various
segments, including wireless voice and data communications, internet, virtual private network services,
fiber, telephone connections, and more. It has both pre-paid and post-paid mobile service that makes up
the core of the business following the transformation it went through last year divesting its
entertainment business. AT&T produces more than $120 billion in annual revenue, and trades with a
market cap of $113 billion. The company had a streak of 36 consecutive annual dividend increases that
ended in conjunction with its spinoff of the Warner business, and its desire to pay down debt.
AT&T reported first-quarter earnings on April 20th, 2023 and results were mixed. The company
reported revenue growth of 1% over the prior year’s quarter. This was due to strong customer additions
in its growing 5G wireless business, as well as its fiber networks. The company said it added 272,000
fiber customers on a net basis, marking 13 consecutive quarters of at least 200,000 net additions.
Postpaid net additions were 424,000.
Earnings-per-share came to 60 cents, down from 63 cents in the comparable period. Free cash flow
(FCF) missed estimates, coming in at just $1 billion. Management noted FCF missed estimates due to
heavier investments in future growth in fiber and 5G.
We forecast $2.50 in earnings-per-share for this year following Q1 results, as tailwinds from added
customers may be offset by high interest expense and weaker margins.
AT&T’s competitive advantage is one of size and scale. AT&T operates what amounts to a triopoly in
the mobile phone segment in the U.S., and it is heavily entrenched in that business among consumers
and businesses alike. In addition, AT&T is investing heavily in 5G infrastructure upgrades. We
consider AT&T’s business to have such an advantage that it is akin to a utility in that respect.
Given this, we also believe its recession resistance will remain quite high. Mobile phone and internet
service are necessities and therefore, we do not believe material weakness would befall AT&T in a
recession.
We forecast growth at 2% going forward, which should be driven by increased subscribers in the
wireless and internet service businesses, somewhat offset by relatively weak profit margins and high
interest expense from its massive debt. Management has been gradually chipping away at its debt,
which should boost margins over time through lower interest expense.
The company has an average price-to-earnings ratio of just over 11 in the past decade, and we assess
fair value at 10 times earnings. Shares trade for just 6.3 times earnings, meaning we expect to see a
potential 9.6% tailwind to total returns in the coming years, should the valuation normalize. Shares
yield 7.0%, and with 2% growth, we project robust 16.3% total annual returns.

Closing Thoughts
- The State Of Sonoco Products -
In the Opening Thoughts we looked at the state of the investment universe. Today’s value
proposition appears to be more or less average in comparison to the last three and a half years.
For the Closing Thoughts we wanted to work through the same sort of exercise for a security that
was featured in this month’s Top 10 – Sonoco Products (SON):
Date Yield Valuation Growth ETR
12/31/19 2.7% -2.3% 5.0% 5.3%
3/31/20 3.6% 4.0% 5.0% 12.0%
6/30/20 3.3% 0.6% 5.0% 8.6%
9/30/20 3.4% 0.0% 5.0% 8.6%
12/31/20 2.9% -2.4% 5.0% 5.4%
3/31/21 2.8% -3.0% 5.0% 4.7%
6/30/21 2.7% -3.0% 5.0% 4.6%
9/30/21 3.0% -1.2% 5.0% 6.6%
12/31/21 3.1% -0.6% 5.0% 7.3%
3/31/22 2.9% 3.6% 5.0% 11.1%
6/30/22 3.4% 8.5% 5.0% 16.2%
9/30/22 3.5% 12.1% 5.0% 19.7%
12/31/22 3.2% 11.2% 5.0% 18.7%
3/31/23 3.3% 9.2% 5.0% 16.8%
6/30/23 3.5% 9.8% 5.0% 17.5%
There are a variety of takeaways from this table. Starting with the dividend, Sonoco Products’ yield
has not fluctuated much – ranging from 2.7% to 3.6%. This is partly due to a stable share price, and
partly a result of Sonoco Products increasing its dividend every year for over four decades.
On the other hand, the expected contribution from valuation has oscillated significantly – from
negative 3.0% to 12.1% - while the expected growth rate has been steady at 5% throughout.
Prior to 2022, March of 2020 was the highest expected total return period. Since then, Sonoco
Products has generated a total return of 9% per year. On the other hand, June of 2021 was the
lowest expected total return, and since then Sonoco Products has generated an actual total return of
negative 4% annually. Shares are once again offering a high expected total return.
Nothing requires Sonoco Products to perform well from this point. However, it is being featured in
the Sure Dividend Newsletter because it has a combination of attractive characteristics, including:
1) a proven, quality business, 2) a well-covered dividend, and 3) a bellow average valuation.
If you accumulate enough of these business and opportunities, things will generally work out.
All the best,
Eli Inkrot

