If you're like me, you believe that the new federal administration will bring in a greater emphasis on national defense and therefore more business for the defense industries. So I'll be looking at the numbers of several defense companies over the next few days and weeks to see if any of these companies fit with my investing strategy. Today I'll be looking at Raytheon Company.

​My Path Forward


While I may be very positive on the defense industry, this will probably not be the best choice for an investment in this area. But I could be wrong. I won't know until I look at some of Raytheon's competitors but an initial look at this company's fundamentals, especially the recent revenue growth rates, tells me to look elsewhere. I like the increasing dividend but obviously that has benefited from a rising payout ratio, and that can never be good. There also doesn't seem to be much of an increase in revenues going forward. 

Finally, looking at a PEG of almost 20 while estimating a foward earnings growth rate of just a little higher than 8% will just put downward pressure on the on the shares of this company. These shares have obviously gotten ahead of earnings.

I;ll keep an eye on this company simply because of the industry it's in, but for now I'll look at a few of their competitors.
