Recently, medical devices major Boston Scientific Corporation ( BSX ) rounded off patient enrollment for the EVOLVE II trial, to evaluate its Synergy Stent System.
The company expected to complete enrollment by the third quarter of 2013. This is a breakthrough for the company to gain regulatory clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Synergy Stent System.
The EVOLVE II clinical trial is a randomized, controlled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and patient safety of the Synergy Stent System for the treatment of atherosclerotic coronary lesions. Not only will the results from the clinical study support Boston Scientific's effort to obtain approval in the U.S., it will also back the company's attempt to gain regulatory clearance in the high focus Japanese market.
The Synergy Stent System is already available in Europe as it gained the CE Mark approval in Oct 2012. Positive results from the erstwhile EVOLVE study fetched the CE Mark approval for the company.
Following clearance in Europe, Boston Scientific's EVOLVE II trial commenced in Nov 2012. The study enrolled 1,684 patients at 125 sites across the globe. These sites are located in the U.S., Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Europe. The enrolled patients will be observed for five years.
The principal investigator of the EVOLVE II study believes that the trial results will support the use of Synergy Stent System for optimal vessel healing. Built on market leading technology, the stent is perceived to be the most flexible, conformable and deliverable drug eluting stent (DES).
We believe that the DES market offers a promising growth opportunity for Boston Scientific. We note that revenues from the company's DES business recorded a downfall in the last quarter. This was mainly due to softness in the U.S. market due to reduced market share from tough competition and pricing pressure across Europe.
We believe successful commercialization of the Synergy stent will enable Boston Scientific to strengthen its DES product portfolio. The commercialization of the Synergy Stent System should also lend some upside against competitive headwinds in the domestic market.
On the other hand, the DES business continued its robust performance in emerging markets. Management considers that DES business can offer the biggest opportunity in the emerging markets. The combined DES market is estimated at $700 million with a 20% growth rate. Evidently, Boston Scientific has several catalysts to tap the lucrative market opportunity in the DES space.
The stock currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Other Zacks Rank #2 medical stocks that warrant a look are Exactech Inc. ( EXAC ) and LeMaitre Vascular, Inc. ( LMAT ). We believe that Alere Inc. ( ALR ), carrying a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) is also worth considering.

Hidden Value In Small-Cap Dividends, Via This WisdomTree ETF

By Morningstar :
By Alex Bryan
Holdings can say a lot about a fund's investment style, but they don't always tell you everything. Take WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend ETF( DES ) for example. It invests in dividend-paying small-cap companies that meet certain liquidity requirements. It then weights them by the dollar value of dividends they are expected to pay out over the next year. While its holdings skew toward the small-value side of the Morningstar Style Box, on average they trade at richer valuations than the holdings of its peers, which explicitly target small-value stocks (see the Portfolio Characteristics table below). Yet, since its inception in July 2006, DES has behaved like a deeper value fund than nearly all of its peers.
The fund's performance revealed its true colors. Just a few factors can explain most of the returns on a broad stock portfolio, including the portfolio's sensitivity to the market, value, momentum, and small-cap premiums. These are well-documented sources of return. Value stocks tend to outperform growth stocks, small caps tend to do better than large caps, and stocks with high momentum continue to outpace their low-momentum counterparts. By regressing a fund's returns on each of these factors, we can evaluate where its returns actually come from. For instance, if a fund does well when value stocks do well, then it behaves like a value fund, even if it doesn't own value stocks.
The following table illustrates the results of this analysis for DES and four of its peers, using data from July 2006 through June 2013. The coefficients from the regression in the table represent the corresponding fund's sensitivity to each premium. For example, a value coefficient of 1.0 indicates that the fund tends to increase in value by 1% when deep-value stocks outperform high-growth stocks by 1%, holding all other factors constant.
(click to enlarge)
Although DES doesn't specifically target value stocks, it exhibited the greatest sensitivity to the value premium--nearly twice that of Vanguard Small Cap Value ETF( VBR ) , which owns the cheaper half of the U.S. small-cap market. iShares Russell 2000 Value IndexETF ( IWN ) offers similar exposure to VBR. It even has a stronger value tilt than DFA US Small Cap Value Fund( DFSVX ) and iShares Morningstar Small Value Index ETF( JKL ) , which target the cheapest fourth and third of the small-cap market, respectively.
DES' dividend-weighting approach may offer a partial explanation. When it rebalances, the fund increases its exposure to stocks that have become cheaper relative to their dividends and pares back on those that have become more expensive, regardless of where these holdings fall in the style box. This dynamic approach may allow the fund to capture the value premium more effectively than many of its peers. Some stocks clearly warrant higher valuations than others, either because they carry less risk, greater profitability, or faster growth (though the latter is often overvalued). Consequently, many stocks that trade with low valuations are fairly priced. The fund's dividend-weighting approach offers a stronger bet on mean reversion than targeting stocks trading at low valuations, as many of its peers do. It keeps some traditional growth and blend stocks in the portfolio but allows investors to profit when these stocks are temporarily mispriced. In this way, the fund's rebalancing approach more closely resembles the way that active managers think about value than traditional value index funds.
The fund's narrow focus on dividends also enhances its sensitivity to the value premium. Despite their size, small-cap dividend-paying stocks also tend to be more mature than their non-dividend-paying counterparts. For instance, the fund's top holding, R.R. Donnelley( RRD ) , operates in the declining printing industry and has experienced flat sales growth and declining profits over the past three years. Lexmark International(LXK) and cigarette maker Vector Group(VGR) , also among the fund's top holdings, face similar low-growth environments. Many of these holdings may be forced to cut their dividends during recessions. However, they offer attractive compensation for this risk and may have a better chance of beating the market's expectations than their faster-growing peers.
A Steady Stream of Benefits
Dividend investing has a lot to recommend it. Although capital gains drive short-term performance, dividends increase in importance with the length of the investment horizon. Dividend-paying stocks have historically generated superior returns than non-dividend-paying stocks in most markets and time periods studied, with less risk. This may be partially because dividends impose greater discipline on managers by reducing their capacity to engage in value-destructive empire-building. Growth can be tantalizing. Manager compensation is often positively correlated with firm size. Armed with a large pile of cash, managers may be tempted to expand the business through investments in risky projects and acquisitions, even when doing so is not in shareholders' best interests. Dividend payments reduce firms' access to easy capital and create a higher hurdle to undertake new projects, which can benefit shareholders.
Managers can also use dividends to signal their confidence in their firms' future business prospects, particularly when they raise these payments. In a study published in 2006, Ping Zhou and William Ruland found that stocks with higher dividend payouts also experienced faster earnings growth. While this study only covered dividend-paying stocks, it is consistent with a signaling story. Investors tend to severely punish companies that cut their dividends. Consequently, managers are reluctant to commit to dividend payments unless they are confident they will be able to honor them over the full business cycle. Because of this constraint, dividend paying stocks tend to be more profitable and generate more-stable cash flows than non-dividend-paying firms. For instance, the average return on invested capital of the fund's holdings (6.1%) dwarfs the corresponding figure on the Russell 2000 Value Index (1.2%).
Therefore, it shouldn't be surprising that the fund exhibited a lower downside capture ratio than both its peer group and the Russell 2000 Value Index over the past five years. It was also slightly less volatile than the small-value category average during that time. Dividends help dampen the fund's volatility because investors immediately benefit from these payments, while there is more uncertainty about the value of future growth. Although some firms may cut their dividends during recessions, dividends tend to be more stable than earnings. Investors in this fund will be paid to wait out the bad times.
While large-cap dividend-paying stocks tend to be more stable and have greater capacity to weather recessions than their small-cap counterparts, the fund has two things going for it. First, it offers a more attractive dividend yield than WisdomTree LargeCap Dividend(DLN) . But more importantly, the value premium has historically been larger among small-cap stocks. Wall Street analysts do not cover many of these firms, so there is a greater potential for mispricing. However, that also exposes investors to greater risk.
Although chasing yield can skew a portfolio toward low-quality holdings, the fund's dividend-weighting approach helps limit this risk because it allows both firm size and yield to influence each holding's weighting in the portfolio. This hybrid approach reduces the weighting of distressed companies in the portfolio relative to a more naive yield-weighting formula.
Nuts and Bolts
The fund tracks the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index, which represents the smallest 25% of the broad WisdomTree Dividend Index by market cap, after the largest 300 companies have been removed. This broad reach sweeps in more than 600 small-cap dividend-paying stocks. WisdomTree weights each holding according to the dollar value of dividends it is expected to pay out over the next year relative to aggregate value of all the companies in the index, based on the most recent dividend. For example, a stock that pays out $2 million in dividends will receive twice the weight as a firm that pays out $1 million. The index is rebalanced annually. Relative to the Russell 2000 Value Index, the fund overweights industrials, consumer defensive, and utilities stocks, and significantly underweights financials.
Investors who find this approach appealing will have to put up with a 0.38% expense ratio. That's not bad, considering the fund's high sensitivity to the value premium. However, investors looking for a more-moderate value tilt can find cheaper alternatives, such as Vanguard SmallCap Value (0.10% expense ratio).
Other Alternatives
WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend ETF(DLS) (0.58% expense ratio) and WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend ETF(DGS) (0.68% expense ratio) offer the same approach as DES in developed and emerging markets, respectively.
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid ETF(PRFZ) (0.39% expense ratio) offers an alternative fundamental weighting approach. It weights its holdings based on historical dividends, sales, book value, and earnings. This gives PRFZ a broader portfolio with a lower dividend yield. It is also less sensitive to the value premium than DES.

WisdomTree Launches Small Cap Dividend Growth ETF - ETF News And Commentary

A banner year for WisdomTree-largely thanks to their incredible level of success with their hedged Japan fund DXJ -has translated into a number of new product launches as the company seeks to strike gold again with a new fund.
In fact, WisdomTree has now launched as many products this year as they have in the previous two combined, suggesting that they are looking to duplicate their recent success with more innovative ETFs .
The latest addition to this surging issuer's lineup is back in the domestic market, focusing on small caps. However, the new product looks to offer up fresh exposure to the space, targeting stocks that are growing dividends, marking the first time that this has been tried with U.S. small caps in ETF form (Read 3 Red Hot Dividend ETFs ).
Dividend Growth ETF in Focus
The new ETF goes by the name of the U.S. SmallCap Dividend Growth Fund (DGRS) and follows the WisdomTree U.S. SmallCap Dividend Growth Index. This benchmark seeks to follow the bottom 25% of the market capitalization of the WisdomTree Dividend Index after the 300 largest companies have been removed.
From here, the top 50% of companies with the best combined rank of growth and quality factors are selected for inclusion in the benchmark. Growth factors include long term earnings growth expectations, while quality factors include 3 year averages for ROE and ROA. The resulting portfolio consists of about 170 stocks, and it costs investors 38 basis points a year in fees.
In terms of holdings, the ETF is well spread out among individual components, while there is a decent size allocation to mid caps, despite the small cap focus. For sectors, industrials and consumer discretionary combine to take up nearly 50% of the portfolio, followed by double digit allocations (roughly 13% each) to materials and technology (read 3 Important Questions to Ask About Your ETF Portfolio ).
"A number of dividend growth indexes focus on backward-looking dividend-screening criteria that we believe exclude many dividend initiators and fast-growers that are often found in the small-cap arena,' said Jeremy Schwartz, WisdomTree's Director of Research in a press release. "DGRS is the first, and only, strategy focusing on the U.S. market's small-cap dividend growth leaders, a segment we believe offers some of the most attractive dividend growth opportunities."
How Does It Fit in a Portfolio?
This ETF may be appropriate for dividend and growth focused investors who are already heavily exposed to large cap securities, and are looking for a small cap complement. It could also be an interesting addition for those seeking a new way to target domestic stocks, or at least firms that have among the least international exposure (read 3 Bank ETFs Leading the Pack this Earnings Season ).
On the other hand, the fund may not be appropriate for investors seeking a broadly diversified play on the small cap segment, as roughly half the portfolio is in high beta sectors. Additionally, due to the focus on growth-for at least half the portfolio-the dividend yield may not be that high for the ETF, so it may not be a true income destination.
ETF Competition
Since no other ETF currently on the market has both a dividend and a growth focus on small caps, comparisons are tough for this new ETF. However, there are a few other small cap ETFs to be aware of in the space.
In particular, WisdomTree's own DES also focuses on small caps, zeroing in on dividend payers. In the growth market, there are a more choices, such as IWO , VBK , and IJT , all of which are billion dollar ETFs that have a growth focus.
Still, these are obviously different than DGRS and its multi-faceted focus so it is hard to compare. However, it is worth noting that DES also has more than $800 million in assets, so clearly there is a ton of interest in small caps be it in dividends or in growth (see 3 Small Cap ETFs with Impressive Yields ).
Bottom Line
DGRS is an interesting choice, and a novel way to target small caps for growth focused investors. The fund will face some stiff competition though, so it will be interesting to see if investors embrace this model for their portfolios, or if investors will stick to large caps for their growth and income needs.
The technique has already made inroads in other corners of the market though, so one has to imagine that after some time, DGRS will be able to attract a decent level of assets too.

