Its operations are also relatively stable because of its focus on consumer staples like food and condiments. Though it's a slow-growth business, Kraft Heinz is a solid investment because of its massive scale and industry-leading brands.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e5291fa3697388400c394d36f53b84c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</p>\n<p>Kraft Heinz was formed in 2015 through a merger between Kraft Foods and Heinz, which gave it a broad catalog of well-known, segment-leading brands like Heinz Ketchup, Kraft cheese, and Jell-O.&nbsp;Buffett got involved with Heinz in 2013 and helped orchestrate the merger with Kraft. </p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Buffett, the company has faced headwinds from irregular accounting and competition from newer healthier brands -- which led to a staggering $15.4 billion write-down on the value of some of its assets in 2019. Buffett admitted in an annual shareholder meeting that he had made a mistake with the Kraft portion of Kraft Heinz. </p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Berkshire still owns the stock. Moreover, with the stock price down by around 63% from its 2017 all time high of $97 per share, much of the downside looks priced in -- especially considering the company's many advantages.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Brand dominance gives Kraft Heinz an economic moat -- the ability to maintain a competitive advantage over rivals. Potential upstarts are unlikely to have the resources to unseat Heinz from the No. 1 spot in the ketchup segment, for example. As such, the company's revenue streams look relatively safe. </p>\n<p>And according to CEO Miguel Patricio, Kraft Heinz expects to come out of the pandemic \"much stronger\" than it entered by leveraging its massive scale to tackle challenges like inflation. With the Federal Reserve expecting annual inflation to hit 4.2% by the year's end, Kraft Heinz's economies of scale advantage could help it produce items more cheaply than rivals.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Second-quarter sales fell 0.5% year over year to $6.62 billion, beating expectations by roughly $70 million.&nbsp;The company also boasts a dividend yield of 4.4%.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>The case for Verizon</h2>\n<p>If you thought Kraft Heinz was cheap, Verizon's valuation will blow your mind. Trading for just 10 times forward earnings, the telecommunications giant is a rare bargain. The company is poised to benefit from its significant moat in the telecommunications industry, and with a dividend payout ratio of 52% should have no trouble sustaining its large distributions to shareholders.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway purchased $8.6 billion worth of Verizon stock in the fourth quarter of 2020. He probably likes the company because its sheer scale (Verizon's 4G LTE reaches 98% of the U.S. population) keeps it competitive in a market with just two other significant players, ensuring relatively reliable revenue -- so long as people continue using cellphones and other network-reliant devices.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the second quarter, Verizon's revenue increased by 11% to $33.8 billion, due in part to an easier-than-usual comparison to 2020. According to CEO Hans Vestberg, Verizon's network and in-store traffic are almost back to pre-pandemic volumes. And the rollout of 5G-enabled devices will also be an exciting tailwind for Verizon as it continues to deploy its 5G network.

Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) are among those in his conglomerate's holdings, and both could boost your portfolio from here. \nThe case for Kraft Heinz\nTrading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of just 14, Kraft Heinz is a quintessential Buffett value stock. Its operations are also relatively stable because of its focus on consumer staples like food and condiments. Though it's a slow-growth business, Kraft Heinz is a solid investment because of its massive scale and industry-leading brands. \n\nWarren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nKraft Heinz was formed in 2015 through a merger between Kraft Foods and Heinz, which gave it a broad catalog of well-known, segment-leading brands like Heinz Ketchup, Kraft cheese, and Jell-O. Buffett got involved with Heinz in 2013 and helped orchestrate the merger with Kraft. \nUnfortunately for Buffett, the company has faced headwinds from irregular accounting and competition from newer healthier brands -- which led to a staggering $15.4 billion write-down on the value of some of its assets in 2019. Buffett admitted in an annual shareholder meeting that he had made a mistake with the Kraft portion of Kraft Heinz. \nNevertheless, Berkshire still owns the stock. Moreover, with the stock price down by around 63% from its 2017 all time high of $97 per share, much of the downside looks priced in -- especially considering the company's many advantages. \nBrand dominance gives Kraft Heinz an economic moat -- the ability to maintain a competitive advantage over rivals. Potential upstarts are unlikely to have the resources to unseat Heinz from the No. 1 spot in the ketchup segment, for example. As such, the company's revenue streams look relatively safe. \nAnd according to CEO Miguel Patricio, Kraft Heinz expects to come out of the pandemic \"much stronger\" than it entered by leveraging its massive scale to tackle challenges like inflation. With the Federal Reserve expecting annual inflation to hit 4.2% by the year's end, Kraft Heinz's economies of scale advantage could help it produce items more cheaply than rivals. \nSecond-quarter sales fell 0.5% year over year to $6.62 billion, beating expectations by roughly $70 million. The company also boasts a dividend yield of 4.4%. \nThe case for Verizon\nIf you thought Kraft Heinz was cheap, Verizon's valuation will blow your mind. Trading for just 10 times forward earnings, the telecommunications giant is a rare bargain. The company is poised to benefit from its significant moat in the telecommunications industry, and with a dividend payout ratio of 52% should have no trouble sustaining its large distributions to shareholders. \nBerkshire Hathaway purchased $8.6 billion worth of Verizon stock in the fourth quarter of 2020. He probably likes the company because its sheer scale (Verizon's 4G LTE reaches 98% of the U.S. population) keeps it competitive in a market with just two other significant players, ensuring relatively reliable revenue -- so long as people continue using cellphones and other network-reliant devices. \nIn the second quarter, Verizon's revenue increased by 11% to $33.8 billion, due in part to an easier-than-usual comparison to 2020. According to CEO Hans Vestberg, Verizon's network and in-store traffic are almost back to pre-pandemic volumes. And the rollout of 5G-enabled devices will also be an exciting tailwind for Verizon as it continues to deploy its 5G network. The higher bandwidth and capacity technology could allow Verizon to charge more for plans and expand the use cases for Internet of Things applications. \nVerizon's dividend makes it a great pick for income investors. At current share prices, it yields 4.7%, and has increased its payout for eight consecutive years. \nBetting on value\nWith the S&P 500 trading at an average P/E ratio of 35, Kraft Heinz and Verizon's valuations of 14 and 10 times forward EPS make them rare bargains in a pricey market. Both companies are mature and relatively slow-growing, but their healthy dividends and defensive business models could add stability and income to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":868355531,"gmtCreate":1632614092023,"gmtModify":1632653074694,"author":{"id":"3575032020160515","authorId":"3575032020160515","name":"Mabes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4db6ec4bddf6a757226d79a42d9ee939","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like","listText":"Like","text":"Like","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":4,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/868355531","repostId":"1149730497","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1149730497","pubTimestamp":1632538837,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1149730497?