Five Companies Below The Radar

2/2/2015

0 Comments

 
Here’s five companies that you’ve probably never heard of, but that’s not their fault. Each one of these companies has been profitable this year and is estimated to be profitable not only for next year but for the next five years too. They also all pay a dividend in excess of two percent and they’re all above their fifty day moving average. Finally they each have a PEG ratio less than one. So why doesn't everyone know about them?

These are the five companies. This is not intended to be a list of stock recommendations, but it is a list of companies that should be considered by every investor. They each have the potential to be candidates for anyone's portfolio. 

  1. The Macquarie Infrastructure Company is composed of Airport Services, Bulk Liquid Terminals, Gas Production and Distribution Services, and Contracted Power and Energy businesses.  
  2. Tallgrass Energy Partners is composed of Tallgrass Interstate Gas Transmission LLC,  Tallgrass Midstream LLC, BNN Energy, Trailblazer Pipeline Company, and the Tallgrass Pony Express Pipeline LLC.
  3. Delek Logistics Partners was formed to own and manage the midstream operations of DK Energy and is composed of the Tyler Tank Farm and Product Terminal, the Hopewell Pipeline, the North Little Rock Terminal, the El Dorado Tank Farm Product Terminal and the Mount Pleasant System.
  4. HCI Group, Inc. owns subsidiaries engaged in diverse, yet complementary business activities, including homeowners’ insurance, reinsurance, real estate and information technology services. The company’s largest subsidiary, Homeowners Choice Property & Casualty Insurance Company, Inc., is a leading provider of property and casualty insurance in the state of Florida.
  5. JMP Group is a full-service investment banking and asset management firm that provides investment banking, sales and trading, and equity research services to corporate and institutional clients and alternative asset management products to institutional and high-net-worth investors.

For investors that have the time, these companies are well worth the time and effort to investigate them further. They are all on my personal watch list and I own stock in at least one of them. I also expect that before long several of the other companies listed will be included in my portfolio.

    I am an Individual Investor with specific interest in long term growth and then enhancing my returns with income from dividends and derivatives. I don't recommend stocks to anyone (it's a good way to lose friends) and no one reading this should misinterpret my blog as a recommendation for any type of investment. I am writing this solely for myself and my kids.
