Tasty Thanksgiving Stocks

by Fred Fuld III

Thanksgiving is November 28, less than a week away. There are a few stocks that can benefit from Thanksgiving. Here are several examples:

If you are looking for a turkey company (I don’t mean that in a negative way, I mean it in a food way), Tyson Foods (TSN) sells Hillshire Brands turkeys. The stock has a trailing price to earnings ratio of 16 and pays a dividend yield of 1.9%. The annual dividend payout was recently increased by 12%.

Campbell Soup (CPB) sells Pepperidge Farm stuffing. Campbell has a trailing P/E of 67 and a forward P/E of 18 and has a yield of 3.0%.

ConAgra, Inc. (CAG) sells Marie Callender’s pumpkin pie. The stock trades at 20 times trailing earnings and 12 times forward earnings and yields 3.0%.

Kraft Heinz (KHC) sells Heinz Gravy and Stove Top Stuffing. It has a forward P/E of 12 and pays a generous yield of 5.15%.

Other Thanksgiving stocks  include Hormel (HRL) which sells the Jennie-O brand of turkeys, Constellation Brands (STZ) which produces Mondavi wine and many other wines, and Lifetime Brands (LCUT) which makes KitchenAid utensils.

So now it’s time to get stuffed and you get to talk turkey to all your relatives, and maybe even getting a dressing down from some of them. Time to make a little gravy with some Thanksgiving stocks.

Hoping you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Stocks Going Ex Dividend for the Month of July 2018

Here is our latest update on the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the process of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.

This technique generally works only in bull markets, and can work in flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the technique during bear markets. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the quarterly dividend amount, and annual yield.

American Express Company (AXP) 7/5/2018 0.35 1.39%
Barnes & Noble, Inc. (BKS) 7/5/2018 0.15 9.68%

How to Invest in Thanksgiving

turkeyAmericans are expected to spend over $1 billion on turkeys for this Thanksgiving on Thursday, November 24, according to new research by personal finance comparison website finder.com . With that much money going towards this holiday, several companies are bound to benefit.

One of the best ways is to look at the turkeys. Turkey is the number one dish served for Thanksgiving dinner. There are several turkey producers in the US, a few of which are owned by publicly traded companies.

Butterball is the largest, but unfortunately, you can’t invest in it because it is privately held.

The second largest is Jennie-O Turkey Store, which is owned by Hormel Foods (HRL). The stock trades at 23 times trailing earnings, 21 times forward earnings, and pays a yield of 1.6%.

Hillshire Brands is another top turkey producer, which is owned by Tyson Foods (TSN). Tyson has a trading price to earnings ratio of 14 and a forward P/E of 11. It pays out a dividend rate of 0.9%.

The Oscar Mayer division of Kraft Heinz (KHC) is also a turkey producer in the top ten. The stock trades at 37 times earnings and yields 3%.

Hopefully, your stock portfolio will provide you with a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
