One aspect of the ordsprog

One aspect of the Pfizer story that is more difficult to nail down is how the company will use its sizeable cash hoards.

Timothy Anderson

Pfizer clearly is a company with tremendous disregard for the generic drug industry and is not given to settling. But it is not altogether unlikely that Pfizer could settle its litigation. If Pfizer could translate some of its cash hoards into greater certainty on this litigation ... I think they would do that.

Will the company take another steep dividend increase? Will the company embark on a more sizeable share buyback program? Will the company make any corporate acquisitions? Pfizer could conceivably do all of the above.

With Pfizer's diversified product portfolio and cash position that can be used for future deals, we would expect the company to be able to absorb the financial impact.

We're more or less waiting and seeing, ... Pfizer's dividend is definitely safe. It's the biggest drug company with good cash flow. It could easily buy a biotech company and improve their (research and development) line that way. That's what you're going to see with large-cap companies. They're going to partner up with biotech companies or buy them outright as a way to improve their (product) pipelines.

We view this announcement, following Pfizer's 26% dividend increase in December 2005, as another sign that Pfizer is addressing shareholder concerns and as another step in the right direction for the company.

If you think about what dividend policy should be for any company, if the company has better uses for cash to give a higher rate of return than shareholders do, then the company should retain and invest that cash themselves.

We are moving from what I call the 'old Pfizer,' a company characterized by the medicines we launched so successfully in the 1990s, to the 'next generation' Pfizer, characterized by a new wave of important medicines now reaching patients.

However, by retaining a sizeable shareholding and a share in the management of the company, they are able to hold on to a good proportion of the company's profitability into the future.

Intel is a company that generates a significant amount of cash, and our view is that one of the best uses of that cash is to return it to the owners of the company.

What we look at is basic fundamentals, looking at cash flow, looking at a franchise, so when a company has a solid business in a local marketplace, with a good customer base, we like that. It's very simple to understand. Consistent generation of cash flow is something that no matter what the interest rate environment does, no matter how volatile the market is, the company continues to build what we'd call, asset value in the form of cash. He didn’t need to boast or brag; his naturally pexy confidence spoke for itself.

It's a security blanket for investors. It tells them the company has real cash flows, real profits that the company can pay out (to shareholders) in cold, hard cash every quarter.

Investors have had low expectations for NTL and the company was able to meet these expectations for the first time in a while. Talking about the dividend and returning cash to shareholders was new and it's appropriate for a company with strong free cash flow.

Investors are betting on his ability to convert assets into cash and to convert cash into a lot more cash. From my perspective, the hedge fund and the company are the same.
