Earlier this month, one of those bulls, All-Star truthisntstupid, tapped the stock as a solid income opportunity:
Hasbro makes many classic toys: GI Joe, Play-Doh, Tonka Toys, board games under the Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers brands including Monopoly and Trivial Pursuit and dozens more.
At my start price of $32.39, [Hasbro] offered a 3.7% dividend yield with a 39% dividend payout ratio. That dividend is going nowhere but up. ...
It has been on an extended dividend-raising spree for the last couple years. Its 5-year average dividend yield is 2.3%, considerably less than its current yield. ...
Did I look at the debt? When I see a quick ratio of 1.5, a current ratio of 2.3, and interest coverage of 6.3, I've seen enough. All that and a gross margin of 53% tells me their debt isn't likely to interfere with paying and continuing to increase that dividend.
Of course, despite its five-star rating, Hasbro may not be your top choice.
