Weekly Dividend Stock Ideas Researched by The Dividend Yield Weekly.
Our weekly Dividend Idea is the aerospace- and defense-related stock, Lockheed Martin (LMT). The company's market price is estimated at $84 by Morningstar, which represents a downside of 9.4%. LMT has a Financial Strength rating of 7 out of 10 and is an attractive dividend growth stock with big value. The company raised dividends over 10 consecutive years and raised dividends in average with a double-digit yield. The payout is only at 43.9% at a twelve-trailing-month basis. The strong cash flow of $4.3 billion from last fiscal year is a solid basis for further dividend hikes. In 2011, the company paid $1.1 billion in dividends and bought $2.5 billion of its own shares. We like the strong cash flow of LMT and the high exposure to the U.S. economy (85% of sales are generated in the United States) as well as the networking to the government. This could also be a big burden if the U.S. government cuts military budgets due to financial spending problems. It could also be an accelerator if the budgets are raised in the long-run. In addition, we see the company in its early stage as a highly profitable commodity trader. LMT is one of the largest military supplier. The full report is readable here.
