Andrew Peller Ltd

Sound bite for Twitter and StockTwits is: Dividend Growth Consumers. The stock price is probably cheap, so there is probably a good buying opportunity. Dividend Payout Ratios are expected to improve in the near future. Most debt ratios are fine, but the Liquidity Ratio is very good. See my spreadsheet on Andrew Peller Ltd.

Is it a good company at a reasonable price? The stock price is probably cheap. It is certainly below the median. For most years, shareholders have made a reasonable return. I think a reasonable long term return on a stock is a total return of 8% per year. You probably need to buy this stock at a low to get a good return. The stock is down recently, but so are most stocks.

I do not own this stock of Andrew Peller Ltd (TSX-ADW.A, OTC-ADWPF). This stock was on Mike Higgs' dividend growth stock list. I owned this stock as Andres Wines Ltd between 1996 and 2000. When I held this stock, it was called Andres Wines Ltd. This company has a Financial Year ending March 31 each year. The Financial year I am covering is for March 31, 2022.

When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed that the company did not have a good year in 2022. Sales were down, but most costs were up. This ended with EPS down some 55% from last year. There are few analysts following this stock.

If you had invested in this company in December 2011, $1001.30 you would have bought 323 shares at $3.10 per share. In December 2021, after 10 years you would have received $560.63 in dividends. The stock would be worth $2,635.68. Your total return would have been $3,196.31.

The DPR for Free Cash Flow (FCF) for 2022 is 463% with 5 year coverage at 64%. However, sites do not agree on what the FCF is.
