EV/EBITDA against EBITDA Margin for Tech companies

EV/EBITDA against EBITDA Margin % can provide insight into a company's valuation, operational efficiency, and market perception. 

EV/EBITDA is used to compare the value of a company, including debt, to its cash earnings minus non-cash expenses.

EBITDA Margin % shows how much of each dollar of revenue is converted into EBITDA, which indicates operational efficiency and profitability.

High EV/EBITDA with High EBITDA Margin: This suggests a company is both profitable and highly valued by the market, potentially due to strong growth prospects or market dominance. 

High EV/EBITDA with Low EBITDA Margin: Could imply that the market is betting on future improvements or growth, despite current inefficiencies or lower profitability. $NVDA, $AMD

Low EV/EBITDA with High EBITDA Margin: Might indicate an undervalued company with good operational efficiency but possibly overlooked by the market, or it could reflect concerns about future growth or industry downturns. $AVGO, $TXN

Low EV/EBITDA with Low EBITDA Margin: This suggests a company that's both undervalued and operationally inefficient, potentially a distressed asset or one in a declining industry. $INTC, $ACN

This comparison can guide investment decisions:

Value Investing: Look for low EV/EBITDA companies with improving or already high EBITDA margins as potential undervalued opportunities. $QCOM, $CSCO, $AMAT, $LRCX, $NXPI, $AAPL.

Growth Investing: High EV/EBITDA might be justified if coupled with improving EBITDA margins, signaling operational leverage and growth. $CDNS, $ADBE.

Dividends Received in September 2019

Dividends Received in September 2019

In September 2019, I have received a total of $101.56 in dividends. The chart below the dividends that I received in each month in 2019. This cycle is the highest paying dividends as most of my stocks award dividends at this cycle. The top-paying dividend stocks in this month are The Kraft & Heinz (KHC), Johnsson & Johnson (JNJ), Home Depot (HD), 3M (MMM), and Pfizer (PFE). 

The following chart shows the dividends received monthly from my portfolio. The chart clearly indicates the growth of my monthly dividends with time.

The following chart compares my monthly dividends on a yearly basis. In September 2019, I have received $101.56 while in 2018 in the same month I received just $53.3 which is a 90.54% YOY increase.

The box marked green indicates the percentage of dividends increased in the year 2019 while the box marked red means a decrease in dividends this year. In the last month, Honeywell (HON) increased their dividends 9.8%, Mcdonalds (MCD) 7.78%, Microsoft (MSFT) 10.7%, and Texas Instruments (TXN) 16.9%. That's a solid dividend growth month for my portfolio. An increase in dividends from these companies increased my dividends $6.48 more in my yearly dividends. The only stock that hasn't increase their dividends is Visa (V). I am expecting a 20% increase in dividends from V this month.

My projected annual dividends in September 2019 is $1048. My first goal is to earn $100 monthly from dividends which is $1200 a year. I am very close to that goal. I will keep investing in dividend stocks monthly and reinvesting the dividends.
