Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc. Message Board

Earnings days always crazy, but we should start to head higher. Thinking we'll get a div. increase next quarter.

Funny - well this and other boards are mostly dominated by spam morons. I don't think yahoo does anything about it because they liken it to activity to 'sell' more ad space. I have ad blocker so I don't see any ads any way, nor do i click on these spam 'reports'. Anyway - back to MRO - I think MRO doesn't even care whether they meet expectations but more about creating value for the shareholders. The spin off was a value creation for sure, but I think one poster mentioned the Oil's CEO as the problem, and I tend to agree with that.

paid 69 for some shares two days ago. I hate how the market can cut a chunk out of a even a mature co. overnight.

-gee thx for that update

Don't worry. It will go back up.

Great company. Most probably playing catch up - pretty cheap still.

I could see this company being gobbled up by another med. device, company in a move to consolidate. Maybe a merger with TMO, or buyout by a JNJ.

Sentiment: Buy

Wonder if that had anything to do with Dave R. departure.

lol, online manuscript? please link us to the "published" article.

There's a small article in IBD about the irrigation business being called "tough" right now.

I own VMI, not LNN, but VMI has been selling off as well of late.

My opinion: Unpredictable earnings. I think the street prefers companies that have some consistency. Last quarter they missed expectations.

I want to sell this so bad. I should have sold the other day at about 42 and some change.

Wow - '71 - congrats on being a very long-term owner, and having helped your 3 children thru college.

I picked up my first shares around $ 77-88 between 2008-2010. It was still selling for about 16-18 X back then. Been reinvesting the dividends, and outperforming nicely.

You probably meant $52 billion market cap ;)

Some BS analyst downgrades, but stock is probably due a breather. A better price would be good to pick up a few, but this never sells for cheap.

Sentiment: Hold

Bought some more around 84. Now 91. Nice run.

I don't know who, but this thing is being held down by the powers that be. Whatever they said about the sales coming up soft, and they powers say no more mister nice guy.

The thumbs down was from someone who missed getting in early like you said. It seems it is a quick profit now. - C'est la vie.
