Premium Brands Holdings Corp

Sound bite for Twitter and StockTwits is: Dividend Growth Consumer. Results of stock price testing is that the stock price is probably reasonable. Debt Ratios are fine. The Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) are fine. The current dividend yield is moderate with dividend growth moderate. See my spreadsheet on Premium Brands Holdings Corp .

Is it a good company at a reasonable price? This is the sort of stock I like as it is a dividend growth stock. It has done well for its shareholders and has a moderate dividend yield with moderate growth. The debt ratios and Dividend Payout Ratios are both fine. The stock price appears to be currently reasonable.

I do not own this stock of Premium Brands Holdings Corp (TSX-PBH, OTC-PRBZF). I was looking for another stock to follow and I found this is one of the top stocks in TD Bank's Canadian Equity Fund.

When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed that this company has had some good growth over the past 5 and 10 years. The total return in most long periods is also good. See chart below on total return.

Year Item Tot. Growth Per Year
5 Revenue Growth 174.29% 22.36%
5 FCF Growth 45.48% 7.79%
5 Net Income Growth 188.20% 23.58%

5 Dividend Growth 66.77% 10.77%
5 Stock Price Growth -20.24% -4.42%

If you had invested in this company in December 2012, for $1,011.85 you would have bought 59 shares at $17.15 per share. In December 2022, after 10 years you would have received $1,078.11 in dividends. The stock would be worth $4,854.52. Your total return would have been $5,932.63. This is a total return of 22.23% per year.

The current dividend yield is moderate with dividend growth moderate. The current dividend yield is moderate (2% to 4% ranges) at 2.95%. The 5 and 10 year dividend yields are also moderate at 2.34% and 2.68%. The Historical median dividend yield is good (5% to 6% ranges) at 5.81%. This company used to be an income trust and income trust had quite high dividend yields. The dividend growth is moderate (8% to 14% ranges) at 10.8% per year over the past 5 years.

The Dividend Payout Ratios (DPR) are fine. The DPR for 2022 for EPS is 77% with 5 year coverage at 81%. The DPR for 2022 for Adjusted Earnings per Share (AEPS) is 57% with 5 year coverage at 59%. The DPR for 2022 for Cash Flow per Share (CFPS) is 34% with 5 year coverage at 36%.

The DPR for Free Cash Flow (FCF) provided by the company is 43% with 5 year coverage at 42%. The DPR for Free Cash Flow, provided by some sites is negative currently with 5 year coverage at 551%. The problem with FCF is that all depends on how you calculate it. Often FCF varies greatly by which site you look at. My TD WebBroker goes with the company provided values, and that is good enough for me.

EPS 76.61% 80.52%
FCF Co. 42.67% 41.53%

The current dividend yield is 49% below the historical median dividend yield. This stock price testing suggests that the stock price is relatively expensive. The problem with this test is that this company used to be an income trust and income trust companies can have much higher and do have much higher dividend yields than corporations.

I get a 10 year median dividend yield of 5.68%. The current ratio is 2.95% based on dividends of $3.08 and a stock price of $104.53.

Results of stock price testing is that the stock price is probably reasonable. The 10 year median dividend yield test says that and it is confirmed by the P/S Ratio tests. Most of the rest of the testing is showing the stock as cheap or above and below the median or reasonable.

When I look at analysts’ recommendations, I find Buy (7) and Hold (2). The consensus would be a Buy. The 12 month stock price consensus is $114.22. This implies a total return of 40.92% with 37.97% from capital gains and 2.95% from dividends.
