DividendRank Energy Toplists

At sister site Dividend Channel, we screen through our coverage universe of dividend paying stocks each week, and we look at a variety of data — dividend yield, book value, quarterly earnings — and compare it to the stock’s trading data to come up with certain calculations about profitability and about the stock’s valuation (whether we think it looks ”cheap” or ”expensive”).

History has shown that the bulk of the stock market’s returns are delivered by dividends, and so we pay special attention to dividend history. And of course, only consistently profitable companies can afford to keep paying dividends, so profitability is of critical importance. Dividend investors should be most interested in researching the strongest most profitable companies, that also happen to be trading at an attractive valuation — maybe there is a company-specific reason causing the stock to be ”cheap” or maybe the entire sector is taking a hit, but whatever the reason, we think there is great value in ranking the Energy Stock Channel coverage universe weekly using our proprietary DividendRank formula, and sharing the list of the week’s top ranked energy stocks with our subscribers.

These are the energy stocks our DividendRank system has identified as the top most ”interesting” in the Energy, and Utilities categories … this is meant purely as a research tool to generate ideas that merit further research.

SPONSORED AREAOil and Gas Income Portfolio

The Oil & Gas Income Portfolio is an all-energy portfolio focusing on oil & gas and related companies, with an emphasis on dividends. It is expected that the portfolio will have a dividend yield equal to 200% of the S&P 500 and a market beta of 1.5x that of the S&P 500. The Oil & Gas Income Portfolio will utilize a mix of upstream (production), midstream (transportation) and downstream (refining) dividend-paying stocks to achieve a conservative portfolio suitable for most income-oriented investors. This portfolio will hold global energy companies, but will have a focus on those operating primarily in North America (including Marcellus Shale, Barnett Shale and the Bakken Oil Formation).

This Week’s Top 20 ETFs
Ranked By Weighted Average Broker Rating of Underlying ComponentsEach week, ETF Channel forms this rank by first looking at the analyst opinions from the major brokerage houses (which are tallied and averaged) for each individual component of each ETF. Then, for each ETF, those average broker ratings are considered as a weighted average according to the weighting of each of the ETF’s components — this gives the average broker rating for the entire ETF based upon its holdings. The ETF coverage universe is then ranked to give us the weekly top five ETFs by weighted average broker rating of underlying components. These rankings are meant as a tool for investors to generate ideas for further research.

SPONSORED AREAWhy are Warren Buffett and Bill Gates dumping these stocks?

Buffett just ditched millions of shares in familiar giants like Procter and Gamble. Bill Gates just dumped 90 million shares of Microsoft. Why? They’re scared. Obama’s economic policies scare them. Don’t listen to what they say. Watch what they do. Gates just invested $571 million in this special ‘back-to-basics’ company. Buffett followed suit to the tune of $300 million. What do they know that you don’t? Don’t let Buffett and Bill make all the money. There’s still time. Buy this stock in America’s oldest and safest industry, hold on to it and let it make you richer for decades. It’s what our favorite billionaires are planning.

Dividend investors should be most interested in researching the strongest most profitable companies, that also happen to be trading at an attractive valuation — maybe there is a company-specific reason causing the stock to be ”cheap” or maybe the entire sector is taking a hit, but whatever the reason, we think there is great value in ranking our coverage universe weekly using our proprietary DividendRank formula, and sharing those lists with our subscribers, neatly divided into 17 sectors/categories.

These are the stocks our DividendRank system has identified as the top most ”interesting” … this is meant purely as a research tool to generate ideas that merit further research.

New Breakout Underway? – 06/28/2013

The 50 day moving average stands at 1619. Stocks flickered above momentarily Thursday, but in the end couldn’t handle the heat. This makes six straight sessions below the bar.

Note that on a fundamental basis stocks should be well above given recent economic strength. Also consider this equation:

Less QE = higher bond rates = bond fund losses = stocks more attractive.

Unfortunately far too many investors got this equation wrong the past few weeks. Now they are starting to react properly to the improving economic picture including today’s positive Personal Income & Outlays report which maps over to another quarter of solid GDP activity.

The odds are increasing that we will get back above the 50 day soon. Perhaps not on this first effort, but by t he 2nd or 3rd attempt. So look for a day in the near future with prices falling back towards 1600 and then buy in for the likely resumption of the long term bull rally.