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-25 11:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"7 Best Stocks To Buy for Investors Building a ‘Brands’ Portfolio","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1149730497","media":"investorplace","summary":"'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products ","content":"<p>'Brands' are big and these seven stocks each bring investors a stake in recognized quality products and services</p>\n<p>I saw a recent article from<i>Quartz at Work</i>about Reebok, other brand reboots, and what<b>Authentic Brands</b>plans to doto revitalize the once-dominant sneaker company. While the rise and fall of Reebok is a fascinating story, the article got me thinking about stocks to buy for the “Brands” portfolio.</p>\n<p>After all, Authentic Brands itself hasfiled to go public. My fellow<i>InvestorPlace</i>contributor Dana Blankenhorn calls it the most fascinating IPO of the year.</p>\n<p>“Authentic’s S-1has more pictures than<b>Pinterest</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PINS</u></b>), but tells little about the business. The numbers are for 2020, before a host of recent deals. It only identifies direct licensing revenue, $488 million of it in that year. But $211 million of that money, 43%, wound up as net income. This is said to justify a $10 billion enterprise valuation,” Dana wrote on Sep. 20.</p>\n<p>I agree with my colleague. It’s definitely up there. Heck, by the time I’ve written this, the company’s stock might be eligible for my newest portfolio.</p>\n<p>But, for now,<i>Finviz.com</i>tells me there are34 public companieswith the word “Brands” as part of their corporate name. So, I’ll recommend the seven best stocks to buy from the bunch.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Restaurant Brands International</b>(NYSE:<b><u>QSR)</u></b></li>\n <li><b>Constellation Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>STZ)</u></b></li>\n <li><b>Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security</b>(NYSE:<b><u>FBHS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Newell Brands</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NWL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Acuity Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AYI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Cornerstone Building Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CNR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BellRing Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BRBR</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Restaurant Brands International (QSR)</p>\n<p>I begrudgingly put Restaurant Brands International, the owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeye’s, on my list of stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>Burger King acquired Tim Hortons in 2014 to form RBI. Ever since, I’ve had a hard time accepting the merger, given Burger King’s CEO made each Tim Horton’s head office employee justify their jobs in15-minute interviews.</p>\n<p>To date, I’d say I was right to be concerned about the poor treatment of employees. Over the past five years through Sept. 22, QSR stock has a total return of 9.0%, less than the Canadian market on the whole and nearly half the return of the entire U.S. market.</p>\n<p>In August, Tim Hortons China, a joint-venture between RBI and Hong Kong private equity firm<b>Cartesian Capital</b>, agreed to merge with<b>Silver Crest Acquisition Corp.</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SLCR</u></b>) in a transaction that valued the Chinese segment of Tim Hortons at$1.7 billion.</p>\n<p>As long as<b>3G Capital</b>continues to own almost 30% of RBI stock, I’ll remain cautious in my praise.</p>\n<p>However, with$1.35 billionin trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF) and a 7.0% FCF yield, now could be an opportune time to pick up some shares.</p>\n<p>Constellation Brands (STZ)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51af367100d1d75a5ca277a1a9675c31\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ShinoStock / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>A telltale sign Constellation Brands has become a big deal in corporate America is therecent announcementthat it would move 400 of its employees from its offices in Canandaigua, New York, to downtown Rochester.</p>\n<p>“The company investment is estimated at $50 million, while Landers [Peter Landers, majority investor in group that owns the downtown property] says the owners/developers’ will spend close to $35 million on historic restoration, stripping paint from the barrel ceilings and brick walls, and building a 120-space parking structure,” The<i>Democrat &amp; Chronicle</i>reported.</p>\n<p>While Constellation is known for Corona and Modelo beer, Svedka vodka, and Woodbridge wine, amongst others, it isthe company’s investmentin<b>Canopy Growth</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CGC</u></b>) that gets most of the attention.</p>\n<p>That’s because it’s taking forever to see the benefits of its multi-billion-dollar investment in the Canadian cannabis company. Since it acquired9.9% in October 2017, STZ stock has gone sideways over nearly 48 months.</p>\n<p>As a glass-half-full kind of person, I see the potential upside of its Canopy investment as a big reason to buy at current prices.</p>\n<p>Constellation has a TTM FCF of$2.0 billion, good for an FCF yield of 4.9%. When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security (FBHS)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c43d12689a9a34fc77425af4b7ac66d2\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security wasspun offfrom<b>Fortune Brands Inc</b>, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.</p>\n<p>At the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands as<b>Beam Inc.</b>, the holding company’s spirits business. Beam was subsequently sold to<b>Suntory Holdings</b>in 2014 for $16 billion, including the assumption of debt.</p>\n<p>Fortune shareholders got one share of FBHS for each share in the parent. FBHS stock has generated a total return of 22.4% over the past decade, 548 basis points higher than the entire U.S. market.</p>\n<p>The company hasthree operating segments: Plumbing, Outdoors &amp; Security, and Cabinets.

Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.</p>\n<p>Cornerstone Building Brands (CNR)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/60a34aa2f9805656c3d30d8bf03763eb\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"227\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick</p>\n<p>Of all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.</p>\n<p>The North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair &amp; remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.</p>\n<p>Although the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.</p>\n<p>Since the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.</p>\n<p>A prominent owner of Cornerstone stock is<b>BlueTower Asset Management</b>, a Texas-based portfolio manager.

While the rise and fall of Reebok is a fascinating story, the article got me thinking about stocks to buy for the “Brands” portfolio.\nAfter all, Authentic Brands itself hasfiled to go public. My fellowInvestorPlacecontributor Dana Blankenhorn calls it the most fascinating IPO of the year.\n“Authentic’s S-1has more pictures thanPinterest(NYSE:PINS), but tells little about the business. The numbers are for 2020, before a host of recent deals. It only identifies direct licensing revenue, $488 million of it in that year. But $211 million of that money, 43%, wound up as net income. This is said to justify a $10 billion enterprise valuation,” Dana wrote on Sep. 20.\nI agree with my colleague. It’s definitely up there. Heck, by the time I’ve written this, the company’s stock might be eligible for my newest portfolio.\nBut, for now,Finviz.comtells me there are34 public companieswith the word “Brands” as part of their corporate name. So, I’ll recommend the seven best stocks to buy from the bunch.\n\nRestaurant Brands International(NYSE:QSR)\nConstellation Brands(NYSE:STZ)\nFortune Brands Home & Security(NYSE:FBHS)\nNewell Brands(NASDAQ:NWL)\nAcuity Brands(NYSE:AYI)\nCornerstone Building Brands(NYSE:CNR)\nBellRing Brands(NYSE:BRBR)\n\nStocks to Buy: Restaurant Brands International (QSR)\nI begrudgingly put Restaurant Brands International, the owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeye’s, on my list of stocks to buy.\nBurger King acquired Tim Hortons in 2014 to form RBI. Ever since, I’ve had a hard time accepting the merger, given Burger King’s CEO made each Tim Horton’s head office employee justify their jobs in15-minute interviews.\nTo date, I’d say I was right to be concerned about the poor treatment of employees. Over the past five years through Sept. 22, QSR stock has a total return of 9.0%, less than the Canadian market on the whole and nearly half the return of the entire U.S. market.\nIn August, Tim Hortons China, a joint-venture between RBI and Hong Kong private equity firmCartesian Capital, agreed to merge withSilver Crest Acquisition Corp.(NASDAQ:SLCR) in a transaction that valued the Chinese segment of Tim Hortons at$1.7 billion.\nAs long as3G Capitalcontinues to own almost 30% of RBI stock, I’ll remain cautious in my praise.\nHowever, with$1.35 billionin trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF) and a 7.0% FCF yield, now could be an opportune time to pick up some shares.\nConstellation Brands (STZ)Source: ShinoStock / Shutterstock.com\nA telltale sign Constellation Brands has become a big deal in corporate America is therecent announcementthat it would move 400 of its employees from its offices in Canandaigua, New York, to downtown Rochester.\n“The company investment is estimated at $50 million, while Landers [Peter Landers, majority investor in group that owns the downtown property] says the owners/developers’ will spend close to $35 million on historic restoration, stripping paint from the barrel ceilings and brick walls, and building a 120-space parking structure,” TheDemocrat & Chroniclereported.\nWhile Constellation is known for Corona and Modelo beer, Svedka vodka, and Woodbridge wine, amongst others, it isthe company’s investmentinCanopy Growth(NASDAQ:CGC) that gets most of the attention.\nThat’s because it’s taking forever to see the benefits of its multi-billion-dollar investment in the Canadian cannabis company. Since it acquired9.9% in October 2017, STZ stock has gone sideways over nearly 48 months.\nAs a glass-half-full kind of person, I see the potential upside of its Canopy investment as a big reason to buy at current prices.\nConstellation has a TTM FCF of$2.0 billion, good for an FCF yield of 4.9%. When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.\nStocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home & Security (FBHS)Source: Shutterstock\nFortune Brands Home & Security wasspun offfromFortune Brands Inc, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.\nAt the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands asBeam Inc., the holding company’s spirits business. Beam was subsequently sold toSuntory Holdingsin 2014 for $16 billion, including the assumption of debt.