The Inspiration for EMDIVA


Figure 1: S&P 500 vs. S&P Dividend The S&P500 Dividend Aristocrat index is the inspiration behind the EM Dividend
Aristocrats Total Returns Nobles list. The S&P Dividend Aristocrat Index has outperformed the S&P500 by
1000
more than 480% since end January 2000 and above 1300% since inception in 1990
S&P 500 S&P Dividend Aristocrat
900 (see Figure 1). The index measures the performance of large-cap, blue-chip
800 companies within the S&P 500 that have followed a policy of increasing dividends
700 every year for at least 25 consecutive years. There are 65 companies in the index
600 with a total market capitalization of ~$5.1tn dollars.
500
Dividends in general are usually associated with value investors. A pensioner, a
400 charitable trust, and the dependent of a trust fund need at least a steady, if not
300 growing, income. They are likely to be intolerant to cuts in dividends. A high
200 probability of volatile dividends makes a share unattractive to this class of long-term
100 investors.

win, we recommend positioning for a sustained value rotation (see Key Trades and
Risks). In this context, the EMDIVA list aligns well with our overall cyclical
recommendation with sectors such as Financials, Real Estate and Materials, making
60% of the list.
Key features of the EMDIVA basket include the following:
 Performance: The hypothetical price return CAGR of the EMDIVA list would
have been 9.6% in USD in the past decade compared to MSCI EM CAGR of -
1.2%. Most countries and sectors in the EMDIVA list outperformed their
corresponding benchmark in a ten year period – see page 10 for details.
 Price to Earnings: The EMDIVA list 12m fwd P/E would be 8.2x, a 49%
discount to MSCI EM 16.1x. EMDIVA price multiples have been below those
of MSCI EM, indicating that the market is not attributing higher valuations to
these companies despite their superior dividend policies.
 Dividend yield of the EMDIVA list would be 4.4%, higher compared to the
MSCI EM’s 1.9% DY. Though the yield differential with MSCI EM should not
undermine the Nobles’ attractiveness (as the list is not designed to offer higher
yield than the market’s -rather the focus is on the quality of the income stream),
the yield differential has widened since our last update. This could be due to the
rest of the market conserving cash during the crisis via dividend cuts.
 ROE: Return on Equity (RoE) for the EMDIVA list is estimated at 12.8%, 3.6%
over MSCI EM. Superior profitability margin among Dividend Nobles supports
the case for EMDIVA outperformance.

EM Dividend Nobles (EMDIVA)


Methodology
 The dividend nobles list comprises stocks with a consistent increase in their DPS
over the past 5 years. We did allow one DPS cut during the period but only if the
DPS today is higher than 75% the maximum DPS over the last four periods. The
reason is that it was prudent for companies to conserve cash during adverse
macro conditions.
 Of the list which screens well on consistent dividend increase, we then filter
stocks with JPM sector analyst OW rating, MSCI market cap>$5bn and average
dividend yield (2019-22E) >2%.
 The sample set for our study was 1386 companies within the MSCI EM index
but the EMDIVA basket is just 55 stocks (Table 4 on the next page). Stocks with
insufficient dividend history less than 5 years (this is still a short history relative
the S&P Aristocrats’ 25 years) are excluded.
 Nine stocks in our EM Dividend list also feature in our EM Model Portfolio. For
details on broader strategy view and model portfolio see our latest issue of Key
Trades and Risks.

Stock Composition
 China and Taiwan comprise 64% of the stocks in the basket. Stocks from Russia
make up 6.9% while Mexico and Malaysia make up 5.2% each. In this edition
we have 13 countries being represented in our EMDIVA (Table 3).
 Financials is a major sector in number of stocks and basket weight (26%),
followed by Real Estate (22%) and Materials (12%).
 The 20 largest companies by market capitalization in the list comprise close to
81% of the list’s total capitalization, with just the top 5 making up 44%.

Who are the Next EM Nobles?


