☆ Ford's dividend quality, J&J's split-off, cost basis discipline — what we think about all these
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Zev Fima | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +10 min

Thank you, Denise The quickest way to determine the sustainability of a company's dividend is to consider it in relation to earnings and/or cash flow. The dividend payout divided by the earnings number is referred to as the "payout ratio" — below 100% is generally considered sustainable (so long as it's positive). First, earnings fluctuate and therefore so does the payout ratio (assuming a non-variable dividend payment). That's because all the numbers are positive in the "adjusted EPS payout ratio" line (2021 and 2022 actual results and 2023 and 2024 estimated results) and each of them is below 100%. As you stated, our discipline is to not violate our cost basis and we stick to that as much as possible.

Two men arrive on the dance floor, holding hands. This is the polka chinata, or crouched polka, a nearly defunct Bolognese folk dance. He had made other works using folk dance, but he had never heard of an Italian couple dance for men. He sought out Giancarlo Stagni, a dance teacher in Castel San Pietro Terme, near Bologna. Stagni told him that the number of people who danced the polka chinata had shrunk to just five.

☆ Sirius XM shares pull back after 'wild' gains with short squeeze in focus
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-21 | by ( Sinéad Carew | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +3 min

July 21 (Reuters) - Shares in Sirius XM Holdings (SIRI.O) were down 10.5% on Friday, erasing some of their dramatic gains in the previous day's session with analysts attributing the volatility to a short squeeze, as well as a rebalance of the Nasdaq 100 (.NDX). U.S. satellite and online radio company, Sirius XM, which is majority owned by Liberty Media (FWONA.O), last traded at $6.99 after closing up 42% at $7.81 on Thursday for its biggest one-day percentage gain since March 2009. A short squeeze is when these investors are forced to quickly cover their bets to limit losses if a stock gains ground instead of falling. "However, the large number of shares held short along with a relatively small float provided fertile ground for a short squeeze as seen on July 20," wrote Macker who estimates a $7.50 fair value for the stock. Evercore analyst Vijay Jayant said the upcoming rebalance of the Nasdaq 100, of which Sirius is a member, was also a factor for the short squeeze as well as related options trading.

☆ The No. 1 red flag a company is offering ‘fake flexibility,’ says CEO: ‘It's easy to be noncommittal’
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-20 | by ( Morgan Smith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Some companies are "catfishing" job candidates with false promises of remote work and flexible hours to lure talent in a stubbornly tight labor market. Johnson-Jones has noticed more companies offering what she calls "fake flexibility" in recent months. Most policies, Johnson-Jones explains, fall short of offering employees true flexibility: adaptable work schedules, remote or hybrid options without caveats. "The term 'flexible work' is actually quite problematic because it's very vague, so it's easy to be noncommittal about what kind of arrangement, exactly, you're offering," she tells CNBC Make It. Here, Johnson-Jones shares tips for spotting fake flexibility when you're on the job hunt, and the 3 biggest red flags to watch out for:

DeSantis’ remarks Monday in Tega Cay, South Carolina, were a near carbon copy of the speech he has delivered at campaign stops for weeks. Over the weekend, a spokesperson for DeSantis’ campaign confirmed to CNN it let go of some staffers, after Politico reported that “fewer than 10 staffers” in event planning were cut on Thursday. Over six weeks, DeSantis had spent $686,000 on travel including expenses for private jets, according to campaign finance records, and his payroll topped $1 million. “In the second quarter, we were a candidate for about five and a half weeks, our campaign raised $20.1 million dollars.

It's possible that J & J management will offer up Kenvue shares at a discount to market value. Regardless, arbitrage isn't our game and we want to be invested in J & J for the long term. The only change — since J & J owns 89.6% of Kenvue — is that 10.4% of earnings generated since Kevnue went public in early May to the end of the quarter are no longer attributed to J & J.

☆ Summer Pastas for Summer Zodiac Signs

As Cancer season comes to a close (and a milestone birthday of my own approaches), I dedicate this week’s newsletter to the Cancers, Leos and Virgos who may have complicated feelings about their birthdays. Below are the summer zodiac signs as summery pastas — practical, comforting, a little extravagant and, just like you, worth celebrating. Cancers who crave the familiar may be especially drawn to the way this weeknight-friendly spin on eggplant Parmigiana evokes the traditional version. Much like the sun-ruled fire sign, this pasta from Ali Slagle strikes a balance between showy opulence and confident boldness. The recipe calls for canned crushed or whole tomatoes, but use peeled fresh summer tomatoes if you’re feeling fancy.

REUTERS/Anushree Fadnavis/File PhotoBENGALURU, July 20 (Reuters) - Jio Financial Services (JFS) has been valued at around $20 billion after its stock price was set at a much higher-than-expected 261.85 rupees ($3.19) in its demerger from Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Industries (RELI.NS). At a $20 billion valuation, Jio Financial would be one of the top 40 Indian companies by market capitalisation, in a list headed by Reliance at $233 billion. The price was determined as 261.85 rupees, or the difference between 2,841.85 rupees, Reliance's closing price on Wednesday, and 2,580 rupees, its price at the end of the special session. JFS's stock price is higher than analysts' estimate of 160 rupees to 190 rupees. Reliance Strategic Investments, the unit to be renamed JFS, late on Wednesday reported a net profit after tax of 1.45 billion rupees ($17.7 million) for April-June based on revenue of 2.15 billion rupees.

More than two weeks later, the Kremlin disclosed that Mr. Prigozhin and other Wagner leaders had met with Mr. Putin for three hours in the days after the rebellion ended. “I think he probably feels under some pressure,” Mr. Moore said of Mr. Putin, speaking at the British ambassador’s residence in the Czech capital. Mr. Prigozhin is known to have spent several days in Russia afterward, and video posted on the Telegram messaging app on Wednesday appears to show him in Belarus. “He is clearly under pressure,” Mr. Moore said of Mr. Putin.

Companies Novartis AG FollowSandoz GmbH FollowFRANKFURT, July 18 (Reuters) - Novartis (NOVN.S) on Tuesday raised its full-year earnings forecast on strong drug sales and mapped out the planned spin-off and stock market debut of its generic medicines division Sandoz for early October. The Swiss drugmaker said in a statement it expected group core operating income to grow by a "low double-digit" percentage in 2023, up from high single-digit growth previously projected. Novartis shareholders will vote on the proposed Sandoz spin-off and complete separation at an extraordinary general meeting on Sept. 15. Gains were driven by better-than-expected sales of heart failure drug Entresto, up 37% in local currencies at $1.52 billion. Kesimpta, a new once-a-month injection against multiple sclerosis, also beat expectations with quarterly revenues more than doubling to $489 million.

Consensus forecasts are for a modest rise in retail sales and industrial output last month, while the NAHB homebuilder index is expected to have ticked higher in July to underline the recent housing market recovery more broadly. U.S. stock futures were flat going into the open and 10-year Treasury yields ticked down to their lowest level of the month so far.