\nFortune shareholders got one share of FBHS for each share in the parent. FBHS stock has generated a total return of 22.4% over the past decade, 548 basis points higher than the entire U.S. market.\nThe company hasthree operating segments: Plumbing, Outdoors & Security, and Cabinets. Its brands include Moen faucets, Larson doors, Master Lock locks, MasterBrand cabinets, and many more.\nTogether, they have TTM sales of $7.02 billion, $1.03 billion in operating income, $650 million in FCF, and an FCF yield of 5.0%.\nIt’s a great business to own for the long haul.\nNewell Brands (NWL)Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com\nNewell CEO Ravi Saligram was recently named one ofAtlanta’s best CEOsby theAtlanta Business Chronicle.Saligram joined Newell as CEO inOctober 2019. Before that, he was CEO ofRitchie Bros. Auctioneers(NYSE:RBA) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.\nHe’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for theS&P 500 indexover the same period.\nOver the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.\n“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO. It used the proceeds to pay down some debt owed to the parent and buy shares of the operating company, BellRing Brands LLC.\nAfter the IPO, Post owned 71% of BRBR stock. In August 2021, Post announced thatit plans to distributemost of this stake to shareholders. The move’s expected to include a special cash dividend for Post shareholders.\nAt the same time, it announced the distribution; it also announced Q3 2021 results. Sales in the quarter jumped 68% over last year to $342.6 million, while its operating profit increased by 68% to $51.5 million.\nBellRing’s TTM FCF is$214.3 million. Based on a market cap of $1.3 billion, it has an FCF yield of 16.5%, well into value territory.\nIf I’m a Post shareholder, I’d be hanging on to my BellRing shares for the long haul.\nOn the date of publication, Will Ashworthdid not have (either directly or indirectly) any positions in the securities mentioned in this article.The opinions expressed in this article are those of the writer, subject to theInvestorPlace.comPublishing Guidelines.\nWill Ashworth has written about investments full-time since 2008.

Investors just need a chance to adjust to the changing landscape.“There’s a good chance you, your families and friends will be able to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout …and celebrate Independence Day,” Biden said. That is great news.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":296,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0}],"hots":[{"id":866202970,"gmtCreate":1632782625990,"gmtModify":1632797943504,"author":{"id":"3575032020160515","authorId":"3575032020160515","name":"Mabes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4db6ec4bddf6a757226d79a42d9ee939","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Likey&nbsp;","listText":"Likey&nbsp;","text":"Likey","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":10,"commentSize":1,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/866202970","repostId":"2170624172","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2170624172","weMediaInfo":{"introduction":"Reuters.com brings you the latest news from around the world, covering breaking news in markets, business, politics, entertainment and technology","home_visible":1,"media_name":"Reuters","id":"1036604489","head_image":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/443ce19704621c837795676028cec868"},"pubTimestamp":1632772840,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/2170624172?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-09-28 04:00","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tech pulls Nasdaq to lower close as Treasury yields rise","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=2170624172","media":"Reuters","summary":"NEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended mixed on Monday as investors began the last week of ","content":"<p>NEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Wall Street ended mixed on Monday as investors began the last week of September and the quarter with a pivot to value as tech shares, hurt by rising Treasury yields, weighed on the Nasdaq Composite index .</p>\n<p>The S&amp;P 500 index joined the Nasdaq in negative territory, but the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average ended higher.</p>\n<p>Economically sensitive smallcaps and transports&nbsp;outperformed the broader market.</p>\n<p>\"The economic reopening trade is alive and well,\" said Chuck Carlson, chief executive of Horizon Investment Services in Hammond, Indiana. \"Economically sensitive stocks are up, and tech’s being worked over pretty good.\"</p>\n<p>Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields rose, to the benefit of rate-sensitive financials.

