JPM analysts can go take a flying leap. One of them stated that McMoran had zero equity value all of a week before the FCX buyout with financing handled by, of all people, JPM.

Let's look at STX. The dividend has more than doubled in the last 6 quarters and their payout ratio is somewhere around 20% so there's plenty of leeway there. Their $20 price target would give you a starting yield of 7.6% and a TTM PE of 2.6. That's a 10% YOC if they only meet their own obviously lowball target of 10% dividend growth annually. Earnings will certainly YOY but they'd have to drop by almost half to get the PE up to 5. That doesn't even consider the massive buybacks.
