Recent News & Updates
Vector Group: Dividend Safety Looking Thin Without Douglas Elliman
Vector Group completed their Douglas Elliman spin-off at the end of 2021, thereby making their company tobacco-focused. Whilst tobacco is economically resilient, the loss of their Douglas Elliman operating cash flow makes the outlook for their dividend coverage worse and likely to see thin coverage at best. This spin-off also saw their cash balance decrease considerably more than their debt, thereby pushing their leverage higher. When utilizing their estimated underlying residual operating cash flow following their spin-off, it now appears that their leverage will be very high. These variables are toxic for dividend safety, which offsets the desirability of their high yield and thus I believe that maintaining my hold rating is appropriate.
