Toronto Dominion Bank

On my other blog I am today writing about a dividend spreadsheet to track dividend payments...continue...

I own this stock of Toronto Dominion Bank (TSX-TD, NYSE-TD). I bought this stock in 2000 because the price was good. I have made 13.81% per year on this stock with 10.41% from capital gain and 3.40% from dividends. However, I have followed this stock for a long time, not just since when I bought it.

This stock also kept dividends level for a couple of years because of the 2008 bear market and following recession. The dividend growth over the past 5 and 10 years is at 6.49% and 9.94% per year. The 5 year dividend increase is quite good for a Canadian bank.

The 5 year median Dividend Payout Ratios are good coming in at 50% for earnings and 31% for cash flow. The DPRs for 2012 were 43% and 31% for earnings and cash flow. If dividends remain level in 2013 the DPRs would be 39% and 32% for earnings and cash flow and shows that there is room for more growth in dividends.

The 5 and 10 year total return to the end of 2012 was 7.19% and 13.34% per year with 3.8% and 9.43% from capital gains per year. The dividend portion of this return was 3.39% and 3.91% per year, respectively.

The outstanding dividends have been growing at the rate of 5.1% and 3.6% per year over the past 5 and 10 years. Growth is from DRIP, stock options and issuance of new shares.

Revenue is up by 3.77% and 6.16% per year over the past 5 and 10 years. Revenue per share is down over the past 5 years by 1.22% per year and is up over the past 10 years at 2.48% per year. Earnings per Share is up by 4.29% and 18.12% per year over the past 5 and 10 years.

Cash Flow per Share is up by 6.88% and 3.95% per year over the past 5 and 10 years and Book Value per Share is up 10.5% and 10.4% per year over the past 5 and 10 years. By far, BV is up the best.

The Return on Equity is good for this stock as it came in at 13.3% for the 2012 financial year and the 5 year median rate is 12.7%. The ROE on comprehensive income confirms the ROE on net income by coming in at 12.3% for the 2012 financial year and having a 5 year median rate of 12.5%.

The debt ratios are not bad for a bank and are quite typical with the Debt Ratio at 1.06% and the Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios at 18.38 and 17.27.

I have owned this stock for around 13 years and I am earning on my original investment a yield of 8.6%. At this rate after holding this stock for 20 years, I would expect to earnings over 13% on my original investment. (I talk about dividend yields on original investments on my site.)

However, I would expect to do better under this stock as the dividends were stalled for a few years in the time I held this stock. In 20 years' time I could possibly be getting 23 to 25% yield on my original investment. However, no one really knows what will happen in the future.

I am pleased this investment and I will continue to hold this stock. However, I will not be buying any more for the simple fact I have too much of this stock already in my portfolio.
