As Dan Lefkovitz, Content Strategist with Morningstar &l;a href=&q;https://corporate.morningstar.com/US/documents/Indexes/DIVGROWTH_2017.pdf&q; target=&q;_blank&q;&g;explains&l;/a&g;,

&l;/p&g;&l;blockquote&g;&a;ldquo;To commit to a dividend payment, corporate management must be confident of future cash flows. Once a dividend commitment is made, it&a;rsquo;s not withdrawn lightly. The market usually punishes dividend cuts or eliminations severely because they indicate financial distress. Thus dividend-paying companies tend to be competitively well-positioned, cash-generating businesses.&a;rdquo;&l;/blockquote&g;

Best Financial Stocks To Watch For 2019: Nexstar Broadcasting Group Inc.(NXST)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Stephan Byrd]

    Nexstar Media Group (NASDAQ:NXST) had its price target cut by B. Riley to $87.00. They currently have a buy rating on the stock.


    Ralph Lauren (NYSE:RL) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a buy rating to a hold rating. According to Zacks, “Ralph Lauren outperformed the industry in the past six months backed by robust bottom-line performance in recent quarters. Notably, third-quarter fiscal 2018 marked the company’s 12th consecutive earnings beat while sales lagged estimates after a beat in the previous quarter. Additionally, the company’s Way Forward Plan is on track, and it remains keen on bolstering digital and international presence. Also, the company has been gaining from favorable geographic and channel mix shifts along with lower promotions and reduced product costs. Further, management adjusted fiscal 2018 outlook to account for the positive currency rates, which are likely to aid revenues and operating margins. However, its North America business continues to suffer due to distribution and brand exits, planned reduction in shipments and promotions to enhance the quality of sales, and lower customer demand.”
