Don’t hold here yet as busy elsewhere but it’s on my buy list - again!
Totally agree with your view stock. I have been selling my smallcaps now for easier pickings. Most have bagged but tech, Pharma and miners have since struggled generally. Quality/individual exceptions aside. On the higher mcap I think one has to run a divi cover and growth prospects alongside the macro. For insurers, they are a halfway to banks pending any hawkishness and tapering....
My filters pick up....
PHNX - for yield, divi, tier 1 cover , TA recovery. SP hit following asset sale miss. Really not an issue!
MNG - market hasn’t priced as relatively newly listed but high yield covered + transformation underway and intent on value return.
Av. - Divi well covered following covid cash skip, asset sales and shareholder returns.
DLG - divi well covered, share buyback, Director buys. Transformation underway. Peeps not driving travelling as much.
GLO - a little gem! 6.8% yield atm quarterly and in USD! Energy sector but price lifts not included yet. Even though 1.2bn mcap hardly covered. Assets are outside UK so shouldn’t be hit by any windfall tax. Energy mix, solar, wind, gas etc. Signed up to 10% yoy divi increase.
For me borderline is LGEN as lots in the price but I would buy...
None of the above are for capital gain I just treat as income.
For banks yes agree especially if interest rates rise but I haven’t any because insurers are less cyclical. Banks gain on one hand then loose on another even in recovery.
Copper...
PXC - Copper, I agree on macro and for me the best investment is PXC. US based, funded explorer with several mines about to come on stream next year. Have other metals as well. Some great drilling results, about to list ADR’s. Following funding management intent on self funding going forward. I have tipped others into here now. High conviction play. I only want this for the capital gain for now.
Energy...
Well BP for a safe play and quarterly divi. On a small cap basis LBE, IOG, DELT & KIST are perhaps pick of the bunch for geo and risk reward potential. I held all at some point and still rate as buy but for turbo charged potential with still a responsible balance I back TXP which is my biggest single investment and then SAVE, now suspended pending RTO.
All will benefit hugely from energy price increases...
Then there is coal. Overlooked? Check out the TGA chart. I am looking forward to a huge divi there well covered based on 30% fcf! That’s like a 30-50% divi based on my entry price and it keeps rising + shares are 200% up!
For funds/trusts etc I am not interested. Rather make my own decisions.
To hedge inflation gold. My top pick is ECR in the small cap space. It has own drills, land etc Then for a producer, PUR. That’s catching the bottom. Sp bombed out! But the work is done now and it will imo gradually rise back up.
Interest rates/tapering etc not this year can will be kicked again recovery stil
