Stingray Digital Group Inc

Sound bite for Twitter and StockTwits is: Dividend Growth Consumer. The stock price is relatively cheap. Debt Ratios need improving. Dividends have been flat lately because they the DPR was getting too high. See my spreadsheet on Stingray Digital Group Inc.

Is it a good company at a reasonable price? The stock price is currently cheap. I own shares in my TFSA, which is my fooling around money. I bought some more shares in this company today for my TFSA account. This stock is about music and I do not think that people are going to stop listening to music.

I own this stock of Stingray Digital Group Inc (TSX-RAY.A, OTC-NONE). I was following Newfoundland Capital Corp and Stingray Bought them out. Also, I read the blub on CEO, Eric Boyko. The site says he is an entrepreneur with nearly two decades of experience with start-ups. Mr. Boyko has extensive expertise in early stage business innovations. The financial year for this company ends at March 31 each year, so the annual report I am looking at is for March 31, 2022.

When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed there is insider buying and this is always a good thing. I have not done well on this stock to June 2022. I have a negative total return of 3.74% with a capital loss of 7.97% and dividends of 4.23%. This is after holding this stock for 4 years.

If you had invested in this company in December 2014, $1000.50 you would have bought 138 shares at $7.25 per share. In December 2021, after 7 years you would have received $216.66 in dividends. The stock would be worth $216.66. Your total return would have been $1097.10.

The dividend yields are moderate with dividend growth moderate. The current dividend yield is good (5% to 6% ranges) at 4.84%. The 5 and 6 year median dividend yields are moderate (2% to 4% ranges) at 4.12% and 2.82%. The Dividend growth over the past 5 years has been moderate (8% to 14% ranges) at 14% per year. The last dividend increase occurred in 2020 and it was for 7.1%. Dividends have been flat since 2020 and analysts do not expect any increases over the next 3 years.

The Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) are fine. The DPR for EPS for 2022 is 64% with 5 year coverage at 119%. The DPR for Adjusted Earnings per Share (AEPS) is 38% with 5 year coverage at 39%. The DPR for Cash Flow per Share (CFPS) is 24% with 5 year coverage at 25%. The 33% with 5 year coverage at 35%.

Debt Ratios need improving. The Long Term Debt/Market Cap is 0.65. It rises to 0.82 in 2023. This is because of a drop in the stock price. This is higher than I like to see. The Liquidity Ratio for 2022 is 0.87. If you add in Cash Flow after dividends, it is just 1.34. I prefer this ratio to be 1.50 or higher. The Debt Ratio for 2022 is 1.45 and I also prefer this to be 1.50 or higher. The Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios are 3.23 and 2.23. I prefer these to be below 3.00 and below 2.00

The Total Return per year is shown below for years of 5 to 7 to the end of 2021. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See chart below.

Results of stock price testing is that the stock price is relatively cheap. The dividend yield test shows this and it is confirmed by the P/S Ratio test. All the other tests are pointing to the stock price as being relatively cheap.

When I look at analysts’ recommendations, I find Strong Buy (2) and Buy (3). The consensus would be a Strong Buy. The 12 month stock price consensus is $8.00. This implies a Total Return of 33.87% with 29.03% from capital gains and 4.84% from dividends based on a stock price of $6.20.
