My Perspective
​

Picture
This is another great company paying a great growing dividend, but it's also rather expensive. And the reason it's expensive is because Dividend Growth Investors are too often willing to push up the price of companies that continue to increase their dividend year after year. DGIs are often more interested in securing a stream of dividend income than preserving the value of their portfolio. They tend to over pay for the stocks there interested in and this seems to be the case with Domtar today. I believe it's priced higher than it should be. 

If the five year earnings growth rate really ends up being three percent as estimated by the analysts, then I just don't see how this company can continue to raise it's dividend above the rate of inflation. The money's just not coming in fast enough to do that. Especially since the payout ratio is already above 71%. I think if the company is able to increase the dividend at all, the high payout ratio will limit those future increases.

I Like the one year estimated return on invested capital and the current yield, but unless this company can find a way to increase its earnings growth rate I just don't see how they can increase their stock price or their dividend for long. I'll continue to monitor this company but it's currently not on my buy list.