While the rise and fall of Reebok is a fascinating story, the article got me thinking about stocks to buy for the “Brands” portfolio.</p>\n<p>After all, Authentic Brands itself hasfiled to go public. My fellow<i>InvestorPlace</i>contributor Dana Blankenhorn calls it the most fascinating IPO of the year.</p>\n<p>“Authentic’s S-1has more pictures than<b>Pinterest</b>(NYSE:<b><u>PINS</u></b>), but tells little about the business. The numbers are for 2020, before a host of recent deals. It only identifies direct licensing revenue, $488 million of it in that year. But $211 million of that money, 43%, wound up as net income. This is said to justify a $10 billion enterprise valuation,” Dana wrote on Sep. 20.</p>\n<p>I agree with my colleague. It’s definitely up there. Heck, by the time I’ve written this, the company’s stock might be eligible for my newest portfolio.</p>\n<p>But, for now,<i>Finviz.com</i>tells me there are34 public companieswith the word “Brands” as part of their corporate name. So, I’ll recommend the seven best stocks to buy from the bunch.</p>\n<ul>\n <li><b>Restaurant Brands International</b>(NYSE:<b><u>QSR)</u></b></li>\n <li><b>Constellation Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>STZ)</u></b></li>\n <li><b>Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security</b>(NYSE:<b><u>FBHS</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Newell Brands</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>NWL</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Acuity Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>AYI</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>Cornerstone Building Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>CNR</u></b>)</li>\n <li><b>BellRing Brands</b>(NYSE:<b><u>BRBR</u></b>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Restaurant Brands International (QSR)</p>\n<p>I begrudgingly put Restaurant Brands International, the owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeye’s, on my list of stocks to buy.</p>\n<p>Burger King acquired Tim Hortons in 2014 to form RBI. Ever since, I’ve had a hard time accepting the merger, given Burger King’s CEO made each Tim Horton’s head office employee justify their jobs in15-minute interviews.</p>\n<p>To date, I’d say I was right to be concerned about the poor treatment of employees. Over the past five years through Sept. 22, QSR stock has a total return of 9.0%, less than the Canadian market on the whole and nearly half the return of the entire U.S. market.</p>\n<p>In August, Tim Hortons China, a joint-venture between RBI and Hong Kong private equity firm<b>Cartesian Capital</b>, agreed to merge with<b>Silver Crest Acquisition Corp.</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>SLCR</u></b>) in a transaction that valued the Chinese segment of Tim Hortons at$1.7 billion.</p>\n<p>As long as<b>3G Capital</b>continues to own almost 30% of RBI stock, I’ll remain cautious in my praise.</p>\n<p>However, with$1.35 billionin trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF) and a 7.0% FCF yield, now could be an opportune time to pick up some shares.</p>\n<p>Constellation Brands (STZ)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/51af367100d1d75a5ca277a1a9675c31\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: ShinoStock / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>A telltale sign Constellation Brands has become a big deal in corporate America is therecent announcementthat it would move 400 of its employees from its offices in Canandaigua, New York, to downtown Rochester.</p>\n<p>“The company investment is estimated at $50 million, while Landers [Peter Landers, majority investor in group that owns the downtown property] says the owners/developers’ will spend close to $35 million on historic restoration, stripping paint from the barrel ceilings and brick walls, and building a 120-space parking structure,” The<i>Democrat &amp; Chronicle</i>reported.</p>\n<p>While Constellation is known for Corona and Modelo beer, Svedka vodka, and Woodbridge wine, amongst others, it isthe company’s investmentin<b>Canopy Growth</b>(NASDAQ:<b><u>CGC</u></b>) that gets most of the attention.</p>\n<p>That’s because it’s taking forever to see the benefits of its multi-billion-dollar investment in the Canadian cannabis company. Since it acquired9.9% in October 2017, STZ stock has gone sideways over nearly 48 months.</p>\n<p>As a glass-half-full kind of person, I see the potential upside of its Canopy investment as a big reason to buy at current prices.</p>\n<p>Constellation has a TTM FCF of$2.0 billion, good for an FCF yield of 4.9%. When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security (FBHS)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/c43d12689a9a34fc77425af4b7ac66d2\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"165\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Shutterstock</p>\n<p>Fortune Brands Home &amp; Security wasspun offfrom<b>Fortune Brands Inc</b>, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.</p>\n<p>At the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands as<b>Beam Inc.</b>, the holding company’s spirits business. Beam was subsequently sold to<b>Suntory Holdings</b>in 2014 for $16 billion, including the assumption of debt.</p>\n<p>Fortune shareholders got one share of FBHS for each share in the parent. FBHS stock has generated a total return of 22.4% over the past decade, 548 basis points higher than the entire U.S. market.</p>\n<p>The company hasthree operating segments: Plumbing, Outdoors &amp; Security, and Cabinets. Its brands include Moen faucets, Larson doors, Master Lock locks, MasterBrand cabinets, and many more.</p>\n<p>Together, they have TTM sales of $7.02 billion, $1.03 billion in operating income, $650 million in FCF, and an FCF yield of 5.0%.</p>\n<p>It’s a great business to own for the long haul.</p>\n<p>Newell Brands (NWL)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/b002bc9b30d4f4cc62b40222b912a1b0\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>Newell CEO Ravi Saligram was recently named one ofAtlanta’s best CEOsby the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i>Saligram joined Newell as CEO inOctober 2019. Before that, he was CEO of<b>Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers</b>(NYSE:<b><u>RBA</u></b>) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.</p>\n<p>He’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for the<b>S&amp;P 500 index</b>over the same period.</p>\n<p>Over the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.</p>\n<p>“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told the<i>Atlanta Business Chronicle.</i></p>\n<p>“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”</p>\n<p>In 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.</p>\n<p>The performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.</p>\n<p>Stocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)<img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/d0fc99bca07cdb144fe2c7208776aed8\" tg-width=\"300\" tg-height=\"169\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\">Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com</p>\n<p>It’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.</p>\n<p>For example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.</p>\n<p>While the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge of<b>Walmart’s</b>(NYSE:<b><u>WMT</u></b>) eCommerce &amp; Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.</p>\n<p>Ashe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.</p>\n<p>In the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.</p>\n<p>InJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that.

