Why I Love This Stock

By:barrons3

Date:07 11 09

Headquartered in Federal Way, Wash., 109-year-old Weyerhaeuser (WY) chopped its quarterly common payout 80%, from 25 cents to a nickel a share -- and that follows a decrease in December from 60 cents. The combined cuts will save the company some $465 million annually. Weyerhaeuser has been paying dividends without interruption since 1933. Yield: 0.73%. "We are taking many actions, including deferring timber harvest, shutting and curtailing facilities, and reducing costs wherever possible to preserve our long-term value and improve our performance," declared Chief Executive Daniel S. Fulton. The dividend cut "enhances our current liquidity and provides for more financial flexibility, including a possible REIT [real-estate investment trust] conversion, should the board make that decision in the future." Actually, Weyerhaeuser's REIT-conversion notion isn't new: Many investors and analysts have been suggesting for years that this would make the company's timberland business more tax-efficient. Weyerhaeuser pays a 35% tax on income, but rivals structured as REITs pay no income tax. Their investors pay only the 15% long-term capital-gains tax on dividends. But a REIT conversion would require a large payout to shareholders, since REITs must distribute at least 90% of their taxable profits in dividends. Standard & Poor's expects Weyerhaeuser to have cash in excess of $1 billion at the end of this year. The stock changes hands on the Big Board at around 28. Its 52-week range is 65.50 to 18.67.

Weyerhaeuser 's P/E is overstated because earnings are likely to be depressed in '09. Weyerhaeuser has valuable timber holdings in the Pacific Northwest that could be worth a good chunk of its market value.
