Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) dividend analysis


From above analysis,

1) Solid financial health.  JNJ is a solid company and most of us should be concur on this point.

2) Market price valuation is at $63.16.

3) Payout ratio is very high, at 63%, which is out of my criteria range of less than 50%.

4) Yield is high, at 3.6%.

5) Dividend growth is optimal.  5-year dividend growth at 9.11%, 10-year dividend growth at 12.39%.


In the past 32 years , JNJ maintained a good history record of increasing dividend every year versus previous year.


With 10-years annual dividend growth rate at 12.39%, we can achieve 9.95% yield on cost even without considering dividend reinvestment.  If we wait till the market price pulls back a little to $63, we can achieve 10.59% within 10 years.  If considering dividend re-investment, the percentage will be much higher.

Disclosure: Long JNJ.