Best,

Steve Reitmeister (aka Reity…pronounced “Righty”)

CURRENCIES

The September Dollar closed lower due to profit taking on Thursday as it consolidates some of the rally off June’s low. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Thursday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If September extends the rally off June’s low, the 75% retracement level of the May-June decline crossing at 83.78 is the next upside target. Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing at 82.05 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is today’s high crossing at 83.43. Second resistance is the 75% retracement level of the May-June decline crossing at 83.78. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 82.11. Second support is the 10-day moving averag e crossing at 82.05.

The September Euro closed higher due to short covering on Thursday as it consolidates some of the decline off June’s high. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Friday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If September extends the aforementioned decline, June’s low crossing at 129.63 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 132.01 are needed to confirm that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at 132.01. Second resistance is June’s high crossing at 134.24. First support is Wednesday’s low crossing at 129.88. Second support is June’s low crossing at 129.63.

The September British Pound closed lower on Thursday as it extended the decline off June’s high. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower openi ng when Friday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If September extends the decline off June’s high, May’s low crossing at 1.4999 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at 1.5483 would confirm that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at 1.5483. Second resistance is June’s high crossing at 1.5743. First support is today’s low crossing at 1.5193. Second support is May’s low crossing at 1.4999.

The September Swiss Franc closed lower on Thursday as it extended the decline off June’s high. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Friday’s night session begins trading. Stochastics and the RSI are bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If September extends the decline off June’s high, the 62% retracement level of the May-June rally cross ing at .10484 is the next downside target. Closes above the 10-day moving average crossing at .10742 would temper the near-term bearish outlook. First resistance is the 10-day moving average crossing at .10742. Second resistance is June’s high crossing at .10962. First support is the 50% retracement level of the May-June rally crossing at .10576. Second support is the 62% retracement level of the May-June rally crossing at .10484.

The September Canadian Dollar closed higher due to short covering on Thursday as it consolidates some of this year’s decline. The low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Friday’s night session begins trading.

Mark Carney will try to push for more easing by BOE

Quotes from Societe Generale Cross Asset Research:

-The persistent upside British economic data surprises over the past several weeks have made it unlikely that the BOE will institute “forward guidance” as we had previously expected.

-We believe that Governor Mark Carney will try to push for more easingby the BOE, but we do not think that he will succeed in persuading a majority of the MPC to go along with his plan.

No further easing measures out of either Norges Bank or BOE for the rest of the year

Quotes from Societe Generale Cross Asset Research:

-We expect no further easing measures out of either the Norges Bank or the BOE for the rest of the year. On the other hand, we expect the ECB to ease further, with a 25bp cut in the refi rate at the turn of the year. Apart from an actual rate cut, the ECB needs to provide more targeted liquidity to the Euro area periphery. Bank lending to the private sector in the periphery continues to fall. M3 money supply growth remains depressed relative to the ECB’s own reference target of 4.5%.

-The ECB’s need to maintain monetary accommodation will keep downward pressure on the euro. We go long equal-weighted NOK (50%) and GBP (50%) against EUR. While each leg of the trade could stand by itself, the combination of NOK and GBP into a basket trade introduces a diversification benefit to a medium-term trade. We sell EUR/GBP at spot rate of 0.8555, and sell EUR/NOK at 7.8900.

Le vendite di abitazioni esistenti a maggio sono cresciute del 6,7% rispetto al dato di aprile. Il dato è risultato nettamente superiore al consensus fissato su un incremento dell’1,0%. Rispetto a maggio 2012 le vendite di abitazioni esistenti sono aumentate del 12,1%.

La spesa per consumi personali di maggio e’ cresciuta dello 0,3% su base mensile, in linea con le stime degli addetti ai lavori ed in crescita rispetto alla rilevazione di aprile pari a -0,3% m/m. Il presidente della Fed di New York, William Dudely, ha detto che in caso di dati macroeconomici inferiori alle attese la Federal Reserve potrebbe prolungare gli acquisti di asset. Sul fronte societario Nike +0,76%. Deutsche Bank ha avviato la copertura sul titolo del gruppo di abbigliamento sportivo con rating buy. McCormick & Company -2%. Il gruppo alimentare ha chiuso il secondo trimestre con utili di 78,6 milioni di dollari (80,4 milioni un anno prima) su ricavi per 1 miliardo (984 milioni).

