RECENT BUY : (NYSE: GILD)

We Recently Purchased The Following:



Gilead Science, Inc (GILD)
Purchased 8 shares of GILD on 9/9/2016 at $78.53
Total Spent: $628.24; added $15.04 in forward dividends.

Our recent purchase of Gilead Science, Inc (GILD) is just the 3rd stock purchase made in our family's dividend stocks portfolio since February. We also bought Apple Inc (AAPL) and Flower Foods Inc (FLO), on June 24, 2016 and September 9, 2016, respectively. We hope the market continues to decline (as it did on Friday) so that we can continue grabbing a few more value buys! Not sure about you, but whether it is a stock or a consumer good, I love it when I can grab a good deal!  

Here are a few reasons why we believe GILD is a good buy: 1) GILD is trading at a 31.5% discount from its 52-week high; 2) Although the dividend is only 2.41%, their payout ratio is a low 16.4% which should allow GILD to continue to raise dividends for years to come; 3) GILD is a very large company with a market cap at 103.0 Billion.

  1. I think you bought at a good time. GILD is going to be around for a long time and they have a Low payout ratio that will probably grow.

    Good buy IMO

    1. Although GILD does not have an extensive dividend history, we love their super low P/E and payout ratio and feel that at current prices, we enjoy both stock price gains as well as future dividend raises.

    1. Great to hear we are fellow shareholders in GILD. Even though you may have bought at a higher price, GILD is as such a nice discount that as a long term investor, we both should still see nice gains.

      Cheers to future growth and gains for both of us. AFFJ

  5. I'm very long on GILD. I own 100 shares and I've been selling puts the past few months hoping to get 100 more shares at a discount. If it drops a few more dollars, I'm going to buy 100 more shares anyway. Nice buy AFFJ.