While the rise and fall of Reebok is a fascinating story, the article got me thinking about stocks to buy for the “Brands” portfolio.\nAfter all, Authentic Brands itself hasfiled to go public. My fellowInvestorPlacecontributor Dana Blankenhorn calls it the most fascinating IPO of the year.\n“Authentic’s S-1has more pictures thanPinterest(NYSE:PINS), but tells little about the business. The numbers are for 2020, before a host of recent deals. It only identifies direct licensing revenue, $488 million of it in that year. But $211 million of that money, 43%, wound up as net income. This is said to justify a $10 billion enterprise valuation,” Dana wrote on Sep. 20.\nI agree with my colleague. It’s definitely up there. Heck, by the time I’ve written this, the company’s stock might be eligible for my newest portfolio.\nBut, for now,Finviz.comtells me there are34 public companieswith the word “Brands” as part of their corporate name. So, I’ll recommend the seven best stocks to buy from the bunch.\n\nRestaurant Brands International(NYSE:QSR)\nConstellation Brands(NYSE:STZ)\nFortune Brands Home & Security(NYSE:FBHS)\nNewell Brands(NASDAQ:NWL)\nAcuity Brands(NYSE:AYI)\nCornerstone Building Brands(NYSE:CNR)\nBellRing Brands(NYSE:BRBR)\n\nStocks to Buy: Restaurant Brands International (QSR)\nI begrudgingly put Restaurant Brands International, the owner of Tim Hortons, Burger King and Popeye’s, on my list of stocks to buy.\nBurger King acquired Tim Hortons in 2014 to form RBI. Ever since, I’ve had a hard time accepting the merger, given Burger King’s CEO made each Tim Horton’s head office employee justify their jobs in15-minute interviews.\nTo date, I’d say I was right to be concerned about the poor treatment of employees. Over the past five years through Sept. 22, QSR stock has a total return of 9.0%, less than the Canadian market on the whole and nearly half the return of the entire U.S. market.\nIn August, Tim Hortons China, a joint-venture between RBI and Hong Kong private equity firmCartesian Capital, agreed to merge withSilver Crest Acquisition Corp.(NASDAQ:SLCR) in a transaction that valued the Chinese segment of Tim Hortons at$1.7 billion.\nAs long as3G Capitalcontinues to own almost 30% of RBI stock, I’ll remain cautious in my praise.\nHowever, with$1.35 billionin trailing 12-month (TTM) free cash flow (FCF) and a 7.0% FCF yield, now could be an opportune time to pick up some shares.\nConstellation Brands (STZ)Source: ShinoStock / Shutterstock.com\nA telltale sign Constellation Brands has become a big deal in corporate America is therecent announcementthat it would move 400 of its employees from its offices in Canandaigua, New York, to downtown Rochester.\n“The company investment is estimated at $50 million, while Landers [Peter Landers, majority investor in group that owns the downtown property] says the owners/developers’ will spend close to $35 million on historic restoration, stripping paint from the barrel ceilings and brick walls, and building a 120-space parking structure,” TheDemocrat & Chroniclereported.\nWhile Constellation is known for Corona and Modelo beer, Svedka vodka, and Woodbridge wine, amongst others, it isthe company’s investmentinCanopy Growth(NASDAQ:CGC) that gets most of the attention.\nThat’s because it’s taking forever to see the benefits of its multi-billion-dollar investment in the Canadian cannabis company. Since it acquired9.9% in October 2017, STZ stock has gone sideways over nearly 48 months.\nAs a glass-half-full kind of person, I see the potential upside of its Canopy investment as a big reason to buy at current prices.\nConstellation has a TTM FCF of$2.0 billion, good for an FCF yield of 4.9%. When you consider the value yet to be extracted by its investment, STZ’s valuation is more than reasonable.\nStocks to Buy: Fortune Brands Home & Security (FBHS)Source: Shutterstock\nFortune Brands Home & Security wasspun offfromFortune Brands Inc, part of the then-holding company’s plan to deliver additional value for its shareholders almost a decade ago.\nAt the same time, it sold its Acushnet business for $1.225 billion and renamed Fortune Brands asBeam Inc., the holding company’s spirits business. Beam was subsequently sold toSuntory Holdingsin 2014 for $16 billion, including the assumption of debt.\nFortune shareholders got one share of FBHS for each share in the parent. FBHS stock has generated a total return of 22.4% over the past decade, 548 basis points higher than the entire U.S. market.\nThe company hasthree operating segments: Plumbing, Outdoors & Security, and Cabinets. Its brands include Moen faucets, Larson doors, Master Lock locks, MasterBrand cabinets, and many more.\nTogether, they have TTM sales of $7.02 billion, $1.03 billion in operating income, $650 million in FCF, and an FCF yield of 5.0%.\nIt’s a great business to own for the long haul.\nNewell Brands (NWL)Source: Casimiro PT / Shutterstock.com\nNewell CEO Ravi Saligram was recently named one ofAtlanta’s best CEOsby theAtlanta Business Chronicle.Saligram joined Newell as CEO inOctober 2019. Before that, he was CEO ofRitchie Bros. Auctioneers(NYSE:RBA) from July 2014 to July 2019 and OfficeMax from November 2010 to November 2013. In addition, he oversaw the merger between OfficeMax and Office Depot.\nHe’s been an executive for many years working in several different industries. Since joining Newell, NWL stock has gained 32% over nearly 24 months. That compares to 50% for theS&P 500 indexover the same period.\nOver the years, Newell Brands became quite bloated, with too many businesses generating too few profits. Newell might have underperformed so far in Saligram’s tenure, but he’s doing his best to set the company up for sustainable growth.\n“Along our journey, we will add capabilities to build competitive advantage. For example, we are building on our eCommerce capabilities and Digital First mindset (over 21% of our global sales are sold online) to become truly omni channel,” Saligram told theAtlanta Business Chronicle.\n“We are creating consistent and compelling brand experiences for consumers no matter where they shop, how they shop or when they shop be it buy online, deliver to home, buy online pick up at the store, buy online pick up at curbside or shop at a store.”\nIn 2019, Newell had an FCF of$780 million. In the TTM, it was $1.1 billion, a 41% increase. I would expect this FCF growth to continue.\nThe performance in the next 24 months ought to be much better than the last 24.\nStocks to Buy: Acuity Brands (AYI)Source: JHVEPhoto / Shutterstock.com\nIt’s great to see the provider of commercial and residential lighting solutions doing well in the markets after a long stretch of less-than-stellar Acuity Brands shareholder returns.