Shares of Avery Dennison Corporation ( AVY ) reached a new 52-week high of $45.02 on July 8, surpassing the previous high of $44.92. The new high is based on the expected benefits from its restructuring initiatives and divestiture of underperforming businesses.
The Pasadena, CA-based pressure-sensitive materials producer, which has a market cap of roughly $4.47 billion, has delivered a robust one-year return of about 69.2% and year-to-date return of about 30.4%, outperforming the S&P 500. The company's long-term estimated earnings per share growth rate is 14.4%. Average volume of shares traded over the last three months is approximately 685K.
Avery's Strengths
Avery has divested both its Office and Consumer Products (OCP) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (DES) units. The segments have been struggling for a long time. With the divestiture, Avery is now able to focus on its market-leading, pressure sensitive materials business and Retail Branding and Information Solutions segment. This will also help it in attaining financial targets of double-digit earnings growth and higher returns.
Avery has aggressively implemented a restructuring program to reduce costs across all business segments. The program is anticipated to be completed by mid 2013. Avery expects to save more than $100 million annually by leveraging this program by mid 2013.
Avery's adjusted earnings increased 37% year over year to 59 cents per share in first-quarter 2013 and revenues rose 4% year over year to $1.5 billion. Avery also hiked its quarterly dividend by 7%, from 27 cents per share to 29 cents per share.
Avery remains committed to its long-term targets of sales growth in the range of 3% to 5% and net income growth of 10-15% by 2015. Earnings growth of 15-20% is expected to be achieved through continued development in emerging markets and productivity improvements.
In addition, the company expects to generate free cash flow of around $1.2 billion to $1.4 billion over the 2012-2015 timeframe or $1.6 billion to $1.8 billion (including $400 million from the abovementioned sale). Of this, $150 million to $300 million will be used to repay debt, more than $200 million will be invested in acquisitions and $1 billion to $1.5 billion will be returned to shareholders over the period in combined share buyback and dividends.
Avery currently retains a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).
Other Stocks to Consider
Other stocks in the same industry with favorable Zacks Rank are Energizer Holdings Inc. ( ENR ), CompX International Inc. ( CIX ) and Herman Miller Inc. ( MLHR ). While Energizer Holdings holds a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), CompX International and Herman Miller carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

Avery Dennison Corporation ( AVY ) divested both its Office and Consumer Products (OCP) and Designed and Engineered Solutions (DES) businesses to CCL Industries Inc., a global leader in specialty packaging solutions, for $500 million.
The transaction is subject to customary closing adjustments, but it is expected to be finalized in the third quarter. The net sale proceeds of approximately $400 million will be utilized to repurchase shares and contribute toward an additional pension plan.
Avery's Office and Consumer Products segment has been struggling for a long time. The business was affected by weak end-market demand and increased competition. Increased investment in demand creation, consumer promotions and innovation, as well as lower volume hampered margins. In Dec 2011, Avery had first entered into an agreement to sell the segment for approximately $550 million to 3M Co. ( MMM ).
However, the deal was scrapped in October last year and Avery continued to search for a prospective buyer for the business. In Jan 2013, Avery agreed to divest the segment along with its Designed and Engineered Solutions businesses to CCL Industries Inc.
With the divestiture of the weaker Office Products business, Avery will be able to focus on its market-leading, pressure-sensitive materials business and Retail Branding and Information Solutions segment.
In order to attain its financial targets of double-digit earnings growth and higher returns, Avery aggressively implemented a restructuring program in the second quarter of 2012 to reduce cost across all the business segments.
The program is anticipated to be completed by mid-2013. Avery expects to save more than $100 million annually by leveraging this program by mid-2013.
Avery remains committed to its long-term targets (by 2015) of sales growth in the range of 3% to 5% and net income growth of 10-15%. Earnings per share growth of 15-20% is expected to be achieved through continued growth in emerging markets and productivity improvements.
In addition, the company expects to generate free cash flow of around $1.2 billion - $1.4 billion over the 2012-2015 timeframe or $1.6 billion -$1.8 billion (including $400 million from the abovementioned sale). This will be utilized toward - $150-300 million in debt repayment, more than $200 million for acquisitions and $1-1.5 billion will be returned to shareholders over the period in combined share buyback and dividends.

'Bernanke-Proof' Your Portfolio With These Dividend Growers

Will interest rates continue their recent ascent?
If so, many investors will come to question the wisdom of holding dividend-payingstocks . After all,bonds andCDs are virtually riskless, and if they sport more attractive yields, why bother with riskier stocks?
The simple reason: Interest rates (such as on the 10-yearTreasury note ) are unlikely to move past 4%, as I noted recently.
Anystock with ayield above that threshold should still hold appeal -- as long as thatdividend doesn't look vulnerable to a reduction or elimination in a changing economic environment.
Yet there is a whole different type of income-producing stocks that fail to meet that 4% yield threshold but should still hold great appeal. These are the stocks with fairly low yields right now but look poised for robust growth, which should set the stage for future yields well above 4%, using today's prices as abasis .
Notes From The Guru
Over the past six months, I've been eagerly awaiting the latest newsletterissues from my colleague Amy Calistri, author of StreetAuthority's Daily Paycheck . Amy has been spelling out a game plan for how to deal with the inevitable rise in interest rates that may now be underway, helping readers to separate winners from losers in a higher-rate environment.
In her most recentissue to subscribers, Amy focuses on anexchange-traded fund (ETF) that should fare quite well, even as rates rise higher. Thecurrent yield on thisETF is around 3.5%, which is below the 4% level I noted earlier.
Yet here's the rub: This ETF is chock-full of companies that are boosting their dividends at a fast pace, and a 3.5% yield today could easily morph into a 5% yield in a few years and a 7% or 8% yield in half a decade.
The combination of solid current and future dividend streams and potentially robust priceappreciation makes me think Amy has delivered another winning pick to her subscribers.
There's another reason to focus on dividend growth: "Companies with a long history of dividend growth display high returns onequity (ROE)," according to WisdomTree's head of research, Jeremy Schwartz. The databear that out: The companies in the widely followed NASDAQ USDividend Achievers Index had a 22% annual ROE over the past 10 years, according to Schwartz, compared with 13% annual ROE for all companies in the S&P 500.
Other Options
I can't share Amy's dividend growth-oriented ETF pick, as that would be unfair to her current subscribers, but I can share some similarinvesting options thatcapitalize on this theme.
WisdomTree -- which has pursued the dividend angle for a number of years withfunds such as WisdomTreeEmerging Markets SmallCapDividend ETF ( DGS ) and the WisdomTree LargeCap Dividend ETF ( DLN ) -- recently pursued the growth angle with a newly launched ETF, the WisdomTree U.S. Dividend Growth ETF (Nasdaq: DGRW) .
Thisfund uses an index-based approach to select the top companies in a 1,330-stock universe interms of dividend growth, sustainability of those dividends (in terms of apayout ratio above 1.0) and current yield. Tech stocks represent the largest weighting of any sector, at around 20%.
And that makes sense: The number of dividend-paying technology firms in the S&P 500 has shot up by one-third since 2010, according to S&PCapital IQ 's Scott Kessler, who runs that firm's technology research department. "You need to think about the tech sector as being uniquely positioned for robust dividend growth in the years ahead," he adds. (Here's a hint: Amy Calistri's newsletter readers are well aware of that looming trend.) Along with tech, industrials, consumer discretionary stocks andconsumer cyclical stocks are the primary focus.
My primary complaint with this fund is that it is focused only on large firms (each component has amarket value of at least $2 billion). Smaller companies are often capable of even more robust dividend growth as they can tend to be earlier in their life cycle.
There is the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend ETF ( DES ) , but this doesn't really have the dividend growth orientation that we're talking about. The fund's 0.28%expense ratio is respectable, but cheaper options are available. (Note that according to recent filings, Wisdom Tree indeed appears to be poised to launch a small-cap version of the dividend growth ETF.)
The VanguardOption
For the ultra-low-cost approach, check out the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF ( VIG ) , which owns companies with a history of 10 straight years of dividend growth. This approach brings two small drawbacks.
First, any companies that were forced to reduce or eliminate their dividend during the financial crisis of 2008 won't be here, even though a number of these companies are now back on track with solid divided boosts.
Second, it ignores the wide variety of tech stocks that only began paying dividends in recent years. For example, Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) won't be in this fund for another decade.
Still, the Vanguard fund has real strengths. In giving the fund a five-starrating , Morningstaranalysts noted: "Whereas many dividend-focused funds concentrate in smaller value companies, this fund shades slightly toward growth. VIG is a great choice for a core allocation."
Moreover, like many Vanguard funds, the 0.13% expense ratio is quite pleasing, so your long-termgains won't be diverted away to the fund company's coffers.
The PowerShares Dividend Achievers ETF ( PFM ) and the First Trust Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index (FDL) have a similar focus to the Vanguard fund, though they carry higher expense ratios of 0.60%, and 0.45%, respectively.
Risks to Consider: Dividend growers should relatively greater appeal than companies and funds that have limited growth prospects, but all equity-basedincome producers may sell off iffixed-income rates move sharply higher.
Action to Take --> Though rates are coming up off of generational lows, they are unlikely to rise much higher, killing the dividend party. Instead, assume a moderate move up in rates over time that still leaves plenty of room for robust dividend growers in your portfolio as well.

Three Small-Cap ETFs For The Second Half

Are investors losing faith in small-cap stocks? A look at some of the major ETFs that track small market capitalization fare reveals some interesting clues.
For example, the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (NYSE: IWM ), the largest small-cap ETF by assets, has lost one percent since May 20. On the other hand, the ETF saw inflows of nearly $988 million last week alone .
Granted, it is just one week, but $988 million in new assets in a week's time is a stellar run for any ETF. In the case of IWM, it could be a sign that investors are expecting stocks to avoid the usual summer doldrums and keep rising over the next several months.
If small-caps renew their status as a leadership or merely perform inline with an up-trending broader market, investors may want to consider the following ETFs as alternatives or complements to IWM.
Vanguard S&P Small-Cap 600 Growth ETF (NYSE: VIOG ) When it comes to Vanguard small-cap funds, it is the Vanguard Small-Cap ETF (NYSE: VB ) that most investors are familiar. Like IWM, VB focuses on a wide range of small-caps. The unheralded VIOG focuses explicitly on growth stocks. Obviously, that means growth stocks need to be in favor for VIOG to outperform the likes of IWM and VB.
This year, VIOG has slightly lagged VB, but there is potential for second-half upside with the former. VIOG devotes a combined 61 percent of its weight to the technology, financial services and consumer discretionary sectors, implying this ETF is ideally situated to take advantage of a legitimate cyclical rotation. Cost-conscious investors will enjoy the fact that VIOG charges just 0.2 percent per year, making the ETF less expensive than 86 percent of comparable funds, according to Vanguard .
PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio (NASDAQ: PRFZ ) The PowerShares FTSE RAFI US 1500 Small-Mid Portfolio is a mixture of small- and mid-cap firms, although the average market value of the ETF's 1,488 holdings is firmly in small-cap territory at nearly $1.6 billion. Still, the mid-cap exposure is useful for at least on thing with PRFZ: The ETF has been slightly less volatile than IWM this year.
PRFZ is a fundamentally-weighted ETF, a methodology that has been validated by other ETFs across various cap weightings and investment themes. PRFZ's constituents are selected based on book value, cash flow, sales and dividends. This year, that methodology has made a difference as PRFZ has outpaced IWM by about 170 basis points.
Like VIOG, PRFZ is heavy on financials, consumer discretionary and tech names as those sectors combine for about 57 percent of the ETF's weight. Assets under management: $601.1 million. Fees: 0.39 percent per year.
WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund (NYSE: DES ) Small-caps are not always the first place income investors go searching for dividends, but the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund does offer a viable way of getting compensated for embracing small stocks.
The 11.25 percent weight to utilities in an environment where interest rates appear poised to rise is concerning, but only on the surface. That utilities exposure is more than tempered by the weights DES devotes to higher-beta sectors. Financials, discretionary and industrials comprise over 57 percent of this ETF's weight.
Again, it is about the dividends with DES. The ETF delivers a monthly payout and its current 30-day SEC yield of 3.03 percent is more than double that of IWM.

Dividends on common stocks are not set in stone. Companies can reduce or take away shareholder dividends at their discretion.
For this reason, owning a basket of income stocks through an exchange traded fund or ETF makes sense.The WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund ( DES ) andMidCap Dividend Fund ( DON ) offer above-market yields and a greater chance of getting a consistent dividend.
WisdomTree's SmallCap Dividend Fund tracks the performance of the company's SmallCap Dividend Index. Investment research firm Morningstar gives the ETF four stars out of five.
Unlike most companies or other ETFs , the WisdomTree SmallCap fund pays dividends on a monthly basis. It switched to monthly payouts in November.
The ETF has a yield of about 3% vs. around 2.5% for the S&P 500.
R.R. Donnelley ( RRD ),Vector Group ( VGR ) andTal International ( TAL ) are its biggest holdings.
WisdomTree's MidCap Dividend Fund tracks the company's MidCap Dividend Index. This ETF is also rated four out of five stars by Morningstar.
It pays dividends on a monthly basis, too. It has a yield of about 2.7%.
Windstream (WIN),Ameren (AEE) andPitney Bowes (PBI) are its top three holdings.
Both ETFs will dole out their next distributions March 28 to shareholders of record on March 26.
While most ETFs use market cap for their weightings, WisdomTree doesn't. Its dividend-focused funds are weighted by the annual dollar amount of dividends (dividend per share times number of shares outstanding) that a company is expected to pay for the year relative to the projected dividend stream from all index companies.