Real Money Portfolio

The Sure Dividend Real Money Portfolio tracks our actual investment decisions in real time,
with real money. Each month we save and invest $1,000 to show the actual progress of
building and maintaining a dividend growth portfolio.
We buy the highest ranked security in the Top 10 that we either do not own or own the least of
in our portfolio. We will not place buys that push the portfolio over 30% in any one sector, to
prevent over-concentration in any sector. The portfolio will hold 30 securities. Once 30
securities are reached, we will buy whichever security in the Top 10 that we already hold in the
Real Money Portfolio but hold the least of. 2 We will add to a position up to 10% of the
portfolio’s value. Selling uses the same criteria as the Sure Dividend Newsletter.
Interactive Brokers is our brokerage for this portfolio. Buy and sell orders for our trades will be
placed the second trading day after the Sure Dividend Newsletter is published. This gives
readers who follow the real money portfolio a full trading day to make trades in advance of us.
There are no sell recommendations this month.
With our $1,000 deposit for the month, we will purchase the highest ranked stock that we
already own, but own the least of, from the Top 10, so long as it doesn’t violate our 30% sector
allocation rule.
The buy for July 2023 is Westamerica Bancorporation (WABC) because it is the security in
this month’s Top 10 that we currently own but own the least.
The totals from our brokerage account below shows our current 30 holdings in the Real Money
Portfolio (see the next page).
Note: Our Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) shares were received from the AT&T (T) spin-off.
We will hold our WBD shares until they are trading for a reasonable estimate of fair value.
2
This was changed slightly in the August 2021 edition. We previously were purchasing the highest ranked security in the Top 10 that
we already owned. The only purchase made under the old rule was BMY in July of 2021. This change more closely aligns our Real
Money Portfolio strategy with our Portfolio Building Guide strategy.

The portfolio currently has a weighted dividend yield of 3.7% (not including cash in the
account) which translates to an annual dividend income of $2,4834. This comes to a yield on
cost of 4.6%, not including cash in the account.

Buying & Ranking Criteria

The method we use to come up with the Top 10 list for the Sure Dividend Newsletter is as
follows:
Note: Ranking data is from the most recent Sure Analysis report on the Wednesday morning
preceding the publication of the newsletter.
1. Filter our Sure Analysis Research Database universe of securities for:
- 10%+ Expected Total Returns
- A & B Dividend Risk Scores
- U.S. securities only (no international securities, REITs, MLPs, or BDCs, etc.)
- All companies must have their dividend covered by cash flows
- Dividend yield equal to or greater than the S&P 500’s dividend yield
2. Sort by Expected Total Returns (highest first)
3. No more than three companies per sector
4. Veto any securities from the Top 10 as necessary after qualitative analysis
5. The Top 10 is the 10 highest Expected Total Returns securities from steps 1 through 4
6. “A” Dividend Risk Score securities rank ahead of “B” Dividend Risk Score securities
within the Top 10
To receive an “A” Dividend Risk Score, a security must be in the top 20% for dividend safety.
To receive a “B” Dividend Risk Score, a security must be in the top 40% for dividend safety.
The formula for the Dividend Risk Score is below:
Dividend Risk Score (Raw) = Payout Ratio x 100 – # Years of Steady or Rising Dividends + 50
if deemed risky during a recession
We view securities with “A” and “B” Dividend Risk Scores as generally having secure
dividends that are very unlikely to be reduced in the near future.
Our expected total returns are calculated in Sure Analysis. They are based on expected returns
over the next five years. Our expected total returns take into account dividends, growth, and
valuation returns.
The combination of expected total returns and low dividend risk creates a screen to find high-
quality dividend growth securities with strong return potential.
Note that our expected total returns are based on the idea that the economy will continue
forward ‘as is’ for the foreseeable future, and not encounter a recession. Recessions happen, of
course, and we seek to recommend securities likely to pay steady or rising dividends during
recessions. Recession safety factors into our Dividend Risk Scores, and in turn our rankings for
the Sure Dividend Newsletter.

Portfolio Building Guide

The process of building a high-quality dividend growth portfolio does not have to be complex: Each month
invest in the top-ranked security in which you own the smallest dollar amount out of the Top 10. Over
time, you will build a well-diversified portfolio of great businesses purchased at attractive prices. Alternatively,
the Top 10 list is also useful as an idea generation tool for those with a different portfolio allocation plan.
If you are looking to add higher yielding securities to your portfolio, the Sure Retirement Newsletter offers a
Top 10 list with 4%+ dividend yields. The Sure Analysis Research Database includes 850+ (and growing)
securities, most of which we analyze quarterly and provide Dividend Risk Scores and 5-year forward expected
total returns (among other metrics) for.

