International Business Machines (IBM): Next Portfolio Stock Purchase

On last Friday I needed to make a choice between IBM and Teva Pharmaceuticals. I decided to pick the technology stock despite the fact the IBM has a higher valuation in terms of price to earnings and debt to equity ratio.

The current valuation of IBM is 14.23 and the forward P/E is at 11.25. Also the dividend yield is the lowest below all portfolio holdings. It’s at 1.84 percent. Why buying IBM?

Compared to other high quality dividend growth stocks, IBM is still cheap like most other technology companies with a higher capitalization. IBM is the biggest basic pick within the sector and every long-term dividend growth investor need some shares of the company. As of now, I had no shares of the company and needed to pull the trigger for the first position.

The second reason to take a stake of IBM is the low cyclic and higher degree of safeness. With a $200+ billion company, you have much more possibilities to grow and the self finance ratio is also much higher. IBM makes huge share buybacks while TEVA needs to increase its capital basis. As you might see below, the dividend potenital compared to earnings per share is for IBM unbelievable high.
