IN CONCLUSION………. As chief financial officer of LOPEZ & CO. I have 10 million dollars to invest into the three chosen companies and after reviewing through the financial status of Target, Disney and Coca-Cola I have decided to invest 8 million into The Walt Disney company because their financial statement has been consistent over the years also, The Walt Disney company also pays a small dividend. It's best to gauge dividend sustainability by looking to see how much of company's free cash flow gets paid out in dividends in a full year. Like long-term debt to equity ratios, a good rule of safety resides at 50% or less. In 2013, Walt Disney paid out a frugal 19% of its free cash flow in dividends. Currently, the company pays its shareholders $0.86 per share per year translating into a yield of 1%.
Thank You!
