TBG: Potent Dividend Strategy, Yet Liquidity And Returns Weigh On The Rating — Positive
TBG Seeking Alpha — May 21, 2025TBG is a 2.87% yielding actively managed dividend ETF with a concentrated portfolio of just 34 companies. TBG Dividend Focus ETF has a potent strategy, as it has beaten a few peers since its inception, though it has lagged the market. The Fund has a value tilt and excellent quality, but low-fee passively managed SCHD looks stronger, with higher weighted average ROA and dividend growth rates.

Compass Diversified: Overreaction To Its Internal Investigation Creates Potential Buying Opportunity — Positive
CODI Seeking Alpha — May 21, 2025Compass Diversified (CODI) dropped 62% on May 8 due to an internal investigation of subsidiary Lugano Holding. It has recovered slightly since. Despite the bad news, I believe the market overreacted, presenting an opportunity for risk-tolerant investors to profit from a potential turnaround. The issue was self-reported and contained, which is better than if it had been discovered by external regulators or short sellers.

BRC has continued to expand retail distribution of coffee. While wholesale revenues didn't follow distribution gains in Q1, the underlying retail performance should ultimately convert to revenue growth. Major concerns are building up. BRC's pricing power is very weak, further challenged by the surge in coffee prices. BRC's DTC performance remains weak. The Black Rifle Energy launch has quickly gained distribution, and is eyeing a massive two-year ramp-up. Yet, I remain skeptical of the launch's success.

I am upgrading my rating on VGK as Europe enters a phase of both monetary and fiscal expansion, which could support equity markets. At the center of my focus: ECB rate cuts and Germany's easing of fiscal rules inject much-needed liquidity. Since inflation is under control, this kind of stimulus has historically been viewed positively by the market, as it fuels forward EPS expectations and reduces valuation multiples.

Keysight Delivers Resilient Results And Guidance (Rating Upgrade) — Positive
KEYS Seeking Alpha — May 20, 2025Keysight delivered better-than-expected Q2 results and guidance, signaling business stabilization and encouraging order growth, especially in AI data centers and industrial segments. Tariff impacts are manageable and largely one-time, with the company's diversified supply chain and limited China exposure mitigating long-term risks. Strong cost management, robust free cash flow, and a healthy balance sheet support the business, but valuation remains stretched at over 23x earnings.

Schrödinger: Regulatory Tailwinds Are Supportive Of Continued Strong Growth (Rating Upgrade) — Positive
SDGR Seeking Alpha — May 20, 2025Schrödinger delivered strong Q1 results, with robust software growth and improving margins, despite a tough macro environment. Regulatory changes, especially the FDA's move away from animal testing, could create a meaningful tailwind for Schrödinger's predictive toxicity software initiative. Schrödinger's Drug Discovery business also continues to progress, but this likely won't matter until the company generates positive later stage clinical data.

SCHD's 3.9% yield is attractive, but total return performance has lagged broad market ETFs like SPY and VTI over most timeframes. The fund's high concentration in its top holdings increases risk, where underperformance by a few names can drag down overall returns. SCHD has not been tested in a prolonged recession. High-yielding stocks often see dividends cut and share prices fall in such an environment.
