Question asked

Your opinion on TLS, TPG, PPT, APA for dividends

Hi James, Keep up the good work! I am looking for something that pays a good dividend with some possibility of growth and is unlikely to be taken over. Telstra and TPG come to mind. Do you like either of them using those parameters? If not why not. Personally I have long had a low opinion of Telstra but times change and one must change with them. Also, I hear little news of PPT these days. Do you think it is a good long-term high yield company? I own some APA and have been hearing some negatives about the company. Is there reason to be alarmed or concerned. I suspect not, but,times are changing quickly. Paul

Answer

Hi Paul,

Its not often that I hear people wanting to buy a stock that’s unlikely to be taken over!

  • Telstra (TLS) / TPG Telecom (TPG) -We own TLS in our Active Income Portfolio and believe it fits the parameters well, TPG is not too far behind but it comes with more risk in our opinion.
  • Perpetual (PPT) – we discussed PPT in Fridays What Mattes Today Report we are neutral at present but it is worth watching. We think PPT is worth ~$30 given the sum of the parts but higher costs on lower revenue reported this week was not a good combo.
  • APA Group (APA) – we like APA after this week’s dip under $9 following its capital raise to purchase Alinta’s remote power assets in Western Australia’s Pilbara – we hold APA in our Active Income Portfolio already and are considering increasing our 4% exposure given the yield is now above 6%.
  • Metcash (MTS) is another stock we like that pays a solid yield and is not expensive, while we recently bought National Storage (NSR) in our Growth Portfolio which is a company we think is too cheap for their quality.