\nFor example, if you invested $10,000 in AYI stock in September 2020, today, you would have approximately $17,294. However, if you invested the same $10,000 in its stock three years ago, you’d have $10,609.\nWhile the company got lost in the woods for a time, it’s been able to find its way back, thanks in part to its hiring of CEO Neil Ashe inJanuary 2020. Ashe has held some high-powered jobs, including being in charge ofWalmart’s(NYSE:WMT) eCommerce & Technology unit from 2012 through 2016.\nAshe replaced Vernon Nagel, who served as Acuity’s CEO for 16 years. Nagel moved into theexecutive chairman role. They ought to make an excellent pairing.\nIn the company’s Q3 2021 results, Acuity had a 16% increase in sales to$899.7 million, with a 56% increase in earnings to $2.37 a share. In 2021, it expects growth to continue.\nInJanuary 2019, I suggested that Acuity needed a new CEO who could bring a fresh perspective. Less than a year later, it did just that. Kudos to Nagel for recognizing it was time to move aside.\nCornerstone Building Brands (CNR)Source: ©iStock.com/Sashick\nOf all the names on this list, Cornerstone Building Brands is the only one I didn’t recognize.\nThe North Carolina-based provider of commercial, residential, and repair & remodel building products is the largest manufacturer of exterior building products in North America.\nAlthough the Cornerstone name only came into existence inNovember 2018after the merger between NCI Building Systems and Ply Gem Parent LLC, the two companies have a history of more than 75 years.\nSince the merger’s completion, CNR stock has experienced its fair share of highs and lows, falling to less than $3 in the March 2020 correction, then recovering to almost $20 in June before settling back into the mid-teens in late September.\nA prominent owner of Cornerstone stock isBlueTower Asset Management, a Texas-based portfolio manager. The company’s Global Value Strategy owns17 stocks, CNR being the largest weighting at 18.6% of the portfolio.\nHere’s what BlueTower had to say about Cornerstone in itsQ2 2021 shareholder letter:\n“As the company realizes acquisition synergies, the housing boom continues, and Cornerstone pays down debt, the company’s value will become apparent to investors and share price will rise to meet its true fundamental value,” BlueTower portfolio manager Andrew Oskoui wrote.\n“Investors who were previously repelled by the high debt levels will invest at lower leverage levels. The share price has already tripled from the average price our long-term investors in the strategy composite paid, but we still believe the company has a high expected forward rate of return.”\nWhat’s not to like?\nStocks to Buy: BellRing Brands (BRBR)Source: rblfmr / Shutterstock.com\nIf you’ve ever eaten a PowerBar, you’ve heard of and supported BellRing Brands.\nIn October 2019,Post Holdings(NYSE:POST) spun off its former active nutrition business — PowerBar, Premier Protein, and Dymatize brands — selling 39.43 million shares at $14 per share. It raised approximately$516.4 millionfrom the IPO.

Its operations are also relatively stable because of its focus on consumer staples like food and condiments. Though it's a slow-growth business, Kraft Heinz is a solid investment because of its massive scale and industry-leading brands.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://static.tigerbbs.com/1e5291fa3697388400c394d36f53b84c\" tg-width=\"700\" tg-height=\"466\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\"></p>\n<p>Warren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.</p>\n<p>Kraft Heinz was formed in 2015 through a merger between Kraft Foods and Heinz, which gave it a broad catalog of well-known, segment-leading brands like Heinz Ketchup, Kraft cheese, and Jell-O.&nbsp;Buffett got involved with Heinz in 2013 and helped orchestrate the merger with Kraft. </p>\n<p>Unfortunately for Buffett, the company has faced headwinds from irregular accounting and competition from newer healthier brands -- which led to a staggering $15.4 billion write-down on the value of some of its assets in 2019. Buffett admitted in an annual shareholder meeting that he had made a mistake with the Kraft portion of Kraft Heinz. </p>\n<p>Nevertheless, Berkshire still owns the stock. Moreover, with the stock price down by around 63% from its 2017 all time high of $97 per share, much of the downside looks priced in -- especially considering the company's many advantages.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Brand dominance gives Kraft Heinz an economic moat -- the ability to maintain a competitive advantage over rivals. Potential upstarts are unlikely to have the resources to unseat Heinz from the No. 1 spot in the ketchup segment, for example. As such, the company's revenue streams look relatively safe. </p>\n<p>And according to CEO Miguel Patricio, Kraft Heinz expects to come out of the pandemic \"much stronger\" than it entered by leveraging its massive scale to tackle challenges like inflation. With the Federal Reserve expecting annual inflation to hit 4.2% by the year's end, Kraft Heinz's economies of scale advantage could help it produce items more cheaply than rivals.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Second-quarter sales fell 0.5% year over year to $6.62 billion, beating expectations by roughly $70 million.&nbsp;The company also boasts a dividend yield of 4.4%.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>The case for Verizon</h2>\n<p>If you thought Kraft Heinz was cheap, Verizon's valuation will blow your mind. Trading for just 10 times forward earnings, the telecommunications giant is a rare bargain. The company is poised to benefit from its significant moat in the telecommunications industry, and with a dividend payout ratio of 52% should have no trouble sustaining its large distributions to shareholders.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>Berkshire Hathaway purchased $8.6 billion worth of Verizon stock in the fourth quarter of 2020. He probably likes the company because its sheer scale (Verizon's 4G LTE reaches 98% of the U.S. population) keeps it competitive in a market with just two other significant players, ensuring relatively reliable revenue -- so long as people continue using cellphones and other network-reliant devices.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>In the second quarter, Verizon's revenue increased by 11% to $33.8 billion, due in part to an easier-than-usual comparison to 2020. According to CEO Hans Vestberg, Verizon's network and in-store traffic are almost back to pre-pandemic volumes. And the rollout of 5G-enabled devices will also be an exciting tailwind for Verizon as it continues to deploy its 5G network.

