Molson Coors Canada

Sound bite for Twitter and StockTwits is: Dividend Paying Consumer. The stock price is probably cheap. The dividend yields are moderate with dividend growth restarted. The Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) are fine. Debt Ratios are fine but they have a low Liquidity Ratio. See my spreadsheet on Molson Coors Canada.

Is it a good company at a reasonable price? The stock price is probably cheap. This would not be my favourite consumer stock. Dividends are unstable. Total Returns have been very inconsistent.

I do not own this stock of Molson Coors Canada (TSX-TPX.B, NYSE-TAP). In 2008 I did a spreadsheet on this stock as it has recently been recommended and generally, beer companies make good money. Labatt’s was one of the original companies that I purchased and I did very well with it before it was bought out.

When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed that their intangibles items of the Balance Sheet are greater than the market cap of the stock. The Intangibles/Market Cap Ratio is 1.26. It means than the intangibles are on the Balance Sheet at a higher value of the market value of the stock. This is not good. They also have Goodwill on the Balance Sheet and the Goodwill/Market Cap Ratio is 0.63. If you add these ratios together, the ratio is 1.84.

They have been mucking around with dividends lately. Dividend changes from 2019 to 2022 are up 19.51%, down 70.92%, up 19.30%, and up 123.53%. In 2019 dividends were $1.96 and currently they are $1.52, some 22% below the 2019 dividends.

If you had invested in this company in December 2011, for $1,037.30 you would have bought 23 shares at $45.10 per share. In December 2021, after 10 years you would have received $388.76 in dividends. The stock would be worth $1,352.40. Your total return would have been $1,741.16.

The dividend yields are moderate with dividend growth restarted. The current dividend yield is moderate (2% to 4%) at 3.09%. The 10 year median dividend yields are also moderate at 2.17%. The 5 year and historical median dividend yields are low (below 2%) at 1.84% and 1.87%. The dividends were cut in 2020 and 2021. In 2021, only 2 dividends were paid. The dividends are down by the end of 2021 by 16% per year. In 2022, the dividends were increased 11.8% and 4 dividends will be paid.

The Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) are fine. The DPR for EPS for 2021 is 15% with 5 year coverage at 50%. The DPR for EPS is expected to be 45% in 2022 when 4 dividends are again paid. The DPR for Adjusted Earnings per Share (AEPS) for 2021 is 16% with 5 year coverage at 29%. The DPR for AEPS for 2022 is expected to be 39%. The DPR for Cash Flow per Share (CFPS) for 2021 is 7% with 5 year coverage at 13%. The DPR CFPS is expected to be 21% in 2022. The DPR for Free Cash Flow (FCF) for 2021 is 14% with 5 year coverage at 21%. The DPR for 2022 for FCF is expected to be 32%.

Debt Ratios are fine but they have a low Liquidity Ratio. The Long Term Debt/Market Cap Ratio for 2021 is 0.63. It is fine. The Liquidity Ratio for 2021 is low at 0.77. If you add in Cash Flow after dividends, it is still low at 1.16. I prefer this to be at 1.50 or higher. The Debt Ratio is good at 1.98. The Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios are fine at 2.06 and 1.04.

Results of stock price testing is that the stock price is probably cheap. I did most of the testing in US$ because it trades most often in US$ as TAP. The dividend yield tests say the stock price is cheap and this is confirmed by the P/S Ratio test. Other tests say it is reasonable or cheap.

This implies a total return 15.17% with 12.07% from capital gains and 3.09% from dividends based on a current stock price of $49.12 US$.

There is only one comment for 2022 on Stock Chase. Stock Chase gives this stock 1 star out of 5. It is not on the Money Sense List. Travis Hoium on Motley Fool talks about why this stock fell in August 2022. It is not good news. Tony Dong on Motley Fool talks about why he thinks this stock is not a buy. The company put out a Press Release on their fourth quarter results. The company put out a Press Release on their results for the second quarter of 2022.

Simply Wall Street reviews this stock on Yahoo Finance. They do not care much for this stock either. They give out two warnings signs of has a high level of debt; and unstable dividend track record.