Following Medtronic's ( MDT ) receipt of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for its longer sized Resolute Integrity drug-eluting stent (DES) with an indication for patients with diabetes, recently the company again received CE Mark approvals for a favorable labeling update on the Resolute Integrity DES with new information on dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). The approvals reflect that the company is working in the right direction to strengthen its coronary business.
According to the updated label, interruption/ discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), any time after one month of stent implantation, involves low risk and no increased risk for stent thrombosis. The CE Mark approval was the result of a one year independent analysison DAPT.
The analysis considered 5,000 patients with implanted stents from the global RESOLUTE Clinical Program. The study showed that the first 30 days of the implant procedure involves greater risk of stent thrombosis due to DAPT interruption. However, as this one-month period is over, the risk reduces with no increased risk for cardiac death or target vessel myocardial infarction.
Medtronic's focus on portfolio upgrade and expansion is inevitable in the face of severe headwinds in its core segments of stents and defibrillators. Other players in the medical devices space such as Boston Scientific ( BSX ) and St Jude Medical ( STJ ) are also resorting to various alternatives to revive their flagging top line.
In this regard, we note that earlier Boston scientific received CE Mark approval for a label change showing low risk after three months of dual antiplatelet therapy. This leading major also received approval from the FDA for longer lengths of the Promus Element Plus stent.
Despite headwinds such as unfavorable currency movement and global economic uncertainties, Medtronic is enjoying market share gain on the back of the Resolute Integrity drug-eluting stent under the CardioVascular franchise. Given the burgeoning diabetic population in the U.S., the approval should drive utilization rates. Acceptance of the new sizes of the stent should bolster growth of the franchise for the company.
Estimate revision trend for Medtronic's ongoing and next fiscal reflects a glaring lack of clarity. Accordingly, the stock carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). While we have a non-committal stance on Medtronic, one of the medical stocks carrying a favorable Zacks Rank is Cyberonics ( CYBX ). This stock carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy).

The Forgotten Dividend ETFs

Dividend exchange traded funds have undoubtedly become an important part of the overall ETF landscape.
Rapid proliferation of this ETF sub-segment has ensured that investors can access everything from ETFs tracking stocks with lengthy dividend streaks to low volatility and high yield fare as well .
Thing is most ETFs focused on U.S. equities are heavy on large-caps. The phenomenon is a curious one because at the international level, some ETFs offering exposure to small-caps have proven quite successful .
Even more curious is that despite the fact that mid- and small-cap ETFs combined each have about $60 billion in assets under management, these capitalization segments are arguably underrepresented in the dividend ETF realm.
"Yet while U.S.-based dividend ETFs collectively represent almost $49 billion in assets, or about 9% of U.S. equity assets under management, there are less than $1 billion combined in the mid- and small-cap dividend category," WisdomTree Research Director Jeremy Schwartz said in a research note.
Schwartz notes there "is more than $10.5 billion invested in either ETFs or exchange-traded notes tracking the performance of the Alerian MLP Index, and more than $20 billion in ETFs designed to track the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index and the MSCI U.S. REIT Index," statistics that serve as a reminder regarding how much income investors have embraced MLPs and REITs in recent years.
The combined market capitalization of those three indexes is $1.37 trillion, a fair bit below the $1.52 trillion market capitalization of the WisdomTree MidCap Index (WTMDI). The WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index tracks a combined market capitalization of over $511 billion, according to WisdomTree .
The WisdomTree MidCap Dividend Fund (NYSE: DON ) tracks the aforementioned mid-cap index. DON, which debuted in 2006 and now has almost $472 million in assets, features a decent 30-day SEC yield of just over three percent.
As is the case with all of WisdomTree's U.S.-focused equity dividend ETFs , DON pays a monthly dividend. Notable is the fact that DON's index does not screen based on yield or dividend increase streaks.
Rather, the WisdomTree MidCap Index is "dividend weighted annually to reflect the proportionate share of the aggregate cash dividends each component company is projected to pay in the coming year," according to the issuer.
Financials account for almost 25.6 percent of DON's sector weight and top-10 holdings include Windstream (NYSE: WIN ), Best Buy (NYSE: BBY ) and Western Union (NYSE: WU ).
As for income investors looking for domestic small-cap exposure, the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund (NYSE: DES ) is the ETF to consider. DES, which also debuted in 2006 and now has over $474 million in AUM, uses the same screening methodology as DON and also pays a monthly dividend.
Returns prove small-cap dividends can be rewarding. Over the past two years, DES has outpaced the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (NYSE: IWM ) by nearly 800 basis points while being less volatile than IWM.
DES has a 25.4 percent allocation to financials. Top holdings include RR Donnelley (NYSE: RRD ), Vector Group (NYSE: VGR ) and Tal International (NYSE: TAL ).
"We recognize the inherent differences in methodology and market segments between these particular indexes, but we feel that the one common element-that many people consider these types of asset classes, be it real estate, REITS, MLPs and dividends-as income generators," said Schwartz. "Through the common theme of 'income generation,' we believe there is merit to the comparison, but we acknowledge that people should consider the differences in potential risk profiles between these asset classes when conducting any analysis."

As for income investors looking for domestic small-cap exposure, the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund (NYSE: DES ) is the ETF to consider. Even more curious is that despite the fact that mid- and small-cap ETFs combined each have about $60 billion in assets under management, these capitalization segments are arguably underrepresented in the dividend ETF realm. Schwartz notes there "is more than $10.5 billion invested in either ETFs or exchange-traded notes tracking the performance of the Alerian MLP Index, and more than $20 billion in ETFs designed to track the Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index and the MSCI U.S. REIT Index," statistics that serve as a reminder regarding how much income investors have embraced MLPs and REITs in recent years.

Weekly Healthcare Note: Pfizer, JNJ, Abbott Labs & UnitedHealth

The past week was handful of events for the healthcare sector. First, Pfizer ( PFE ) received much awaited FDA approval for its blockbuster potential blood thinner drug, Eliquis. Healthcare conglomerate Johnson & Johnson ( JNJ ) followed the same with an early FDA nod for its experimental TB drug Bedaquiline or Sirturo. Abbott Labs ( ABT ) started the new year by completing its much touted spin-off into two separate companies. In addition, the company received FDA approval for its next generation Xience Xpedition drug eluting stent ( DES ). Meanwhile, UnionHealth Group ( UNH ) stock plummeted nearly 5% on Thursday after influential investment bank Deutsche Bank downgraded rating of the company's shares to hold from outperform.
Pfizer
Pfizer had a big reason to celebrate on new year's eve as its blockbuster potential blood thinner drug Eliquis received coveted U.S. FDA nod for patients with atrial fibrillation, which is not caused by a heart valve problem. The much anticipated approval adds to recent positive developments around the drug as recently the drug secured Europe and Japan's approval for expanding the use to non-valvular atrial fibrillation or NVAF (irregular heart beat) patients. The approval will open the much larger U.S. market that has evaded the drug until now and will bring reprieve for Pfizer's cardiovascular franchise, which is grappling with patent expiry of Lipitor. Pfizer lost patent protection for its once mighty drug Lipitor in Nov 2011, putting at risk about $10 billion in the division.
With addition of new indications like treatment for VTE, acute coronary syndrome (related to the blockage of coronary arteries) etc and Pfizer's already huge cardiovascular sales force, Eliquis could garner expected peak sales of $3 billion. Read our note Pfizer Secures Coveted FDA Approval For Eliquis for detail analysis.
See Full Analysis For Pfizer here
Johnson & Johnson
Johnson & Johnson also entered 2013 with a major boost as its experimental drug for the treatment of multi-drug resistant TB (MDR-TB), Bedaquilinean was approved by the FDA under its accelerated approval program. The approval was widely anticipated after the drug exhibited strong efficacy in mid-stage clinical trials. The drug will be a part of the company's anti-Infectives division, which is seeing a near-term decline in revenues due to the Levaquin patent expiry. However, it will be a long way for the drug to reach its potential peak sales as it will have to wait for approvals from other countries, especially developing countries, where TB is more widespread than the U.S. Read our note Johnson & Johnson Updates: Receives FDA Approval For New Tuberculosis Drug for detail analysis.
See Full Analysis ForJohnson & Johnson here
Abbott Labs
Abbott Labs was in the news for a variety of reasons. The diversified healthcare company completed its split into two separate publicly traded companies. Abbott Labs is now left with low margin but diversified products like generic drugs, nutritional and medical devices in its portfolio while higher-margin proprietary drugs like Humira, Tricor/Trilipx have been transferred to AbbVie. Our current $67 price estimate for Abbott Labs is for consolidated entity as it does not reflect the split. We will soon update our model on availability of 2012 10-k form and pro-forma financials. Read our note Abbott Labs Snapshot As AbbVie Begins Trading for more details.
Further, Abbott Labs won FDA approval for its next-generation Xience Xpedition DES.DES is placed into narrowed /diseased coronary arteries and slowly releases a drug to block cell proliferation to prevent arteries from re-narrowing. While Abbott has already been selling Xience Xpedition in Europe, Asia and the Middle East for a while, FDA approval will open the vast U.S. market for the company. In our current model, stents are part of the company's Vascular franchise, which has been Abbott's largest contributor to growth of late due to the success of the Xience and Promus coronary stents. Backed by such new products, we expect the company's overall vascular market share to increase to our expectations of over 17.5% by the end of the Trefis forecast period.

UnitedHealth Group
UnitedHealth's stock took a beating on Thursday after a downgrade from Deutsche Bank (from outperform to hold with reduced target price of $61). The investment bank cited growing price competition for the healthcare insurance provider. This added to negative sentiments around the stock. Recently, in its investor conference, the company expected a continued decline in fully insured commercial customers in 2013, as more businesses are seen covering healthcare costs themselves while they hire the insurer to manage healthcare benefits.
But, we think this downtrend should be temporary as we already anticipate margins pressure in our model due to many employers cutting healthcare benefits in response to market conditions. However, as economic conditions gradually improve we expect employer-sponsored health coverage to increase along with the quality of those plans (which will in turn bring higher premiums).
Further, we believe that the benefits for UnitedHealth from the increase in enrollments from full implementation of Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ("PPACA") will outweigh the pressures on pricing and margins. (Read UnitedHealth Well-Positioned Going Into 2013, Stock Worth $69 )

Abbott Labs' ( ABT ) split into two separately trading companies: one, Abbott Labs, with diversified medical products, and the other, AbbVie, with research-based proprietary pharmaceuticals, will be effective from today on Jan 2 and AbbVie will begin trading today. Our $67 price estimate for Abbott Labs is for consolidated entity, and our current analysis does not reflect the split. We will soon update our model on availability of 2012 10-k form and pro-forma financials. Meanwhile, we provide the detailed structure and prospects of the companies following the spin-off.
See our complete analysis for Abbott Labs here
Abbott Labs: A Well Diversified Play
Post spin-off, Abbott Labs has a diverse portfolio of healthcare products including:
Pharmaceuticals - Generic drugs
Nutritionals - Products such as infant formulas, snack bars and meal replacement shakes
Vascular - Minimally invasive medical devices for heart diseases, strokes, carotid artery diseases, and other serious vascular conditions
Diagnostics - Systems and tests used for screening for drugs of abuse, cancer, therapeutic drug monitoring, fertility, physiological diseases and infectious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV
While this business is left with products having relatively lower margins, we expect growth to be fairly stable in the long term. These businesses has a significant presence in rapidly growing markets like India, China and Russia and should provide a substantial growth opportunity.
In the pharmaceutical business, the company committed to several purchases in the past like Solvay and Piramal to diversify its portfolio and expand into emerging markets. On a similar note, the company recently opened a nutritional R&D center in India and struck an R&D deal with a Russian group to boost its nutritional business. In the vascular business, the company is developing a next-generation Drug Eluting Stent ( DES ), XIENCE Xpedition, which is expected to launch in Europe this year and in the U.S. in 2013. Further, the company's XIENCE PRIME received approval in Japan earlier this year.
AbbVie: Dependence On Humira Could Hurt
AbbVie has the higher-margin proprietary pharmaceuticals and biologics, including primary care and specialty care drugs that prevent and treat conditions such as autoimmune diseases, lipid disorders, kidney diseases, prostate cancer, thyroid diseases and HIV. The company's prized asset, the blockbuster drug Humira, is part of AbbVie and will drive future revenues for the company.
However, even greater dependence on Humira is a concern. Humira will lose patent protection in late 2016 in the U.S. and mid-2017 in Europe. The company's current pipeline doesn't have a lot of very strong potential blockbuster drugs, which could limit its growth potential in the long term. Recently its partner Reata Pharmaceuticals discontinued a late-stage trial of their potential blockbuster drug for chronic kidney disease and diabetes due to safety concerns raised by an independent safety committee.
Another worry is the growing competition for Humira (Read Pfizer Receives Major Boost As FDA Approves RA Drug Tofacitinib). Further, Tricor went off-patent in July 2012 while other drugs such as Niaspan and Kaletra are seeing a decline in sales due to significant competition.

WisdomTree Expands ETF Monthly Payout List

WisdomTree, the ETF company known for its funds that screen securities based on dividends and earnings, shifted dividend payments on four more of its ETFs to a monthly schedule from a quarterly one, such that all its U.S.-focused dividend strategies will now make payouts each month.
The four ETFs that will now make monthly distributions, and their assets under management are:
WisdomTree Total Dividend Fund (NYSEArca:DTD), $297.3 million
WisdomTree LargeCap Dividend Fund (NYSEArca:DLN), $1.26 billion
WisdomTree MidCap Dividend Fund (NYSEArca:DON), $386.5 million
WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund (NYSEArca:DES), $396.6 million
'We believe the new payment schedule will be well received by fund shareholders, particularly by those investors seeking more frequent income distributions from our dividend-focused funds,' WisdomTree Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Steinberg said today in a press release.
WisdomTree was able to oblige investors because payment dates of underlying stocks in domestic equity funds vary enough to create a fairly stable-if not identical-monthly income stream, according to WisdomTree Director of Research Jeremy Schwartz.
The changes bring to 11 the total number of WisdomTree funds that make monthly payouts-a number that includes the $571.1 million WisdomTree Equity Income Fund (NYSEArca:DHS) and the $1.18 billion WisdomTree Dividend ex-Financials Fund (NYSEArca:DTN).
The New York-based company still has 31 funds that make quarterly distributions and seven that make annual payments. Payment schedules for those funds aren't likely to change, as many of the 31 with quarterly payments are foreign funds with payout schedules that would render uneven monthly payouts. The seven others are currency strategies that use currency forwards, all but making annual payments a necessity, Schwartz told IndexUniverse.

