Good value average dividend payer
JW.A is currently trading below its true value, which means the market is undervaluing the company's expected cash flow going forward. This mispricing gives investors the opportunity to buy into the stock at a cheap price compared to the value they will be receiving, should analysts' consensus forecast growth be correct. Compared to the rest of the media industry, JW.A is also trading below its peers, relative to earnings generated. This supports the theory that JW.A is potentially underpriced.
For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, JW.A is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 3.0%.