UGI UGI Corp. $- UGI UGI Corp. $ 2,176
BAX Baxter International $- BAX Baxter International $ 1,079
T AT&T $- T AT&T $ 4,864
- If you had portfolio 1, you would buy MMM, the top-ranked security you own least.
- If you had portfolio 2, you would buy BAX, the top-ranked security you own least.
If you have an existing portfolio or a large lump sum to invest, you may wish to switch over to the Sure
Dividend Strategy over a 20-month period. Each month take 1/20 of your initial portfolio value and buy the top-
ranked security you own the least out of the Top 10. When you sell a security, use the proceeds to purchase the
top-ranked security you own the least. Reinvest dividends in the same manner. There’s nothing ‘perfect’ about a
20-security portfolio. Something in the 20 to 30 range is what we prefer at Sure Dividend. Our Real Money
Portfolio has 30 holdings, as an example.
This simple investing process will build a diversified portfolio of high-quality dividend securities over a period
of less than two years (for a 20-security portfolio). Further, higher ranked securities will receive proportionately
more investment dollars as they will stay in the Top 10 rankings longer. You will build up large positions in the
highest-quality securities over your investing career.
If your portfolio grows too large to manage comfortably (for example, you are not comfortable holding 40+
securities – which could happen after around four years of using the Sure Dividend System), you will need to
sell holdings. We recommend eliminating positions that have the lowest yields if you are in or near retirement.
If you are not near retirement, eliminate positions that rank the lowest in the newsletter or the Sure Analysis
Research Database until you are comfortable with the number of positions in your portfolio. Reinvest the
proceeds into the highest-ranked securities you currently own, until your highest-ranked holding makes up 10%
of your portfolio’s total value. Then add to the next highest-ranked holding, and so on.

Past Recommendations & Sells

Every past Sure Dividend Newsletter Top 10 recommendation is shown in this section 5. The sell rules that
govern this newsletter are below.
Sell Rules
Except in extreme circumstances, we will not issue sell recommendations – even if the sell rules below are
triggered – unless a security has been held for one year or longer, to qualify for the lower long-term capital
gains tax rates in taxable accounts.
Previous Dividend-Based Sell Rules: Prior to the March 2023 edition of the Sure Dividend Newsletter, any
past recommendation that reduced or eliminated its dividend was automatically a pending sell. We would
review these securities to determine when to initiate the final sale in the future. We have found that selling just
after a dividend reduction is in many cases a suboptimal choice, as securities that recently reduced or eliminated
their dividends tend to be sold-off and deeply undervalued. As a result, we have moved both of our pending
sells – Macy’s (M) and Foot Locker (FL) to the unsold past recommendations section and will not add any
pending sells going forward. A dividend reduction will no longer automatically trigger a sell or pending sell.
Sell Rule #1, Dividend & Dividend Risk-Based Sell Rules: Any past recommendation that has an “F”
Dividend Risk Score is reviewed to verify its dividend safety. Securities with a poor risk-to-return profile that
have not yet reduced their dividends may be sold preemptively.
Additionally, securities that have reduced or eliminated their dividends will be reviewed. If the security is not
significantly undervalued, we will issue a sell recommendation on it.
Sell Rule #2, Expected Total Return-Based Sell Rule: Sell past recommendations with expected total returns
lower than 3%. Prior to the July 2022 edition of the Sure Dividend Newsletter, our valuation-based sell rule was
based on relative returns of a recommendation as compared to the S&P 500 and the 20-year T-Bond. We have
revised the valuation-based sell rule to more closely align with our valuation-based sell guidance in the Sure
Analysis Research Database. An expected total return below 3% is the first criteria for our valuation-based sell
rule. We may consider other factors as well before issuing a sell recommendation.
Past recommendations at or below the expected total return sell threshold are in red in the table below.
We will only recommend up to two expected total return-based sells a month so that the reinvestment of sale
proceeds is not concentrated in a short time frame.

List of Securities by Dividend Risk Score
The list below shows income securities from the Sure Analysis Research Database grouped
according to Dividend Risk Score and sorted (from highest to lowest) by Expected Total Returns.
Dividend or Distribution Yield is included next to each security’s ticker symbol.
The Dividend Risk Score uses payout ratio, dividend history, and recession resiliency to measure a
company’s dividend safety. You can learn more about how the score is calculated in the Sure
Analysis Glossary.
These rankings will not always align with our Top 10 due to additional safety constraints we
impose outside of the Top 10 and newsletter compilation timing8. See our ‘Buying and Ranking
Criteria’ for more information.