Three Impressive Small Cap Dividend ETFs - ETF News And Commentary

Due to risk in the market and extreme stock volatility over the past few years, many investors seek more stability in their portfolios along with high levels of current income. Unfortunately, bond yields have been quite low, which has pushed many into opting for high dividend paying stocks instead ( Emerging Markets Sovereign Bond ETFs: Safe With Attractive Yields )
Beyond individual securities, investment in equity ETFs which have stocks that pay high dividend yields have emerged as a source of decent income for investors at this time. This has proven to be a pretty good strategy as intermediate term bonds are still yielding below broad stock markets and equities have risen higher so far in 2012.
Investors seeking a certain level of consistent income can invest in individual dividend paying stocks or in dividend paying ETFs ( 11 Great Dividend ETFs ). ETFs can often pay superior dividends, and are arguably the best option available to investors as these ensure safety with low costs even if the world market crashes or collapses.
Today, when returns from equities are at risk, dividend-focused ETFs have become a major source of consistent income for investors.
ETFs focusing on dividend stocks are a safer strategic investment in the current ultra-low rates environment, still there are not considered to be risk free investments. Companies are under no legal obligation to pay dividends to their investors, nor is the rate of dividend fixed.
In case of any financial instability, the company may fail to pay dividend, or it may cut the rate of dividend payment. This in turn, could hamper the returns from ETF investments.
Small Cap ETFs
When it comes to putting money into ETFs, there are many large cap and small cap ETFs available that hit companies of different sectors and markets. However, large cap ETFs are known to include companies which do not always directly relate to the real economies of the nation and which can often have higher levels of exposure to foreign markets.
That is because large caps are often multination firms that do business across borders. For example, Coca-Cola does a great deal of its business abroad while a local soda company is going to be entirely dependent on the American market for its business.
In order to avoid this and focus more on local economies, the ETF world has expanded to include small cap ETFs. These funds allow the investor to tap the domestic population of the economy and usually offer more spread out exposure ( Emerging Market Small Cap ETFs: Freefall Continues ). Additionally, small caps are often capable of higher levels of growth than large caps, a situation which can be especially important in the low growth world we find ourselves in today.
Investors should note that these products can experience levels of volatility that can make large cap emerging stocks seem stable in comparison. Risk tolerance should be very high for those looking to make a play on this space as huge gains and losses can occur, in a very short period of time ( Guide to Small Cap Emerging Market ETFs )
Small cap dividend ETFs
Beyond growth, many investors are also scrambling for yield in today's low rate environment. However, many overlook small cap securities for high payouts, favoring their large cap brethren instead.
Fortunately for investors, there are a few ETFs that are combining this high yield focus with micro sized securities. In this way, investors can have an interesting mix of growth and income that many other funds simply cannot match. If this sounds like a good way to tackle today's market, any of the following three small cap high dividend ETFs highlighted below could be interesting picks:
WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund (DES)
The WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund was introduced in June 2006. The ETF seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index (also read Three Resilient European ETFs Still Going Strong ).
This benchmark is a fundamentally weighted index which measures the performance of the small-capitalization segment of the U.S. dividend-paying market. The Index comprises of companies that make up the bottom 25% of the market capitalization of the WisdomTree Dividend Index after 300 of the largest companies have been removed.
The index is dividend weighted annually to reflect proportionate shares of the aggregate cash dividends that each component company is projected to pay in the coming year. The cash dividends are based on the most recently declared dividend per share figure.
The fund holds a total of 615 stocks, with 11.3% of the total asset base of $331.1 million invested in the top 10 holdings. Apollo Investment Corp ( AINV ) takes the top spot in the fund and is closely followed by CommonWealth REIT ( CWH ) and Prospect Capital Corp ( PSEC ).
In selection of sectors, the fund is heavily concentrated in Financials with 54.9% assets invested in the segment. The fund charges an expense ratio of 38 basis points and delivered a one-year return of 5.28%. The fund's yield stands at 3.92%, a good level, considering the small cap nature of the product.
WisdomTree Europe SmallCap Dividend Fund (DFE)
Investors seeking exposure in small cap European companies can invest in DFE. The fund tracks the performance of the WisdomTree Europe SmallCap Dividend Index. This result in a fund that holds 317 high dividend-paying stocks that comprise the bottom 25% of market capitalization of the WisdomTree Europe Dividend Index and excludes 300 of the largest companies.
The fund provides broad exposure to European countries - United Kingdom 25.31%, Italy 13.2%, Germany 11.3%, Sweden 10.4%, France 6.75%, Norway 5.98%, Netherlands 5.74%, Spain 5.51%, Finland 5.34%, and Portugal 3.46% ( Euro Small Cap ETFs: The Way to Play Europe? )
DFE appears to be spread among individual holdings as just 12.3% of its total asset base is invested in the top 10 holdings. Among individual holdings, Cable & Wireless Communication takes the top spot (2%) closely followed by Nexity (1.49%) and Antena 3 de Television SA (1.30%).
Among sector holdings, DFE is heavily exposed to industrials and consumer discretionary firms with 25% and 19% weightings, respectively. The product charges 58 bps in fees per year and has about $23 million of AUM. It also has had an impressive yield of 5.18% per annum but has produced negative returns of 19.26% in the last one-year period, largely thanks to the ongoing European crisis.
IQ Australia Small Cap ETF (KROO)
KROO seeks to replicate the performance of the IQ Australia Small Cap Index. The Index focuses on companies that make up the smallest 15% of the market cap in the nation. This resulted in a portfolio of 107 securities with expense ratio of 69 basis points a year in fees.
The fund appears to be spread out among companies, as investment in the top 10 holdings stands at 22.3%. Seek Ltd, UGL Ltd and Bank of Queensland takes the top three positions in the fund with asset investment of 2.65%, 2.60% and 2.48%, respectively (see Australia ETFs: a Developed Market Play on Asian Growth ).
In terms of sector exposure, the fund is quite different from its large cap counterpart EWA. The fund puts its top weightings to basic material (27.9%), cyclical consumer (21%) and industrial (17.9%), stocks.
Over a period of one year, the fund has delivered negative returns of 23.3%.However, dividend yield stands at an impressive 13.41%.

Value Investing is an investment strategy that involves the selection of stocks that trade below their intrinsic value. Value Investors seek for shares of companies that do not represent their true intrinsic value or have been undervalued by the market. ( Try Value Investing With These Large Cap ETFs )
Value investors are of the view that the market often reacts in an exaggerated way to both positive and negative news of certain stocks. This leads to movement in stock prices that do not reflect the company's long-term fundamentals. The strategy is to invest in the stock when it appears to be somewhat inexpensive so as to take advantage of the correction when the stock finally reflects its true market price.
Companies with small market capitalization are looked upon as those which offer opportunity to exploit market inefficiency. So, a combination of the two, the small cap stocks and value stocks, together can form the best performing market segment. In order to play in the market with these two kinds of stocks at the same time, small-cap value fund is the best available option to an investor. Value small cap funds tend to exhibit higher risk adjusted returns than large and growth stocks. ( Guide to Small Cap Emerging Market ETFs )
Value small cap funds also deliver higher returns. The additional return that the investor gets in these funds is the risk premium, as both the value stock and small cap stock are deemed to be risky investments.
Risk
Small cap stocks have less international exposure than their large cap counterparts. So small cap stocks rely more on the domestic economy for performance. If the international economy performs better than the domestic economy, then small cap stocks can underperform. ( 3 Stocks With Magic PEG Ratios ).
Small Cap Value ETFs
For investors who are willing to take up high risk levels in hopes of achieving higher growth rates in a section of their portfolio, any of the five small cap value ETFs we have highlighted below could be an excellent choice:
Russell 2000 Value Index Fund ( IWN )
Russell 2000 Value Index Fund is the oldest ETF which provides exposure to the small capitalization value sector of the U.S. equity market. The ETF seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of small cap value stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value Index. The product appears to be liquid as approximately 1.5 million shares change hands on a daily basis. The fund invests its $3867.5 million of net assets in 1360 stocks. The fund invests just 4.6% of its asset in the top ten holdings which suggest that the fund is hardly concentrated. BioMed Realty Trust Inc. (BMR) and National Retail Properties, Inc. (NNN) occupy the top two positions in the fund.
Among the sectors, Financials, Producer Discretionary and Consumer Discretionary hold the lion's share making up 65.3% of the total investment. ( Play A Consumer Recovery With These Discretionary ETFs ) For the investment made in the ETF, the investor pays an expense ratio of 40 basis points. Due to heavy weighting towards Financials, the fund delivered a negative return of 1.2% over a period of one year.
S&P Small Cap 600 Value Index Fund ( IJS )
S&P Small Cap 600 Value ETF, introduced in July 2000, seeks to provide exposure to U.S. small-cap value stocks and tracks the S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index. The fund holds a total of 455 small cap stocks. The fund has a total asset base of $2,125.5 million of which 8.2% is invested in the top 10 holdings. So like IWN, the fund appears to be diversified with assets not just concentrated in the top 10 holdings but also spread among other companies beyond the list of top 10. Among the different sectors Financials and Industrials occupy the top two positions with 46.2% of investment made in these two categories. The fund charges a premium of 25 basis points for the investment. Despite a tilt towards the financial sector, the fund could deliver a return of 4.51% over a period of one year.
Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF ( VBR )
Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF seeks investment results that generally correspond to the performance of the MSCI US Small Cap Value Index. The MSCI US Small Cap Value Index represents the value companies of the MSCI US Small Cap 1750 Index. The fund has a total asset base of $7.2 billion of which 4.5% is invested in the top 10 holdings. A low concentration level in the top 10 holdings suggests that the fund is spread among other companies. Among sectors, a maximum of 37.3% is invested in Financials, while the fund is light on Telecommunication Services with just 0.3% of investment made in that sector. The fund could deliver a return of 0.20% over a period of one year and charges a premium of 21 basis points from investors.
WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund ( DES )
Another fund tapping the small cap value companies, WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund, was introduced in June 2006. WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Fund.
The WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend Index is a fundamentally weighted index measuring the performance of the small-capitalization segment of the US dividend-paying market. The Index comprises of companies that make up the bottom 25% of the market capitalization of the WisdomTree Dividend Index after the 300 largest companies have been removed. The index is dividend weighted annually to reflect the proportionate share of the aggregate cash dividends each component company is projected to pay in the coming year, based on the most recently declared dividend per share number.
The fund holds a total of 624 stocks with 11.1% of the total asset base of $304.1 million invested in the top 10 holdings. Among sectors, the fund is heavily invested in Financials with 53.87% asset invested in the sector. The fund charges an expense ration of 38 basis points and delivered a one-year return of 4.78%,
Morningstar Small Value Index Fund ( JKL )
Morningstar Small Value ETF, launched by iShares, seeks to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Morningstar Small Value Index. The fund with a total asset base of $159.2 million holds a total stock of 235. The fund invests 8.83% of its assets in the top ten. Among sectors, Financials occupies the top position while the fund is light on Energy. The fund charges a total premium of 30 basis points and has delivered a negative return of 2.47% over a period of one year.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL - March 27, 2012 - Zacks Equity Research highlights The Kroger Company ( KR ) as the Bull of the Day and Dril-Quip, Inc. ( DRQ ) as the Bear of the Day. In addition, Zacks Equity Research provides analysis on Medtronic ( MDT ), Boston Scientific ( BSX ) and St. Jude Medical ( STJ ).
Full analysis of all these stocks is available at http://at.zacks.com/?id=2678 .
Here is a synopsis of all five stocks:
Bull of the Day :
We upgraded our recommendation on The Kroger Company ( KR ) to Outperform following the company's fourth-quarter 2011 results. The quarterly earnings of $0.50 per share beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny, and rose 8.7% from the prior-year quarter. Total revenue climbed 7.7% during the quarter. Kroger now expects fiscal 2012 earnings between $2.28 and $2.38 per share and forecasts identical supermarket sales (sans fuel) growth of 3% to 3.5%.
We believe that a dominant position among the nation's largest grocery retailers enables Kroger to sustain top-line growth, expand store base, and boost market share. The company is also well positioned to deliver higher earnings primarily through strong super market sales (sans fuel) growth.
Kroger is also actively managing its capital and returning much of its free cash to shareholders via share buybacks and dividends. Moreover, management continues to deploy capital to concentrate more on remodels, merchandising and other viable projects.
Bear of the Day :
We are downgrading our recommendation on Dril-Quip, Inc. ( DRQ ) to Underperform from Neutral. The company remains exposed to the highly volatile oil and gas sector fundamentals.
We remain concerned about company-specific risks, which include new product growth challenges and potential backlog losses. Additionally, delays in deepwater infrastructure awards may also hinder the growth prospect of Dril-Quip.
The company has also exhibited restricted growth in the past few quarters and we remain cautious going forward. However, increased deepwater activity over the near term, recent capacity additions in Brazil and Singapore, as well as ongoing capacity expansions could prove beneficial over time.
Latest Posts on the Zacks Analyst Blog :
Positive Data on Medtronic Stent
Results from a major clinical study from Medtronic's ( MDT ) Resolute drug-eluting stent ( DES ), presented at the 61st annual conference of American College of Cardiology, proved the stent to be a strong and persistent option in treating a wide variety of patients with coronary artery disease. Based on this success story, management remains highly confident about Medtronic's stent business going forward.
The company presented two-year data on DES, which achieved the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in February 2012 for the treatment of coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. This data was derived from RESOLUTE US clinical study and 2 pooled analyses of the entire Resolute clinical program which are RESOLUTE Pooled Safety and RESOLUTE Pooled Diabetes. The data focuses on low rates of target lesion failure ( TLF ), target lesion revascularization ( TLR ) and definite/probable stent thrombosis (def/prob ST).
About 1,402 patients across 128 US-based clinical trial sites are registered for RESOLUTE US out of which 1,359 patients had low rates of TLF (7.3%), clinically-driven TLR (4.3%) and def/prob ST (0.2%). Even with 34% of these patients suffering from diabetes mellitus, results were encouraging with TLF (8.9%), clinically-driven TLR (5.7%) and no def/prob ST (0.0%).
The company expects Resolute DES to reflect a positive outcome in patients with or without diabetes mellitus. Given the large number of diabetes patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention annually, the Resolute DES is expected to bolster Medtronic's CardioVascular business going ahead.
Medtronic has taken several strategic initiatives to maintain its leadership position in the fiercely competitive medical devices industry as it battles to capture market share from other major player such as Boston Scientific ( BSX ) and St. Jude Medical ( STJ ).
Given the huge potential in the DES therapy market, Medtronic has been reallocating resources towards developing new therapies to drive growth. Along with the world's leading clinicians, researchers and scientists, Medtronic is presently focusing on providing a wide range of improved medical technology for the interventional treatment of cardiovascular diseases and cardiac arrhythmias.
Medtronic is also targeting the under-penetrated emerging economies. Moreover, its restructuring initiatives should help sustain long-term growth. We are currently Neutral on Medtronic which corresponds to a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold).