MERCATI ASIATICI

Il Nikkei trascina al rialzo le Borse asiatiche

Chiusura di ottava in denaro per il Nikkei che questa mattina ha terminato gli scambi a 13677,32 punti facendo registrare un rialzo del 3,51%. Brilla anche il Topix che si riporta a quota 1133,84 punti (+3,19%). L’indice si e’ dunque portato ad un passo dalla resistenza posta a quota 13700, pari al 38,2% di ritracciamento della correzione avviata a maggio, oltre la quale sarebbe possibile ipotizzare il termine della fase laterale disegnata nell’ultimo mese. L’eventuale superamento di area 14500 creerebbe poi i presupposti per il ritorno sui massimi di quest’anno a 16000 punti. La mancata rottura di 13700 seguita dal cedimento del supporto offerto in area 12600 dalla media mobile a 100 giorni metterebbe in seria discussione le prospettive di ripresa dell’indice. Se poi i prezzi dovessero scendere anche al di sotto dei bottom di aprile, a 11800 punti, diverrebbero probabili approfondimenti più estesi verso area 11400.

Sul versante macroeconomico, sono molti i dati che hanno contribuito a ripristinare la fiducia degli investitori: l’Indice PMI manifatturiero Nomura/JMMA e’ salito nel mese di giugno a quota 52,3 punti dai 51,5 punti della precedente rilevazione. Il Tasso di Disoccupazione e’ risultato a maggio pari a +4,1% in linea con la rilevazione precedente, ma lievemente al di sopra delle stime degli analisti fissate su un indice pari al 4,0%. E’ stato reso noto che la spesa delle famiglie ha evidenziato, nel mese di maggio, una flessione dell’1,6% su base annuale, mostrando segnali di rallentamento rispetto alla rilevazione precedente (+1,5%).

Il dato relativo ai Nuovi Cantieri edili residenziali e’ salito a maggio del 14,5% su base annuale, facendo registrare una crescita superiore alle attese degli analisti che avevano stimato un incremento del 6,2%. Gli ordinativi di nuove costruzioni sono cresciuti del 26,0% nello stesso periodo. Il Ministero degli Affari Interni e delle Comunicazioni giapponesi ha reso noto il dato relativo all’inflazione “core”, ovvero al netto dei cibi freschi. Nel mese di maggio tale rilevazione ha fatto segnare un calo dello 0,4% rispetto al mese precedente ed un incremento dello 0,2% su base annuale in linea con il consensus.

Il dato totale sull’inflazione nazionale e’ sceso dello 0,3% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2012, battendo le attese (pari a -0,4%) ed in miglioramento rispetto alla rilevazione precedente (-0,7%).

Il Ministero del’Economia, del Commercio e dell’Industria giapponese ha comunicato la lettura preliminare sulla Produzione Industriale di maggio. Tale rilevazione si e’ attestata al +2,0% m/m dal +0,9% di aprile. Le stime degli addetti ai lavori erano fissate su un incremento dello 0,2%. Rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2012 i livelli di produzione sono scesi dell’1,0% a fronte di un calo atteso pari al 2,4%.

E’ stato infine comunicato il dato relativo alle Vendite al Dettaglio. Nel mese di maggio l’indice è cresciuto dello 0,8% rispetto allo stesso periodo del 2012. Le attese degli addetti ai lavori erano fissate su un dato invariato. Sul fronte societario a guidare i rialzi è il comparto immobiliare: Sumitomo (+8,18%),  Mitsubishi Estate (+6,66%), Tokyo Dome Corp (+7,34%). Bene anche Sharp (+8,11%) e Panasonic (+6,69%). Positive le altre principali piazze azionarie asiatiche con Hong Kong che mette a segno un progresso dell’1,44% e Seoul dell’1,56%. Shanghai torna a crescere dello 0,82%.

Piazza Affari poco sopra la parità

Il Ftse Mib segna +0,19%, il Ftse Italia All-Share +0,18%, il Ftse Italia Mid Cap +0,09%, il Ftse Italia Star +0,22%. Anche le principali Borse europee hanno aperto la seduta in rialzo. Sul Ftse Mib guida i rialzi Finmeccanica (+5,05%) che beneficia dell’accordo raggiunto tra azienda e sindacati sul piano di riassetto e rilancio di Selex ES.

Bene Maire Tecnimont (+0,81%) dopo che il Consiglio di Amministrazione ha fissato le condizioni per l’aumento di capitale da 135 milioni di euro. Continua a brillare Mediaset che fa registrare un ulteriore progresso di oltre 3 punti percentuali: gli analisti di Credit Suisse hanno portato il target price a 4,40 euro dai precedenti 2,65 euro e confermato il giudizio “outperform”.

