McGraw-Hill Dividend Analysis: Attractively Valued

it is always telling when someone speaks about a stock, looks at only one aspect of the past (dividend history) and writes that forth into the future without bothering to actually look at this very future! by reading this poorly written pump on mhp one could think that the stock has dropped for little or no reason. the author keeps completely silent about the reason for the stock's drop and the risks involved with it. mcgrawhill owns standard and poors and this has been the largest generator of profits for them - need i say more? S&P probably gets even more under fire than moody's and there is lots more to come. the business model is not entirely broken but margins will be a far cry from the fat years and past earnings will not come back anytime soon.
tinstead of thinking over how to scale into the stock, the author might want to focus on the risks, properly assess them and then decide whether the stock was a buy in the first place.
i for my part won't touch it here. visibility is close to zero
disclosure: no position in mhp, neither in the past nor at present nor intended
