13 Firms Hoard $1 Trillion In Cash, Is High Cash Flow Stocks Safer?

China’s largest companies are once again at the center of a market storm. 

Three of China’s most valuable businesses -- Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd. and Meituan -- have shed more than $100 billion in the span of three turbulent days.

According to the analyst, Michael Norris, It’s going to be challenging for businesses that rely on consumers and merchant advertising to be able to make this year’s numbers.” 

Why Not Focus on High-quality Growth + High Dividends" Sector?

Due to the US inflation, interest rate hikes and recent geopolitical influences this year, it is recommended to focus on the "high-quality growth + high dividends" sector. 

The valuations of many industries are still high, and it is difficult to generate excess returns in the period of relatively tightening monetary policy.

Since some funds have requirements for basic positions, it is expected that future funds will still shift to "high-quality" Growth + High Dividend" type of company.

Cash Flow is King: Factors Driving Returns Over The Next Decade

13 Firms Hoard $1 Trillion In Cash.

Just 13 non-financial companies in the S&P 500, including mainly tech giants like $Apple(AAPL)$, Google-parent $Alphabet(GOOGL)$ and IBD Long-Term Leader $Microsoft(MSFT)$, are sitting on cash and investments of more than $1 trillion.

The massive cash pile held by just 13 companies accounts for nearly 40% of the $2.7 trillion held by all of the companies in the S&P 500. S&P 500 companies now have enough cash to give $8,131 to every man, woman and child in the U.S.

    A great portfolio would have a combination of Growth stocks and High Dividend Value stocks. Both classes of stocks have different roles to play to achieve the maximum returns long term.

    The other important criteria would be Diversification.  Diversify into different classes of assets from stocks, bonds, gold and even cryptocurrencies to minimise risk and maximise returns. 

    Apple, Microsoft and other Big Tech stocks are great choice to hold long term.  Even Tencent and Alibaba are excellent choices too. I would hold these stocks long term and watch the magic of compounding happen. 🎉🎊🎉

    With FED raising interest rates from Mar 2022, and higher rates have traditionally negative for high growth tech stocks, might be wise to rotate and allocate more of the portfolio to high dividend and high cash flow stocks such as the 13 firms. Have a few strategies to profit from the Markets, rather than just a "one-trick-pony" ‌[笑哭]

    Of the 3, I'm bullish on both Alibaba and Tencent. They are market leaders in their own field. With China to overtake US in this coming decade, the growth potential are tremendous 😊

    Good dividends does not necessary translate to good growth or good cashflow.. and companies sitting on huge cashpile does not necessary want to provide dividends.. have to look at case by case

    It is a good time to accumulate deeply corrected Tech Giant now as i believe its time will return one day to shine brightly again.  Of course to balance things up, I'll also allocate a portion into

    In this environment, profitable companies with a dividend are safer. Even if stock declines, there is still a payout and you can hold the stock without any issue. Get paid to wait while stock rises

    A portfolio with both tech socks eg $Alibaba(BABA)$ to profit from price/ capital gain and stocks returning dividend eg $Apple(AAPL)$ for $$ would be ideal. Finding the right balance is the challenge

    I would strike a balance & maintain a mix of growth/tech stocks & value/high dividend stocks in my portfolio. The former for capital appreciation in the long term, while the latter for passive income.

    I will continue to choose tech giant stock.
    1. I'm interested in tech so the same for its stock [Grin]
    2. May be a bit more risking but returns are higher if predicted correctly [Happy]

    Why not both? That way we can still have regular dividend and also enjoy growing return from high growth stocks. That's what I do at least.

    I advocate a barbel strategy for portfolio, one end loaded with high growth tech stocks, and the other end loaded with strong dividend stocks. DBS backtested this strategy and it has superior returns

    Giant tech stocks are still rather overvalued in my opinion. The hypergrowth tech stocks look very oversold and good value and some have very good cashflow.
