What happens when you go behind DIVIDEND YIELD ignoring GROWTH...

Educational thread based on learning from Mr. Market...

No recommendations..

Case 1 - COAL INDIA

In 2017 approx dividend Rs. 20 >> Price ~250; Yield 8%..

You might think its better than FD+tax free

(1/n)
Next year dividend ~16; Price in 2018 ~270; Yield ~6%..

You say not bad...interest rates are down...so still better than FD...

You see bit of current growth in PAT and say to yourself..market is wrong...I am SMART :)

(2/n)
Fast forward in 2019...price ~220, Dividend ~15...Yield ~7%...not bad...still beats FD...

Growth still ok...you say...Acche Din Ayenge...console yourself with dividend yield

(3/n)
You enter 2020....and as always market is smart most of the times

Price - 120; Dividend - 12; Yield - 10%

You still feel good if you did not get it...wow 10% yield is superb.

TTM PAT growth negative 22%....share price almost half...

Think yourself: Did you make money?

(4/n)
Another company and I was invested in it few years back (no positions)

Ambika Cotton...capex planned but took ages...I thought still giving 3-4% yield..not bad..

Excellent management, Excellent products..

Hardly any growth, difficulty to do capex, sector tailwind

(5/n)
In 2016 share price at 800 Rs.; EPS 72 Rs....

Fast forward 2020: share price at 700 Rs.; EPS 76 Rs.

5 year profit CAGR >> 0%

(6/n)
Case 3: ITC

High RoE cigarette business suffering...growth tapering...govt finds it lucrative to tax these companies heavily..

Price in 2016 ~250; Dividend >> 8; Yield ~3.2%

Fast forward 2020

Price 185; Dividend >> 10 Rs. Yield ~5.5%

5 years PAT CAGR > ~10%

(7/n)
What are the lessons here:

As an investor, growth and reinvestment of cashflows at high ROCE is what creates compounding engine for companies

Think about...

Why dividend is increasing or yield is high?

Due to lack of re-investment opportunities?

Headwinds in Industry?

(8/n)
Is the sector sunset sector? Is company just barely able to survive?

If it's re-investing cashflows, is it in high RoE segment or dull segment that sucks capital (eg. Hotel, Infra etc.)?

Is company facing too much of competition?

Is moat getting eroded?

(9/n)
If current growth is decent, why is market pricing company like this? What about future? Can I see good growth visibility? What are the triggers?