Russell Rolls Out Two High-Payout ETFs

Russell Investments, the indexing firm that began launching its own ETFs last May, today joined a crowded field of dividend-focused equity ETFs with the rollout of a pair of high-payout funds designed to offer investors another source of income outside of fixed-income strategies.
The Russell High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEArca:HDIV) is a U.S. large-cap portfolio comprising high-payout names from the Russell 1000 Index. The fund costs 0.33 percent a year. That's a tad lower than its small-cap counterpart going live today, the Russell Small Cap High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEArca:DIVS). DIVS' portfolio is a high-dividend subset of the Russell 2000 Index. It costs 0.38 percent.
Seattle-based Russell is a bit of a latecomer to the space. HDIV will face some stiff competition from at least a dozen other U.S. high-dividend-yield ETFs that serve up similar exposure. It will also face stiff competition on price from the likes of Vanguard and Charles Schwab funds. The $10.2 billion Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEArca:VIG), for instance, costs only 0.18 percent a year, while the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEArca:SCHD) costs 0.17 percent.
DIVS appears to be the market's first U.S. high-dividend equity fund to focus solely on U.S. small-cap companies, according to data compiled by IndexUniverse. However, the fund would join a broad-based WisdomTree small cap dividend ETF (NYSEArca:DES) that is not necessarily characterized as a high-payout fund. DES has gathered $316.4 million since 2006 and costs 0.38 percent.
Overall, investors have embraced ETFs that offer high payouts, especially at a time of global economic uncertainty-even if these funds aren't always the best-performing ones. Dividend-yield ETFs can often fall victim to volatility, which has a negative effect on total returns, if not the actual dividend stream.
Still, dividend-yield ETFs can be particularly attractive in an environment where official interest rates might rise, something that looms largely after more than three years of ultra-loose monetary policies the Federal Reserve put in place to stoke growth following the 2008 market crash.
Successful Dividend ETFs
Apart from Vanguard's VIG, a number of other dividend ETFs have attracted serious assets, which speaks volumes about investor appetite for such strategies.
Funds like the iShares Dow Jones Select Dividend Index Fund (NYSEArca:DVY), one of the market's largest and oldest U.S. dividend ETFs, boasts more than $10 billion in assets, and is one of only two iShares U.S. dividend ETFs. The $9 billion SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (NYSEArca:SDY) is another giant in the segment, and that's just to name a few.
An International Dividend ETF Still To Come
Both of Russell's strategies, each following a respective Russell index through full replication, invest only in the stocks with the highest payouts relative to their peers, but the funds also screen for a company's dividend growth, its earnings stability and for the sustainability of its profits.
HDIV and DIVS should soon be joined by an international dividend ETF that was originally included in paperwork Russell filed with U.S. regulators prior to launch.
The Russell International High Dividend Yield ETF will eventually be listed on the NYSE Arca platform under the ticker "IDIV," and cost 0.48 percent in expense ratio, the company said in its latest filing.
The money management and indexing firm already offers a roster of factor-based funds such as volatility, beta and momentum-focused ETFs, but the new ETFs are the company's first U.S. dividend funds.

Russell Investments, the indexing firm that began launching its own ETFs last May, today joined a crowded field of dividend-focused equity ETFs with the rollout of a pair of high-payout funds designed to offer investors another source of income outside of fixed-income strategies. However, the fund would join a broad-based WisdomTree small cap dividend ETF (NYSEArca:DES) that is not necessarily characterized as a high-payout fund. DES has gathered $316.4 million since 2006 and costs 0.38 percent.

The challenges of Boston Scientific Corporation 's ( BSX ) core segments consisting of stents and defibrillators do not show any sign of abatement. Revenues declined 8% year over year to $1.848 billion during the fourth quarter 2011 and missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.908 billion. Excluding the impact from divested businesses and at constant exchange rates (CER), net sales dropped 5%. For the full year, sales dropped 2% (5% at CER) to $7.622 billion, nominally missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $7.662 billion.
The companyreported an EPS of 7 cents during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 compared with 20 cents in the year-ago period. However, after considering certain adjustments (other than amortization expense), the adjusted EPS came in at 8 cents, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate, but lower than the year-ago quarter's adjusted EPS of 12 cents. For the fiscal, the adjusted EPS of 45 cents beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by a penny and the previous year's 42 cents.
As per the guidance provided during third quarter results, Boston Scientific expected to report adjusted EPS of 8-11 cents on revenue of $1.85−$1.95 billion during the quarter and 44−47 cents on revenue of $7.624−$7.724 billion during the fiscal. While the company missed its EPS forecast during the quarter, revenue was just in line, at the low end of the guided range.
Segment contribution
Boston Scientific derives maximum revenues from Cardiovascular, which comprises Interventional Cardiology and Peripheral Interventions. Sales at these sub-segments were a respective $594 million (down 8% year over year at CER) and $184 million (up 6%), during the quarter.
Global sales of coronary stent system (within Interventional Cardiology) at $381 million declined 6.8% due to disappointing performance from both drug-eluting stents ( DES ) that declined 5.6% to $356 million and bare-metal stents that dropped 21.8% to $25 million.
The next biggest contributor to Boston Scientific's top line, Cardiac Rhythm Management ( CRM ), continued to disappoint with a 15% drop in sales to $482 million during the quarter. Sales from pacemakers and defibrillators declined 5% to $134 million and 17.7% to $348 million, respectively. Over the recent past the company has been targeting new product launches to revive the sales of the beleaguered Cardiovascular and CRM segments. However, the dismal performance of these segments during the reported quarter shows that these measures were not enough to ride over the challenges currently at play.
Other segments of the company - Electrophysiology, Endoscopy, Urology/Women's Health and Neuromodulation - recorded sales of $36 million (flat on a year-over-year basis), $304 million (up 6% at CER), $127 million (down 1%) and $91 million (up 6%), respectively.
Balance Sheet
Boston Scientific exited the fiscal with cash and cash equivalents of $267 million, up from $213 million at the end of fiscal 2010. It is encouraging to note that the company was able to reduce its debt level to $4.2 billion, consistent with the targeted capital structure, from $4.9 billion at the end of December 2010. The company generated operating cash flow of $349 million and repurchased 52 million shares taking the total repurchase for 2011 to 82 million shares.
The company's bottom line experienced a positive impact from the 3% decline in the share count as a result of the continuous share buyback program as well as a 32.7% decline in interest expense associated with a lower debt level.
Guidance
Boston Scientific unveiled its guidance for the first quarter and fiscal 2012. For the first quarter, Boston Scientific expects to report adjusted EPS of 5-8 cents (lower than the current Zacks Consensus Estimate of 11 cents) on revenue of $1.825−$1.90 billion (slightly lower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.907 billion).
For the fiscal, the company expects revenue and adjusted EPS in the range of $7.3−$7.7 billion and 36−46 cents, respectively. The Zacks Consensus Estimates for revenue and adjusted EPS stand at $7.643 billion and 47 cents, respectively.
Our Take
We are disappointed with the fourth quarter results of Boston Scientific. Estimate revision trends among the analysts for the fourth quarter and the fiscal during the past 30 days reflected the issues troubling the company's core businesses and the current economic uncertainties. This is all the more evident in St. Jude Medical 's ( STJ ) recently reported results. Revenues from its CRM division fell 6% at CER year over year to $728 million, indicating sustained softness in the CRM market.
Boston Scientific has been undertaking several strategic initiatives over the past few quarters that included focus on emerging markets, restructuring initiatives, among others. Moreover, the launch of Promus Element Plus stent in US should lead to better operating margins going ahead.
Longer term, we have a Neutral recommendation on Boston Scientific. The stock retains a Zacks #3 Rank ("Hold") in the short term.

Boston Scientific Corporation 's ( BSX ) Cardiac Rhythm Management ( CRM ) should record higher sales with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approving Incepta, Energen and Punctua cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators (CRT-Ds) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs). These devices are meant to treat heart failure and sudden cardiac death.
Though expected, the US approval comes even earlier than the company's original guidance of late 2011 or early 2012. CE Mark approval for these defibrillators was received in the second quarter of 2011. The company is confident of the ready adoption of these devices as they come with improved therapy options, advanced battery longevity and a DF4 universal connector system. The company also announced an extended warranty for these devices in the US and many international countries of up to 10 years. The latest approval is all the more significant as declining sales of ICD's and drug eluting stents ( DES ), contributing more than 40% of total sales, have been a major area of concern.
During the most recent quarter, worldwide ICD sales declined 11% year over year to $360 million (14% down at CER) with a 20% decline in the US sales to $225 million and a 7% rise in international sales (down 2% at CER) to $135 million. The contraction in the US ICD market is because of several factors - pricing pressure, physician reaction to study results published by the Journal of the American Medical Association regarding evidence-based guidelines for ICD implants, US Department of Justice (DOJ) investigations into hospitals' ICD implant practices, the expansion of Medicare recovery audits and an ongoing physician alignment to hospitals.
Moreover, according to the company's assumptions, the US ICD market weakened further in July and August compared to the second quarter. Although the situation improved marginally in September and early October, the company needs another couple of quarters to assess if the market has indeed stabilized.
A similar scenario is observed at other major ICD players namely St. Jude Medical ( STJ ) and Medtronic ( MDT ). Recently, St. Jude Medical has received FDA approval for its much awaited Unify Quadra CRT-D and Quartet Left Ventricular Quadripolar Pacing Lead, shipment of which is expected to begin shortly.
Approval of the new devices is a huge breakthrough for both Boston Scientific and St. Jude Medical with the potential to turn around the ailing ICD business. Earlier this year, Medtronic had received approval for its next generation Protecta ICD, capable of partially offsetting pricing pressure.
The approval of the new line of ICDs for Boston Scientific comes on the heel of US approval of Promus Element Plus stent last week, well ahead of the company's original expectation of a mid-2012 approval. Promus Element now represents $200 million in additional annualized gross margin contribution from the US and Japan by 2012 end.
Besides, the next generation Ingenio family of pacemakers is slated for launch in the US and EMEA in the first half of 2012, subject to regulatory approvals. The string of recent and impending approvals is expected to support the company's growth in 2012 fired by new product launches.
We have a Neutral recommendation on Boston Scientific, in line with the short-term Zacks #3 Rank (Hold).

