Buybacks and dividends are great ways to unlock
shareholder values. The past has shown that both strategies work well for
long-term orientated investors but you need to watch careful the market
valuation.
I'm looking for companies trading at a 30%-40% discount to intrinsic value, based on the potential optimization of the balance
sheet. Incentive structures based on return on capital, total shareholder
return and economic value added are more important than factors based on
top-line growth.
Attached are 5 big names with solid dividends that
offer a great risk premium right now.