Kraft Heinz (NASDAQ:KHC) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) are among those in his conglomerate's holdings, and both could boost your portfolio from here. \nThe case for Kraft Heinz\nTrading at a forward price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of just 14, Kraft Heinz is a quintessential Buffett value stock. Its operations are also relatively stable because of its focus on consumer staples like food and condiments. Though it's a slow-growth business, Kraft Heinz is a solid investment because of its massive scale and industry-leading brands. \n\nWarren Buffett. Image source: The Motley Fool.\nKraft Heinz was formed in 2015 through a merger between Kraft Foods and Heinz, which gave it a broad catalog of well-known, segment-leading brands like Heinz Ketchup, Kraft cheese, and Jell-O. Buffett got involved with Heinz in 2013 and helped orchestrate the merger with Kraft. \nUnfortunately for Buffett, the company has faced headwinds from irregular accounting and competition from newer healthier brands -- which led to a staggering $15.4 billion write-down on the value of some of its assets in 2019. Buffett admitted in an annual shareholder meeting that he had made a mistake with the Kraft portion of Kraft Heinz. \nNevertheless, Berkshire still owns the stock. Moreover, with the stock price down by around 63% from its 2017 all time high of $97 per share, much of the downside looks priced in -- especially considering the company's many advantages. \nBrand dominance gives Kraft Heinz an economic moat -- the ability to maintain a competitive advantage over rivals. Potential upstarts are unlikely to have the resources to unseat Heinz from the No. 1 spot in the ketchup segment, for example. As such, the company's revenue streams look relatively safe. \nAnd according to CEO Miguel Patricio, Kraft Heinz expects to come out of the pandemic \"much stronger\" than it entered by leveraging its massive scale to tackle challenges like inflation. With the Federal Reserve expecting annual inflation to hit 4.2% by the year's end, Kraft Heinz's economies of scale advantage could help it produce items more cheaply than rivals. \nSecond-quarter sales fell 0.5% year over year to $6.62 billion, beating expectations by roughly $70 million. The company also boasts a dividend yield of 4.4%. \nThe case for Verizon\nIf you thought Kraft Heinz was cheap, Verizon's valuation will blow your mind. Trading for just 10 times forward earnings, the telecommunications giant is a rare bargain. The company is poised to benefit from its significant moat in the telecommunications industry, and with a dividend payout ratio of 52% should have no trouble sustaining its large distributions to shareholders. \nBerkshire Hathaway purchased $8.6 billion worth of Verizon stock in the fourth quarter of 2020. He probably likes the company because its sheer scale (Verizon's 4G LTE reaches 98% of the U.S. population) keeps it competitive in a market with just two other significant players, ensuring relatively reliable revenue -- so long as people continue using cellphones and other network-reliant devices. \nIn the second quarter, Verizon's revenue increased by 11% to $33.8 billion, due in part to an easier-than-usual comparison to 2020. According to CEO Hans Vestberg, Verizon's network and in-store traffic are almost back to pre-pandemic volumes. And the rollout of 5G-enabled devices will also be an exciting tailwind for Verizon as it continues to deploy its 5G network. The higher bandwidth and capacity technology could allow Verizon to charge more for plans and expand the use cases for Internet of Things applications. \nVerizon's dividend makes it a great pick for income investors. At current share prices, it yields 4.7%, and has increased its payout for eight consecutive years. \nBetting on value\nWith the S&P 500 trading at an average P/E ratio of 35, Kraft Heinz and Verizon's valuations of 14 and 10 times forward EPS make them rare bargains in a pricey market. Both companies are mature and relatively slow-growing, but their healthy dividends and defensive business models could add stability and income to your portfolio.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":287,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"CN","totalScore":0},{"id":326317570,"gmtCreate":1615594691390,"gmtModify":1703491350379,"author":{"id":"3575032020160515","authorId":"3575032020160515","name":"Mabes","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/4db6ec4bddf6a757226d79a42d9ee939","crmLevel":1,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false},"themes":[],"htmlText":"[无语]&nbsp;","listText":"[无语]&nbsp;","text":"[无语]","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/326317570","repostId":"1100128328","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1100128328","pubTimestamp":1615563404,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1100128328?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-03-12 23:36","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Stock Is Down.