Morningstar submits:
By Samuel Lee
The Case for Unpopular Indexes
Investors rightly associate size with stability and low costs, but rigidly sticking to giant ETFs can lead investors astray. Flawed index construction can overwhelm the expense ratio and liquidity advantage big ETFs enjoy. Some of the biggest funds, such as those following the S&P 500 and Russell 2000, lose a lot of money to front-running arbitrageurs.
Active ETF investors should be wary of so-called enhanced ETFs that attempt to beat the market, especially when they get bloated with assets. Like active managers, even the best active indexes have limited space to execute their strategies. It's hard enough as it is to earn alpha--saddling a previously outperforming index-based strategy with too many assets can wipe out the mispricing it exploits. Almost by definition, the best-returning strategies will usually be ones that had limited capital dedicated them.
Active or passive, ETF investors can reap rewards by venturing off the beaten path and either avoiding unnecessary but hidden costs, or improving their chances of finding unexploited opportunities.
With over 1,200 exchange-traded funds, we figured a few good ideas were bound to slip through the cracks. So, we dug for treasure among the 1,000 ETFs that haven't passed $1 billion in assets and found a few gems that could supplement your portfolio.
United States Commodity Index (USCI) - $453.7 million
Futures-based commodity index investors have been hurt by a one-two punch of contango and price impact. Contango dragged some long-futures-based funds down by 10 percentage points or more. To add insult to injury, they've lost about 3% annualized over the past decade to price impact, according to a recent paper by Columbia University professor Yiqun Mou.
USCI cleverly sidesteps much of these issues by exploiting backwardation (the opposite of contango) and momentum. Yale professor K. Geert Rouwenhorst and his partners at SummerHaven designed the index based on their academic research. It's rare for an active-strategy ETF to have such intellectual firepower behind it.
In a dramatic vindication of Rouwenhorst's research, the fund has outpaced every broad commodity ETF by an average of 8% since its launch last August, and its outperformance came from consistent monthly gains rather than a few anomalous periods. If you must have long futures-based commodity exposure, get this fund.
WisdomTree SmallCap Dividend ( DES ) - $243.0 million
Small beats large and value beats growth--at least, that's how it's been in virtually every stock market studied. Whether it's a reward for risk or a mispricing, small-value stocks have trounced the market, and most researchers agree that they should have higher expected returns than the broad market. This ETF is a fine way to gain exposure to the smallest, most value-loaded stocks in the U.S. without verging into explosive microcaps (which are fraught with their own risks). The fund buys the most boring companies in the U.S. by screening for dividend payers.
The fund did poorly over the past few years. But is it due to flawed implementation? The Carhart model, the academic standard for performance attribution, says not: Its poor performance relative to vanilla small-value indexes was due to deeper size and value tilts.
Vanguard Global ex-U.S. Real Estate ETF (VNQI) - $132.2 million
Vanguard's new global real estate offering is the cheapest and most diversified global real-estate ETF on the market. Real-estate investors should look into this fund, which offers access to the 70% of the real-estate market left out by U.S. REIT funds. International real-estate funds have not enjoyed broad acceptance, with total ETF assets slightly under $3 billion, versus close to $17 billion in U.S.-focused ETFs. Unlike U.S. REITs, international real-estate companies have not recovered their pre-crisis peaks, yet boast high yields, leaving them with potentially attractive valuations.
This REIT fund has several key advantages over its main competitor, SPDR Dow Jones International Real Estate (RWX). It charges a 0.24% lower expense ratio, holds nearly four times as many stocks, and includes a dose of emerging-markets exposure.
PIMCO Build America Bond Strategy ( BABZ ) - $30.7 million
Build America Bonds, or BABs, and PIMCO's actively managed ETF have been largely ignored by retail investors. Congress created the BAB program in 2009 as part of its stimulus bill to subsidize municipalities borrowing money for infrastructure projects. BABs trade at discounts to equivalently rated corporate bonds in part because they're more illiquid. As of writing, BABZ's estimated yield to maturity is 6.74%. It's also cheaper than virtually all other actively managed BAB funds. With reputable active managers and institutional-level pricing, it's a bit of a mystery why this ETF hasn't caught on.
Credit Suisse Merger Arbitrage Liquid Index ETN ( CSMA ) - $61.5 million
If you subscribe to the ETFInvestor newsletter, you've probably read my articles excoriating alternative ETFs for repackaging common risk tilts, or betas, slapping on a higher expense ratio, and selling them as alpha products. So why am I suggesting CSMA? Imagine you own stock of a company that's just been revealed as an acquisition target; its price rockets up, but hovers a few dollars below the acquisition price. You'd probably sell out to lock in your gains. After all, deals sometimes fall through. Merger arbitrage profits are the reward for acting as an insurer for the acquisition stock holders. It's what's known as an alternative beta. There's no real trickery involved here, no promise of stupendous safe returns. You're paid for bearing risk. Until very recently, the only way to access this alternative beta was by overpaying hedge funds, which often use leverage to justify their fees. CSMA costs a reasonable 0.55% annually.
The benefit of merger arbitrage is that its returns are largely uncorrelated with the market. Adding a small dose to your portfolio can improve risk-adjusted returns, even if its annual returns aren't awe-inspiring. This recommendation is for the more daring investors out there. There are two major caveats: It's an ETN, so it bears credit risk, and merger arbitrage strategies become moderately correlated to the market during vicious bear markets.
Buying an Unloved ETF
Unloved ETFs can have low liquidity, so investors should always trade them with limit orders. Post limit orders at close to net asset value, or NAV, which you can look up in real time by typing the ETF's ticker into Morningstar.com's quote box with the suffix ".IV" (so "VTI.IV" for the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF's real-time NAV). When they see a large limit order near NAV outstanding, market makers will go out and either acquire or create the shares to sell to you. With a little care, venturing into smaller ETFs doesn't have to be a costly experience.

Should We Invest in Dividend Stocks for the Long Term?

Insider Monkey submits:
We published an article last week showing how dividend yielding stocks beat the stock market by 5.4% when 10-year interest rates are below 2.5%. Investing in dividend stocks seems like a great idea if interest rates stay below 2.5% for a long time. Unfortunately, we can't tell the future. Who knows where interest rates will be next month, next year, or the next decade? Let's take a look at the long-term behavior of this investment strategy.
At the end of every year we picked the 20 highest dividend yielding stocks among the largest 500 stocks (between 1927 and 1950 we limited the universe to the largest 200 stocks, and between 1951 and 1965 the universe was the largest 300 stocks) and kept these stocks in our portfolio for exactly one year. Between 1927 and 2009, high dividend yielding stocks returned an average of 13.04% per year. The value-weighted market return was 11.68% during the same time period. The dividend stocks beat the overall market by an average of 1.36% per year.
This is not negligible. The compounded return for dividend strategy is 3960 vs. 1990 for the broader market. So, investing in dividend stocks is a great idea for long term investing , right? Wait…
click for larger image
It's not like dividend stocks beat the broader market by 1.36 percentage points year in and year out. The results vary wildly from year to year. For example, during the 10 year period between 1927 and 1936, dividend stocks underperformed the market by an average of 4.8% and returned less than the broader market in 9 out of 10 years. If there were some dividend stock investors in 1927, they probably would have abandoned this strategy by 1936. During the following 15 years, dividend stocks managed to beat the broader market in 13 out of 15 years and the average outperformance was 5.0%. A complete reversal. Basically, if we exclude the first 10 years, we could say that dividend stocks beat the stock market by 2.2 percentage points on "average".
High dividend stocks performed much worse than the broader market between 1987 and 1999, underperforming by 7.7 percentage points per year. In 11 out of the 13 years, dividend stocks also returned less than the stock market. This may be the reason why dividend stocks were out of favor at the peak of the dot-com bubble and outperformed the broader market by an average of 10.2% per year during the past decade. Dividend stocks managed to beat the stock market in 9 out of the last 10 years.
If we had done this analysis at the end of 1999, we would have concluded that dividend stocks performed worse than the broader market with cumulative returns of 176,000% vs. 216,000% for the broader stock market. It is obvious that investing in dividend stocks is not statistically different than investing in the broader market. Yes, dividend stocks perform better when interest rates are ultra low, but who can guarantee that interest rates are going to stay this low for an extended period of time.

Wait… click for larger image It's not like dividend stocks beat the broader market by 1.36 percentage points year in and year out. During the following 15 years, dividend stocks managed to beat the broader market in 13 out of 15 years and the average outperformance was 5.0%. High dividend stocks performed much worse than the broader market between 1987 and 1999, underperforming by 7.7 percentage points per year.
|
At the end of every year we picked the 20 highest dividend yielding stocks among the largest 500 stocks (between 1927 and 1950 we limited the universe to the largest 200 stocks, and between 1951 and 1965 the universe was the largest 300 stocks) and kept these stocks in our portfolio for exactly one year. For example, during the 10 year period between 1927 and 1936, dividend stocks underperformed the market by an average of 4.8% and returned less than the broader market in 9 out of 10 years. If we had done this analysis at the end of 1999, we would have concluded that dividend stocks performed worse than the broader market with cumulative returns of 176,000% vs. 216,000% for the broader stock market.
|
Between 1927 and 2009, high dividend yielding stocks returned an average of 13.04% per year. For example, during the 10 year period between 1927 and 1936, dividend stocks underperformed the market by an average of 4.8% and returned less than the broader market in 9 out of 10 years. In 11 out of the 13 years, dividend stocks also returned less than the stock market.

Energy issues are up pre-market, while oil prices are slightly lower with OPEC deciding to keep its production quota unchanged as expected. Russia's OAO Rosneft (ROSN) will pay $1.6 billion for a 50% stake in four German refineries held by Venezuela's Petroleos de Venezuela SA (PDVSA).

BP has two production joint ventures with PDVSA. Desire Petroleum plc ( DES ) said it found no oil or gas in the Falkland Islands, but said it will pursue another lead in the area. Shares in the energy explorer are down over 34% in London trade as a result. French energy giant Total SA ( TOT ) continues to struggle as labor unions voted to strike Oct. 19 when the Senate votes on President Nicolas Sarkozy's bill to raise the retirement age in France. Union workers went on strike this week which led Total and other companies to shut down refineries, and 11 of the 12 refineries in France are not supplying service stations. Gulfport Energy Corp ( GPOR ) will replace American Physicians Capital Inc ( ACAP ) on the S&P SmallCap 600 Index on Oct. 20.

Michael Johnston submits:
By Cathy Carlson
The first generation of equity ETFs was dominated by market capitalization-weighted strategies, a methodology that involves assigning a weight to each component based on the total value of its equity. Most of the assets in equity ETFs can still be found in cap-weighted funds, but that strategy is no longer the only game in town. In recent years, a number of alternative weighting strategies have become popular with investors, including:
Equal Weighting: An equal-weighted index holds an equal dollar amount of each of the component companies. This technique requires regular rebalancing because the value of stocks shift, causing a change in the security's individual weighting.
Earnings Weighting: This methodology determines the appropriate asset allocation based off of a company's reported earnings. Companies with higher earnings will have higher weightings in the index. The technique may have a tendency to be heavy in value stocks, avoiding companies with negative earnings (many growth companies have negative earnings).
Dividend Weighting: Like the earnings-weighted index, this strategy gives its highest allocation to the security that has paid out the highest cash dividends. There are a number of potential advantages to this strategy, including an avoidance of firms that engage in "cooking the books."
Revenue Weighting: This strategy involves weighting each component by top-line revenue, a technique that overweights low price-to-revenue companies and underweights companies with a high price-to-revenue ratio.
With the first half of 2010 in the books, we take a look back to see which of these strategies have performed the best through the first two quarters of the year. Two words of caution; first, while the components of the ETFs profiled are generally very similar, they won't always be identical. As such, the weighting methodology isn't the only variable (although it is definitely the primary difference within each group below). Second, the tables show results over a six-month period, a time frame that isn't long enough to draw any definitive results. Still, the results are very interesting, and demonstrate that a tweak to weighting methodologies can have a material impact on bottom line returns.
Large Cap Equities
Considering that SPY is the largest ETF by total assets, it isn't surprising that there have been a number of "spin off" funds that hold similar components but utilize different weighting strategies. But it has lagged behind other large cap funds with similar holdings but different weighting methodologies through the first half of the year:
The winner: None of these ETFs has delivered particularly impressive returns, but the equal-weighted index has not experienced as rough of a beating year-to-date.
Mid Cap Equities
An equal-weighted ETF is not offered in the mid cap equities though there are a number of ETFs offering mid cap exposure. Each of these ETFs offers exposure to mid cap equities, with the primary difference being the methodology utilized to determine individual weightings.
The winner: Again, the market cap-weighted ETF lagged behind other strategies, as dividend weighting and earnings weighting were the most effective strategies among mid cap ETFs.
Small Cap Equities
Small cap equities have been among the best performers of the year, but not all funds have turned in equivalent performances:
The winner: The dividend-weighted ETF blew the other methodologies out of the water, claiming bragging rights as the only small cap fund to finish the second quarter in positive territory for the year.
Results
Market cap weighting is the most widely known and used technique in constructing equity indexes. But many investors have embraced alternatives to cap-weighting, adopting strategies that use other fundamental factors to determine the allocation given to individual holdings. As demonstrated above, the choice of weighting methodology can have a pretty big impact on bottom line returns, and can sometimes be the difference between positive and negative territory.

The threat of high inflation looms large in the wake of the U.S. government's loose fiscal policy. That's why it will be important to find a source of investment income that will rise with inflation and help you keep all your retirement plans intact. Fortunately, dividend-focused exchange traded funds (ETFs) might do the trick.
In the past, dividend-paying common stocks were a popular way to invest for retirement, reports Tom Petruno for Market Beat . But with two market crashes in the last decade, many investors are spooked by the risk of capital loss.
However, with the recent market rally, advisors are optimistic and have started pushing the dividend-paying strategy to customers. [ What You Should Know About Dividend ETFs and Taxes. ]
"We're pushing this idea with clients now," said Rich Weiss, who as chief investment officer at City National Bank in Los Angeles oversees about $55 billion. "There's a great case to be made for it." [ How Dividend ETFs Add Oomph. ]
Here are some points to that case:
It's easy to find stocks paying yields greater than 3%, while a 5-year Treasury note yields about 2.6%. [ Dividend ETFs That Beat Buffett's Yield. ]
The United States will have to tighten up its fiscal policy by raising interest rates sometime in the near future. That will depress bond prices, making investments in these vehicles less attractive. In the case that an investor sells a bond before maturity, higher yields will also result in a loss of principal.
Dividend-paying stocks offer payments that can rise with inflation. Case in point: Abbot Laboratories (NYSE: ABT ) has lifted its dividend by 60%, Heinz (NYSE: HNZ ) by 47% and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ ) by 71% since 2005. Inflation over that period was 13%.
In the wake of the economic recovery, 284 firms have increased dividends in Q1, while only 48 have reduced dividends in the same period.
The Obama administration wants to keep the dividend tax rate at 15% for couples earning less than $250,000 a year. Bond interest is taxed as ordinary income.
Josh Peters of Morningstar says that although dividend-paying stocks are the way to go, it will be hard to find bargain prices for them, especially as the market continues to rally. [ Where You Can Find Value in ETFs. ]
In that case, investors can offload the research to professionals and invest in dividend-focused ETFs to build a strong retirement portfolio.

