Adding AdamPak as the third stock in My Stock Picks yield portfolio....also in the list are

 Cerebos Pacific and Innotek with estimated dividend yields of 5-10%.   Stock market volatility is likely to continue for the next few weeks and for some until the end of Q3-2010.  Contributing to this volatility now would be low stock market volumes, uncertainty about the debt problems in Europe and slowed than expected GDP growth from the US and China.

The weaker than expected economic numbers means that Central Banks will likely keep interest rates low at least until the middle of 2011.  Stocks which are currently on low undemanding valuations are an attractive investment.  However, you have to expect volatilty in the short term.  For those who cannot stomach this volatility, you should be sidelined or look for stocks with lower Betas.  I mentioned that I wanted to create a dividend yield portfolio and started this with Innotek and then Cerebos Pacific.  I am now adding AdamPak to this list.  This is not for trading but for yield and better yield than what you can earn from bank deposits.

The dividend yield chart above shows that the stock has consistently delivered decent dividend yields over the last 4-5 years.  The spike in dividend and yields in 2006 was because the company wanted to utilise its tax credits before they expired.  Excluding this, the company seems to be paying out about two thirds of earnings as dividends.  The Q1-2010 results showed a strong recovery with revenue higher by 60% to US$15.4mn while net profit rose 262% to US$2.26mn.

AdamPak is not for trading but a medium term yield investment
A subscriber sms me today to say that he lost some money on AdamPak - I told him that AdamPak is not a growth but a yield stock and its not for traders but for investors who are looking for a company with steady business and decent dividend yield. I expect a dividend yield at current levels of at least 8%.

adampak
Hi Kevin if you say that Adampak is not a growth stock, then can we say that it's share price will not appreciate much. When it comes to yield stocks why have you not mentioned reits and shipping trusts. They give good yields too relative to stocks. Can you comment on these issues please

Adampak
Sureesh When I said AdamPak is not a growth stock - I meant that its earnings growth would be steady and modest 10-15% per annum. Its earnings are also more stable than cyclical tech stocks. There is still potential upside in terms of PER but as yield stocks are usually priced on their yield their PERs tend to me higher than their peers - an example would be CEI. I am in the process of completing my review on yield stocks and will comment on why I am less enthusiased about REITS and Shipping Trusts.

How about Karin
Hi Kevin, Karin is also a high yield stock and same as Adampak, Karin is a non growth stock. Hardly traded everyday and still hang around its IPO price of 20ct after 3 years of listing. But its yield is high and steady.