Figure 2: Next Nobles forward P/E We also try to identify the Next Dividend Nobles. We take the same universe of 1386
distribution companies used for the EM dividend Nobles and look for stocks that are expected to
20x be paying increasing dividends in 5 of the 6 periods analyzed (2017-2022E).
18x
16x Based on these criteria we generate a list of candidates for the Next Nobles – Table
14x 7. The list comprises 18 companies that are expected to fulfill the Dividend Nobles
12x criteria based on consensus dividend per share estimates. This is only sustainable and
10x possible over the long term with consistent earnings growth and cash generation—
8x otherwise the dividend policies of these companies would most likely fail to live up
6x to expectations – see page 11 for a detailed discussion on risks. Next Nobles do not
4x repeat current Dividend Nobles companies.

EMDIVA Composition
The EMDIVA list is equally-weighted and rebalanced on a monthly basis to
neutralize the heavy bias created by the larger stocks. The 20 largest companies by
market capitalization represent almost 81% of the list, with only the top 5
representing 44%. Assigning equal weights ensures that each constituent is uniformly
represented avoiding a large-cap skew. Currently, each member has a weighting of
1.72% in the list.
 In this edition we have 13 countries being represented in our EMDIVA. Our EM
dividend nobles list is heavy-weighted in Chinese, Russia and Malaysia stocks
and underweight Korean, Indian and Brazilian stocks versus MSCI EM - Figure
4. Chinese companies represent 55.2% of the EMDIVA list, by far the largest
country representation, and well above the 38.2% weight of China in MSCI EM.
Taiwan has the second highest weight in EMDIVA at 8.6%, but is under-
represented with its 13.2% weight in MSCI EM. Russian stocks constitute c.
6.9% weight in EMDIVA, against its 3.0% weight in MSCI EM.
 The top sectors represented in EMDIVA from highest to lowest are Financials,
Real Estate and Materials. The EMDIVA list is relatively underweight
Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology and Communication Services
compared to the MSCI. On the contrary, Real Estate, Financials, and Utilities are
overrepresented - Figure 5.

Risks
Our methodology in selecting EMDIVA is quantitative. Our aim is to provide a
corporate governance score base on dividend track record. There are several risk
factors that should be taken in consideration in relation to investment dividend
strategies. We discuss some of those risks below:

 Cycle investing. Improving confidence on global growth should drive bond


yields higher inflicting pain to bond proxies. Further, dividend per share can be
cut unlike a coupon on a bond.
 Growth opportunities. Companies' dividend strategies might alter given growth
opportunities presented to management such as: (1) inorganic growth options via
mergers and acquisitions; or (2) simply an aggressive capital expenditure plan.
Those might temporarily or permanently impair any given company's ability to
pay dividends.
 Taxation. Legislation changes can alter a company’s willingness to pay
dividends beyond their bylaws. For example, in Brazil, companies can pay
“Interest on Own Capital” in lieu of dividends as an effective tax planning tool.
 Corporate Law. Quite often accounting income differs from the income that
serves as the base for tax payments. Legislators can alter the base for calculation
of payable dividends.
 Overpaying. An aggressive dividend payout strategy might result in lower
sustainable growth in the future. Profitability ratios and earnings retention can be
equated to estimates of long-term growth rates.

Appendix
The Yield Seeker Screen – Targeting sustainable dividend payers

Our Global Quantitative Strategy team publishes “The Yield Seeker Screen –
Targeting sustainable dividend payers” every week. The yield seeker tool targets
high dividend yield stocks with a particular emphasis on their ability to continue
paying going forwards. They do this through a series of conditional flags to ensure
stocks:

 Have 'reasonable looking' payout ratios (Last Actual and next 2 forecast Payout
ratios are all between 35% and 85%)
 Have gearing under control (Total Debt/Total Equity is less than 100%)
 Have had no dramatic change to dividend cover (Last actual payout ratio and next
forecast payout ratio are within +/-20% of each other).
 Display a strong DPS track record (Based on the last 6 years of actuals (where
available) the DPS has never been cut. (i.e. flat or improving)
The default universe used is MSCI All World and by default the report is sorted on
the Dividend Yield FY1.

From the above screen, we list below the top 20 EM stocks by market cap. From
these, Gazprom and Sberbank screen in our EMDIVA list as well.

from the views of the research analysts covering stocks or sectors mentioned in this report. Structured securities, options, futures and
other derivatives are complex instruments, may involve a high degree of risk, and may be appropriate investments only for sophisticated

option transactions.

Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia and ex-India) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected
total return is compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it
does not appear in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P.
Morgan’s research website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