While August brought with it a pullback following the market’s strong so far this year, the past few sessions have seen momentum build again.
The good news, according to Andrew Slimmon, managing director and senior portfolio manager at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, is that the market’s advance is set to continue.
Boosted by the Q3 earnings season, Slimmon sees the S&P 500 nearing the 5,000 mark by the end of the year, which would not only represent an 11% increase from current levels, but would amount to a new record, beating the 4,818 notched at the start of 2022.
"Year-over-year quarterly earnings are going to inflect from negative to positive after Q3,” Slimmon has said. “Historically, this is greeted positively by equities.”
Meanwhile, the stock experts at Morgan Stanley also have an idea which stocks are going to do well against this positive backdrop. They are pointing investors toward a pair of equities they see positioned to meaningfully outperform - they see both generating returns of at least 60% in the months ahead.
To also get an idea for what the rest of the Street has in mind for these names, we ran these tickers through the TipRanks database – a platform that tracks and measures the performance of anyone giving financial advice online. Here’s what we found.
Despegar.com Corporation (DESP)
To get started, we’ll look at one of Latin America’s most experienced travel agencies. Despegar.com is recognized across the region, and recommended by satisfied travelers. The company operates in 20 countries, providing a full range of travel services and products, including airline tickets, travel packages, hotels, vacation rentals, and more. Despegar has served more than 17 million customers as a one-stop marketplace for every traveler’s vacation planning.
Some numbers show the scale that Despegar operates on. The company can link travelers to more than 800 airlines, 1260 car rental agencies, 7,700 leisure activities, and 660,000 accommodations across Latin America. Services are offered under two brands, Despegar, the flagship brand, and Decolar in Brazil.
Earlier this month, Despegar reported its 2Q23 numbers, and despite being its seasonally weakest quarter, generated record revenue of $165.5 million, amounting to a 23.1% year-over-year increase while beating expectations by $6.73 million. Likewise, EPS of $0.25 came in ahead of the forecast, by 1 cent. Additionally, with travel demand continuing to recover in Latin America, the company delivered gross Bookings of $1.3 billion in the quarter. Looking ahead, Despegar reiterated its expectation for 2023 revenue between $640 million to $700 million, compared to consensus at $669.48 million.
Laying out the Morgan Stanley case for further growth here, and charting a solid path for investors to follow, analyst Andrew Ruben has good things to say about this stock. He writes, “We see cyclical, secular, and company-specific drivers supporting revenue growth for Despegar... We look for Despegar to grow revenue +25% y/y in 2023E and at a +12% 2022-2027E CAGR... We think Despegar has room to gain share — as a pure-play on the LatAm market, benefitting from network effects in a region with a high degree of hotel and airline fragmentation. Despegar ranked favorably in our detailed channel check of 15 Brazil/Mexico travel platforms, spanning 12 metrics across payments, ease-of-use, recommendations, and personalization tools.”
These comments inform Ruben’s Overweight (i.e. Buy) rating on the shares, while his $13 price target implies a 12-month gain of 63%. (To watch Ruben’s track record, click here)
Overall, this stock has picked up only 2 analyst reviews recently, although both are positive, giving it a Moderate Buy consensus rating. The $12 average price target and $7.95 trading price together suggest ~51% one-year upside potential. (See DESP stock forecast)
Pharvaris N.V. (PHVS)
From the travel industry, we’ll shift gears and move over to biopharmaceuticals. Pharvaris is a clinical-stage biopharma firm working on new treatments for hereditary angioderma (HAE), a serious skin disease characterized by severe outbreaks of extreme swelling. The company’s focus is on bradykinin B2-receptor antagonists, a novel drug class, orally dosed, with application in preventing and treating attacks of HAE.
Pharvaris is developing deucrictibant, a novel small molecule therapeutic agent that the company is studying for its potential as a safe, effective, and convenient treatment for all sub-types of HAE. Pharvaris is formulating the drug to be used as both a prophylactic treatment and an on-demand treatment for the relief of acute disease symptoms.
Currently, Pharvaris has several pipeline research tracks into deucrictibant. The two of most immediate interest are PHVS416 and PHVS719.
The first of these, -416, was until recently the subject of an FDA clinical hold. This was partially lifted this past June, after regulatory review of the preplanned interim analysis of the ongoing 26-week nonclinical study. The hold was lifted on its IND (investigational new drug) application, for the drug as an on-demand treatment for acute attacks of HAE.
The firm’s IND for -416 remains subject to an additional hold from the FDA, as a prophylactic treatment for HAE, but the company expects to submit additional data by year’s end, aiming to have that hold lifted as well. While this hold affects the CHAPTER-1 Phase 2 study in the US, the study is a global clinical trial – and has proceeded outside of the US. The company announced earlier this month that CHAPTER-1 had completed enrollment. The company expects to announce top-line data from the CHAPTER-1 study by the end of 2023.
Also of note is PHVS719. This is an extended release capsule, designed for once-daily dosing and use as a prophylactic treatment HAE. The drug is currently undergoing a Phase 1 trial in healthy volunteers, testing the safety and tolerability profile of the drug formulation.
This biopharma researcher caught the eye of Morgan Stanley’s Maxwell Skor. The analyst emphasizes that the company’s leading product continues to show a sound safety profile, and writes of the stock, “We believe Pharvaris is positioned to deliver the first oral therapy for the on-demand treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE) supported by positive Ph2 RAPIDe-1 data and the FDA lifting their clinical hold. The decision to lift the clinical hold for on-demand treatment suggests growing confidence in the safety profile of deucrictibant and alignment on the requested nonclinical study design. We see a viable market opportunity with on-demand and short-term prophylactic treatment, while building confidence in the Ph2 CHAPTER-1 prophylactic readout (YE23) based on a de-risked mechanism-ofaction (MoA) and trial design.”
Looking forward, Skor goes on to rate Pharvaris’ shares as Overweight (a Buy) while his price target, set at $34, implies the stock will gain ~66% on the one-year horizon.
All in all, PHVS has picked up 3 recent analyst reviews, which are split into 2 Buys and one Sell – for a Moderate Buy consensus view. The $22 average price target suggests a 7% upside potential for the coming year. (See Pharvaris stock forecast)

3 Stocks to Avoid This Week
|
DESP
|
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week-92
|
nan

Wall Street took another hit last week. I thought my three stocks to avoid -- Mattel, Despegar.com, and Tupperware Brands -- were going to lose to the market in the past week. They plummeted 4%, 9%, and 31%, respectively. The final result was an average drop of 14.7% for the week.
The S&P 500 moved 2.1% lower. I was right. I've been correct in 61 of the past 95 weeks, or 64% of the time.
Let's turn our attention to the week ahead. I see Dollar Tree (NASDAQ: DLTR), Affirm (NASDAQ: AFRM), and Citi Trends (NASDAQ: CTRN) as stocks you might want to consider steering clear of this week. Let's go over my near-term concerns with all three investments.
1. Dollar Tree
There's no point in shaking the leaves of Dollar Tree. Revenue has historically been meager but steady for the thrift-store retailer. This should be the seventh consecutive fiscal year of single-digit revenue growth.
The problem at Dollar Tree lately is the bottom line. The parent company behind Family Dollar and its namesake stores fell short of Wall Street profit targets in its fiscal first quarter three months ago. More importantly, it hosed down its full-year earnings guidance by more than just the degree of the first quarter's miss. Sales are fine, but keeping its costs in line has been a problem.
Image source: Getty Images.
Dollar Tree's bottom-line shortfall stems from two things. The retailer is naturally struggling as shoppers shift to consumables, items that carry lower mark-ups than its other products. Dollar Tree also points to higher shrinkage, basically theft, refund fraud, or other operational losses.
It's against this environment of eroding margins that Dollar Tree will step up with fresh financials on Thursday morning. Analysts are bracing for $7.18 billion in sales, the steady 6% increase that it has averaged over the past few years. The dagger is the bottom line. The market is now projecting a 46% plunge in year-over-year earnings for the fiscal second quarter. Trees provide shade, but it's OK to throw some shade Dollar Tree's way now.
2. Affirm
There was a lot of buzz for Affirm and "buy now pay later" (BNPL) stocks a couple of years ago. Investors probably should have paid then to buy later. Affirm stock has plummeted 92% from its 2021 high, and it's reporting fresh financials this week.
Affirm's business isn't humming along these days. Revenue growth has decelerated sharply over the past five quarters, going from 77% to 7% with its year-over-year top-line gains in that time. But it's not just the top line that's been a pressure point. Affirm has posted a larger-than-expected loss in three of its past four quarterly reports.
Analysts see Affirm's deficit widening when it reports on Thursday afternoon. It's more than three years away from becoming profitable, and it's apparently heading in the wrong direction. Wall Street does see revenue rising 12% in the fiscal fourth-quarter report. It would be its first quarter of accelerating revenue growth in more than a year, but with the economic outlook still cloudy and borrowing costs high, it's hard to get excited about Affirm's near-term prospects.
3. Citi Trends
The clouds are getting darker at Citi Trends. The retail chain that sells apparel, accessories, and home goods in underserved communities has been struggling lately, and it provides another potentially troubling financial update on Tuesday morning.
It will be hard to top Citi Trends' previous performance in terms of bad news. It posted a quarterly loss that was more than double the red ink the market was forecasting. It also painted a gloomy near-term outlook that had analysts scrambling to revise their estimates. Citi Trends is no longer expected to be profitable this fiscal year, and next year's target has been slashed dramatically over the past three months.
The 611-store chain is expected to see its quarterly deficit more than triple on an 11% year-over-year slide in sales for its fiscal second quarter. That's not good, and that's unfortunate. Citi Trends is an important retailer. It sets up shop in African American and multicultural neighborhoods with largely low-income families.
Many traditional retailers overlook these significant neighborhoods. Half of Citi Trends' shoppers earn $25,000 or less a year, and the absence of Citi Trends would leave a retailing void in the community. It needs to succeed, but with the stock trading lower this year -- down 17% in an otherwise rising market -- good news has been in short supply.
The stock market is always on the move. If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Dollar Tree, Affirm, and Citi Trends this week.

What's Next for Despegar.com?
While Despegar.com has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?

Growth is king once again. After a dismal 2022, high potential tech stocks are back in fashion. AI stocks have taken top billing amid breakthroughs in generative artificial intelligence applications. However, there are plenty of tech stocks with explosive growth to be found that are still at great entry prices today. These best tech stocks to buy have strong upside but haven’t yet seen their share prices rocket higher. That makes these seven promising tech stocks to invest in today.
Best Tech Stocks to Buy: Unity Software (U)
Source: viewimage / Shutterstock.com
It’s time to give Unity Software (NYSE:U) a second chance. After going public at $52/share in 2020 amid a hot market for gaming stocks, shares would hit $200 by 2021. Since then, it’s been a much tougher game. Unity to an all-time low of $21 before rebounding to $43 today. Still, the stock is below its IPO price and way down from its 2021 peak.
Unity’s fall is understandable. The company’s core video game engine business is heavily tied to what’s perceived to be low-quality advertising on mobile games. It’s taken longer than expected to develop broader revenue streams. Expansions into other fields for Unity’s engine, such as e-commerce and architecture, still haven’t paid off in a dramatic fashion. Part of the initial hype cycle around Unity was tied to the metaverse and virtual reality. As interest for the metaverse dried up, Unity stock plunged. The recent Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) Vision Pro announcement, however, has rekindled this excitement.
Specifically, Unity shares surged on news that it will be a key partner in helping to create the gaming ecosystem for Apple’s new augmented reality product. How large a market this will be remains to be seen. However, Unity has recently become profitable, and revenues are growing at a rapid rate. The business is on a fine footing, and the Apple news could offer dramatic upside on top of that.
Best Tech Stocks to Buy: DocuSign (DOCU)

DocuSign (NASDAQ:DOCU) was one of the biggest winners of the work-from-home movement. DOCU stock shot up from $80 in 2019 to $300 at the height of the remote work trend. Then a funny thing happened. As offices opened back up, investor enthusiasm turned to disgust. Today, DOCU stock is selling for less than $55/share. This marks a huge discount to where it was before the onset of COVID-19 to say nothing of DocuSign’s 2021 peak.
Did a $300 share price make sense? No. But $55 seems much too pessimistic as well. At this price, DOCU stock is going for just 21 times estimated fiscal year 2024 earnings. Meanwhile, the core business is still growing nicely, with revenues up 12% in the most recent quarter. DocuSign isn’t enjoying breathtaking growth anymore, but the use case for digitally signed documents remains as strong as ever.
Best Tech Stocks to Buy: Trimble (TRMB)

Trimble (NASDAQ:TRMB) is a company focused on providing digital transformation services for a number of different industries. It provides tools to help companies survey land, plan optimal routes for things such as shipping and trucking, and optimize agricultural work and processes.
Many investors discovered Trimble thanks to Cathie Wood of Ark Invest. When she launched her Ark Space Exploration & Innovation ETF (NYSEARCA:ARKX), Trimble was the top holding. Even today, it remains the fund’s second-largest position today. However, interest in Ark funds has waned, and leading holdings like Trimble have sold off. But that could mark an opportunity.
As for Trimble specifically, at first, it might seem odd to put what’s primarily an agribusiness into a space ETF. However, there is something there around using satellite observations, big data, and AI processes to apply new efficiency techniques to ancient industries like farming and forestry. It’s not hard to imagine a time when these sorts of companies regain investor favor. In any case, at 20 times forward earnings, TRMB stock is now being offered at a fine starting price.
Endava (DAVA)
Source: shutterstock.com/CC7
Endava (NYSE:DAVA) is a leading information technology shop.
The business model is a simple and highly profitable one: Outsourcing. Endava hires skilled IT professionals in cheaper labor markets such as Eastern Europe and South America. It then contracts out their services to large companies in wealthy markets such as the United States and United Kingdom. This labor arbitrage has led to rapid growth and favorable shareholder returns. Over the past 18 months, however, the IT outsourcers have plunged. The slowdown in the tech industry certainly hasn’t helped as IT budgets are trimmed. The business model also came into question to some degree after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine displaced many engineering employees located in those countries.
And DAVA stock is particularly on sale since a large part of its revenue base comes from banks, insurance companies, and payments firms. These customers have had a rough year, and thus it has put short-term pressure on Endava’s revenue growth. However, over the longer-term, analysts expect Endava to return to its historical 20% annualized revenue growth rate. Meanwhile, shares now go for just 20 times forward earnings.
Despegar.com (DESP)

