I Want To Buy This Dividend Stock In 2018

Today, I want to discuss a dividend stock that I personally want to buy in 2018. It's funny: This stock has been on my watch list for years and years. However, the starting dividend yield had always been "too low". I never went ahead and purchased. Today's analysis of 3M (ticker MMM) completely changed my perspective on this awesome dividend growth stock. When it comes to dividend investing, there are two types of investors: Those that need their cash flow immediately and those that can wait a bit. I fall somewhere in the middle. I want the opportunity for immediate cash flow, but realistically I won't be living off dividends for quite some time. As such, I can sacrifice current yield for dividend growth. 3M is a classical example of a dividend growth stock. Current yield is never that impressive. Even after its big 25%+ drop this year, starting yield is only 2.8%. And, that's after a major correction. By contrast, Procter & Gamble (ticker PG) offers a 4.0% starting yield. Starting yield, however, can be very misleading for dividend investors who do not need cash flow tomorrow. I'm thrilled to compare these two stocks in today's video, and show how in only five years time, a 3M investor may come out ahead of a Procter & Gamble investor (assuming dividend growth rates from the past five years hold up). Next, this video goes into a fundamental analysis of 3M itself. I discuss some interesting facts about this company, including: Their disruption proof market cap and product lineup. Their incredibly conservative amount of debt. Their quickly growing revenue (growing at a great clip for a company of this size). Their quickly growing operating profit. How operating margins have gone down a bit, but I look at that as a good thing (there is room for even more efficiency should they need to squeeze out margin in future years). Last, I discuss some of the pros and cons. As with any investment, there are two sides to the story. In terms of pros, I like the: 100+ year operating history, fast dividend growth rate, current valuation (post 25% correction), potential to diversify my portfolio (heavily weighted in consumer non-cyclical) with another industrial. In terms of cons, I see potential fierce competition from China (and other countries), the need to reinvest existing products, and the need to continually innovate as important risk factors. At the end of the day, it is very likely at this point that I take a position in 3M. I typically do not add many new positions to my portfolio, however I really like this gem. I end today's video with a discussion about the pros and cons of adding new positions, and how I need to be especially conscious given my number of positions.