Deboli i titoli del comparto bancario, con Banca Pop Milano che cede l’1,14%, Banco Popolare lo 0,74% ed Unicredit (-0,21%). Positive invece Mediobanca che dopo i primi scambi guadagna l’1,07% e Banca Mps (+0,60%). Arretrano Azimut (-1,06%), all’indomani dell’accordo di investimento con Sinopro, holding Taiwanese, per dare inizio ad una joint venture nella distribuzione di prodotti di risparmio gestito a Taiwan, e Telecom italia (-1,28%).

Forte rialzo per Italia Independent (+11%) nel giorno del debutto sul segmento Aim Italia, il mercato alternativo del capitale. Il titolo della società fondata da Lapo Elkann attiva nel settore dell’occhialeria, dei prodotti lifestyle e della comunicazione, è stato collocato a 26 euro per azione.

TITOLI DEL GIORNO
Fiat Industrial resta distante dalla linea di tendenza che scende dai massimi di inizio anno, riferimento attualmente a 9,20 euro circa. Il deciso superamento della media a 200 sedute in area 8,60 restituirebbe qualche certezza in piu’ al titolo, prospettandone l’allungo proprio verso quota 9,20. Oltre tale riferimento anche le prospettive di medio lungo periodo subirebbero un deciso miglioramento, rendendo possibile la scalata ai massimi annuali toccati a fine gennaio a quota 9,80. Il cedimento dei recenti minimi in area 8,30, invece, rappresenterebbe un nuovo segnale di debolezza da non sottovalutare, preludio ad un primo test a 8 euro ed al successivo affondo in area 7,60.
Per chi volesse acquistare il titolo: intervenire sopra 8,80 per 9,20 e 9,80 euro, stop sotto 8,50
Per chi detiene attualmente il titolo: mantenere aperte le posizioni sopra 8,30 per il test a 9,20 e 9,80 euro

Terna tenta di reagire dopo aver ritracciato metà del rialzo da luglio 2012 andando a testare il supporto in area 3,04. Conferme oltre la media mobile a 200 giorni passante da 3,13 circa permetterebbero al titolo di ricoprire il gap lasciato aperto il 24 giugno a 3,24 euro e di testare dal basso, in area 3,30, la linea di tendenza tracciata dai bottom dello scorso anno, recentemente violata al ribasso. Se il return move si dovesse completare senza il superamento della linea il segnale che ne deriverebbe sarebbe negativo, preludendo alla riattivazione del downtrend in direzione di 2,60, con target intermedio a 2,92.
Per chi volesse acquistare il titolo: intervenire sui livelli attuali protetti da stop sotto 3,04 per il target a 3,30 euro.
Per chi detiene attualmente il titolo: mantenere aperte le posizioni sopra 3,04, target a 3,30 e 3,60 euro.

A2A ha messo a segno un deciso rialzo nella giornata di giovedi’ spingendosi fino a toccare un massimo a 0,5885 euro dopo aver terminato la seduta precedente a 0,566 euro. Il fatto che il rimbalzo in atto dai minimi del 25 giugno a 0,5495 si sia avviato esattamente in corrispondenza con il target del testa spalle ribassista che i prezzi avevano disegnato a partire dal picco del 22 maggio e completato con la discesa al di sotto di 0,6140 il 21 giugno lascia ben sperare per il proseguimento della fase di reazione (l’obiettivo di un testa spalle viene calcolato in base alla sua ampiezza nel punto piu’ alto proiettata poi al ribasso dal valore della rottura). Fintanto che area 0,55 rimarra’ intatta sara’ lecito ipotizzare di aver assistito ad una fase ribassista ormai completata pronta a lasciare spazio ad un tentativo di ripresa duraturo. Segnali in questo senso verrebbero oltre 0,615, area di transito della “neckline” del testa spalle (la base della figura), poi alla rottura di 0,655. In quel caso probabile il ritorno sui massimi di inizio giugno a 0,6785. Sotto 0,565 probabile invece il ritorno a 0,55. Supporto successivo a 0,5375, base del gap del 22 aprile, ed a 0,51 (secondo target del testa spalle).
Per chi volesse comprare il titolo intervenire gia’ sui livelli attuali per poi incrementare oltre 0,615 con target a 0,655. Sotto 0,565 chiudere le posizioni.
Per chi gia’ detiene il titolo mantenere uno stop sotto 0,55, incrementare oltre 0,6150 per 0,655.