Despegar.com (NYSE:DESP) is the largest online travel agent in Latin America. Originally from Argentina, Despegar is now a leading player in Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil (where it operates under the name Decolar) among other markets. The business was hammered during the pandemic. Ultimately, DESP stock fell from its IPO price of $26/share to a low of $5. However, Despegar now appears set to lift off once again. Shares have jumped in recent weeks around excitement thanks to strong travel demand and booking trends in various Latin American markets.
Analysts expect the company to return to profitability in the latter half of 2023. Historically, it’s often a good time to buy growth stocks when they reach that inflection point of turning a profit. Throw in improving sentiment around both Latin America and e-commerce services, and Despegar could be set for further gains.
Paysafe (PSFE)
Source: Chompoo Suriyo / Shutterstock.com
Paysafe (NYSE:PSFE) is a digital payments and financial services company. The firm was a widely-publicized SPAC with a prominent backer, Bill Foley. These factors arguably allowed Paysafe to obtain an overly-generous valuation at the time of its SPAC offering. Since then, however, Paysafe has lost roughly 90% of its value. PSFE stock recently executed a 10:1 reverse split, meaning that the firm came public at a split-adjusted $100 per share and is at just $11 today.
However, unlike many broken SPACs, Paysafe is far from ruined. The company is actually performing alright. Last quarter, revenues grew and topped analyst expectations. Additionally, the company was significantly profitable on an adjusted net income basis. It’s no secret that payments stocks have collapsed in the wake of a sharp slowdown in e-commerce growth since 2021. However, some firms, like Paysafe, have gotten thrown out with the bathwater.
Terran Orbital (LLAP)
Source: Shutterstock
For investors shooting for the stars, Terran Orbital (NYSE:LLAP) is an intriguing pick. The company designs and manufactures small satellites and is already in commercial production. It scored $94 million of revenues last year. Terran is a tiny company with a share price of $1.35 and a market capitalization of less than $250 million. But it has already established a ton of credibility. For example, defense contractor Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT) invested $100 million into Terran last year to increase its manufacturing capacity.
Terran built on this framework in February, when it signed a gigantic deal. It announced that it had signed a $2.4 billion contract with Rivada Space Networks for a total of 300 spacecrafts. This will include 288 low-earth satellites and 12 spare units. This is a simply stunning deal, with $2.4 billion coming in at roughly 10 times today’s market capitalization for Terran Orbital.
Terran is a high-risk investment given its small size. It will almost certainly need to raise more capital to fulfill the Rivada contract and other future satellite orders. However, if it can grab the first-mover advantage in this emerging field, the shares could deliver tremendous returns.

Why Despegar Was a High-Flying Stock This Week

What happened
Latin American online travel agency Despegar's (NYSE: DESP) stock was taking off like an airplane in a hurry this week. According to data compiled by S&P Global Market Intelligence, the shares were up by 15% week to date as of Friday before market open. This was due in no small part to the company's publication of its first-quarter results.
So what
For its inaugural frame of this year, Despegar's total gross bookings amounted to $1.1 billion, a robust 44% improvement over the same quarter of 2022. Revenue also headed sharply north, rising by 41% to just under $159 million. That was a new quarterly record for the travel company.
Despite the substantial gains in those top-level financials, Despegar was not profitable on the bottom line. Its net loss was considerably narrower, though, at $700,000 ($0.10 per share) against the deep year-ago deficit of $30.7 million.
This meant a mixed quarter for the company, as the collective analyst estimate was just under $155 million for revenue, but a narrower $0.05 per share for net loss.
In the earnings release, CEO Damian Scokin said that "The quarter's performance reflects our ability to consistently deliver the best travel experience to customers while maintaining our disciplined focus on profitable growth and leveraging Despegar's scale with suppliers."
Now what
Most investors look forward with their stocks instead of concentrating on the tail view.
This explains the positive market reaction to Despegar's first quarter -- the company is guiding for revenue of $640 million to $700 million for full-year 2023. Even at the low end, that easily beats the average analyst projection of $632 million. Despegar is also anticipating non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) of $80 million to $100 million.

Despegar.com (DESP) Reports Q1 Loss, Tops Revenue Estimates

Despegar.com (DESP) came out with a quarterly loss of $0.10 per share versus the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.01. This compares to loss of $0.45 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -1,100%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this online travel company would post a loss of $0.03 per share when it actually produced a loss of $0.30, delivering a surprise of -900%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates.
Despegar.com, which belongs to the Zacks Transportation - Services industry, posted revenues of $158.71 million for the quarter ended March 2023, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.64%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $112.41 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Despegar.com shares have added about 15% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.3%.
What's Next for Despegar.com?
While Despegar.com has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Despegar.com: favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is -$0.02 on $146.82 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $0.12 on $641.35 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Transportation - Services is currently in the top 45% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
REV Group (REVG), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended April 2023.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.21 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +23.5%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
REV Group's revenues are expected to be $582.37 million, up 1.1% from the year-ago quarter.

3 Stocks to Avoid This Week

DESP
|
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-stocks-to-avoid-this-week-78
|
nan

|
Wall Street's rally late last week wasn't enough to get it out of the red. I thought my "three stocks to avoid" -- Yeti, Robinhood Markets, and Electronic Arts -- were going to lose to the market in the past week. They slipped 6%, fell 1%, and closed unchanged, respectively. The final result was an average dip of 2.3% for the week.
The S&P 500 inched 0.3% lower. I was right. I've been correct in 53 of the past 82 weeks, or 65% of the time.
Let's turn our attention to the week ahead. I see Carvana (NYSE: CVNA), Despegar.com (NYSE: DESP), and Foot Locker (NYSE: FL) as stocks you might want to consider steering clear of this week. Let's go over my near-term concerns with all three investments.
1. Carvana
One of the more surprising stocks to more than double this year is Carvana. The used car retailer entered the year on the brink of bankruptcy, and by the time it hit peak pessimism in early February, more than half of its outstanding shares were sold short.
Carvana has made some necessary cost-cutting moves, and the market is still buzzing from the blowout quarter it posted earlier this month. It came through with better-than-expected financial results, scoring its highest gross profit per vehicle sold in its history.
Image source: Getty Images.
It's been a good year for Carvana shareholders. The stock is up 122% in 2023 and trading 51% higher in May alone. It doesn't mean that it's firing on all cylinders. The company still needs to refuel. With supply chain issues fading in the rearview mirror, the pricing leverage for secondhand rides is gone now that new cars are back in stock at local showrooms.
Analysts don't see Carvana turning a profit until 2027. It also has more than $9 billion in debt, a hefty tab after years of heady expansion in a thorny climate of rising borrowing costs.
The way regional banks have imploded lately, it's also hard to get excited about the state of the used-car financing industry. Carvana has steered well on this tricky road, but the shares are susceptible after recent moves higher.
2. Despegar.com
The travel industry was hit hard early in the pandemic, but Despegar.com's recovery could be upended with economic upheaval in its Latin American stronghold. The Argentina-based travel site will be serving up fresh financials on Thursday morning. The flight might prove to be a bit choppy.
Expectations are sky high. The market's bracing for a 39% increase in revenue. Analysts also see a small profit for the first quarter, ending a streak of 15 consecutive reports with adjusted losses. A breakthrough would be noteworthy, but Despegar has missed Wall Street's profit targets in each of the last four quarters. Why should it be different this time?
Things aren't all bad at Despegar. The Latin American travel portal has come through with five consecutive quarters of positive earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Revenue has finally recovered to pre-pandemic levels. Analysts also see a profit for all of 2023, a nod to the scalability of its model and its healthy recent take rate.
In the sage investing advice of Irish songwriter Chris de Burgh, don't pay the ferryman until he gets you to the other side. Let's see if it can actually post an earnings beat -- and not another quarterly loss -- before calling this a successful turnaround.
The resignation of its chief financial officer earlier this year isn't necessarily problematic, but Despegar has a long track record of disappointing investors. The stock has plummeted nearly 80% since going public six years ago.
3. Foot Locker
Foot Locker is a shopping mall staple, but let's blow the whistle on the chain where employees wear referee work shirts. It reports results for its fiscal first quarter on Friday morning, and the athletic footwear and apparel retailer isn't likely to impress the market.
Analysts see a 9% year-over-year decline in sales, and quarterly profitability cut in half. Foot Locker has beaten Wall Street bottom-line targets consistently over the past year, but the consensus estimates have been trending lower lately.
The stock is appealing to income investors given its current 4.1% yield, but is the payout sustainable? Analysts are bracing for a 30% decline in earnings for all of this year on a top-line downturn.
Foot Locker has a global chain of roughly 2,700 stores. It's great to be a large global player when the world's economy is on the upswing, but we're not there now. Consumers will likely scale back on purchases as pocketbooks tighten worldwide, and the retailer's debt-heavy balance sheet isn't a good look in this environment of rising interest rates.
The stock market is always on the move. If you're looking for safe stocks, you aren't likely to find them in Carvana, Despegar.com, and Foot Locker this week.

Wall Street Analysts See a 25.45% Upside in Despegar.com (DESP): Can the Stock Really Move This High?

Shares of Despegar.com (DESP) have gained 3.3% over the past four weeks to close the last trading session at $5.58, but there could still be a solid upside left in the stock if short-term price targets of Wall Street analysts are any indication. Going by the price targets, the mean estimate of $7 indicates a potential upside of 25.5%.
The mean estimate comprises three short-term price targets with a standard deviation of $1. While the lowest estimate of $6 indicates a 7.5% increase from the current price level, the most optimistic analyst expects the stock to surge 43.4% to reach $8. It's very important to note the standard deviation here, as it helps understand the variability of the estimates. The smaller the standard deviation, the greater the agreement among analysts.
While the consensus price target is a much-coveted metric for investors, solely banking on this metric to make an investment decision may not be wise at all. That's because the ability and unbiasedness of analysts in setting price targets have long been questionable.
However, an impressive consensus price target is not the only factor that indicates a potential upside in DESP. This view is strengthened by the agreement among analysts that the company will report better earnings than what they estimated earlier. Though a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions doesn't give any idea as to how much the stock could surge, it has proven effective in predicting an upside.
Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
Here's What You Should Know About Analysts' Price Targets
According to researchers at several universities across the globe, a price target is one of many pieces of information about a stock that misleads investors far more often than it guides. In fact, empirical research shows that price targets set by several analysts, irrespective of the extent of agreement, rarely indicate where the price of a stock could actually be heading.
While Wall Street analysts have deep knowledge of a company's fundamentals and the sensitivity of its business to economic and industry issues, many of them tend to set overly optimistic price targets. Are you wondering why?
They usually do that to drum up interest in shares of companies that their firms either have existing business relationships with or are looking to be associated with. In other words, business incentives of firms covering a stock often result in inflated price targets set by analysts.
However, a tight clustering of price targets, which is represented by a low standard deviation, indicates that analysts have a high degree of agreement about the direction and magnitude of a stock's price movement. While that doesn't necessarily mean the stock will hit the average price target, it could be a good starting point for further research aimed at identifying the potential fundamental driving forces.
That said, while investors should not entirely ignore price targets, making an investment decision solely based on them could lead to disappointing ROI. So, price targets should always be treated with a high degree of skepticism.
Why DESP Could Witness a Solid Upside
There has been increasing optimism among analysts lately about the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by strong agreement among them in revising EPS estimates higher. And that could be a legitimate reason to expect an upside in the stock. After all, empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.
Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has increased 271.4%, as one estimate has moved higher compared to no negative revision.
Moreover, DESP currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on four factors related to earnings estimates. Given an impressive externally-audited track record, this is a more conclusive indication of the stock's potential upside in the near term. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Therefore, while the consensus price target may not be a reliable indicator of how much DESP could gain, the direction of price movement it implies does appear to be a good guide.

The price trend for Despegar.com (DESP) has been bearish lately and the stock has lost 5.7% over the past four weeks. However, the formation of a hammer chart pattern in its last trading session indicates that the stock could witness a trend reversal soon, as bulls might have gained significant control over the price to help it find support.
The formation of a hammer pattern is considered a technical indication of nearing a bottom with likely subsiding of selling pressure. But this is not the only factor that makes a bullish case for the stock. On the fundamental side, strong agreement among Wall Street analysts in raising earnings estimates for this online travel company enhances its prospects of a trend reversal.
Understanding Hammer Chart and the Technique to Trade It
This is one of the popular price patterns in candlestick charting. A minor difference between the opening and closing prices forms a small candle body, and a higher difference between the low of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick being at least twice the length of the real body, the candle resembles a 'hammer.'
In simple terms, during a downtrend, with bears having absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the previous day's close, and again closes lower. On the day the hammer pattern is formed, maintaining the downtrend, the stock makes a new low. However, after eventually finding support at the low of the day, some amount of buying interest emerges, pushing the stock up to close the session near or slightly above its opening price.
When it occurs at the bottom of a downtrend, this pattern signals that the bears might have lost control over the price. And, the success of bulls in stopping the price from falling further indicates a potential trend reversal.
Hammer candles can occur on any timeframe -- such as one-minute, daily, weekly -- and are utilized by both short-term as well as long-term investors.
Like every technical indicator, the hammer chart pattern has its limitations. Particularly, as the strength of a hammer depends on its placement on the chart, it should always be used in conjunction with other bullish indicators.
Here's What Makes the Trend Reversal More Likely for DESP
There has been an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions for DESP lately, which can certainly be considered a bullish indicator on the fundamental side. That's because a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
Over the last 30 days, the consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 271.4%. What it means is that the sell-side analysts covering DESP are majorly in agreement that the company will report better earnings than they predicted earlier.
If this is not enough, you should note that DESP currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than the 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. And stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 usually outperform the market. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>>
Moreover, the Zacks Rank has proven to be an excellent timing indicator, helping investors identify precisely when a company's prospects are beginning to improve. So, for the shares of Despegar.com, a Zacks Rank of 2 is a more conclusive fundamental indication of a potential turnaround.

Investors might want to bet on Despegar.com (DESP), as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This upgrade primarily reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates, which is one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
The Zacks rating relies solely on a company's changing earnings picture. It tracks EPS estimates for the current and following years from the sell-side analysts covering the stock through a consensus measure -- the Zacks Consensus Estimate.
