Stock Ideas

Kweichow Moutai sells premium liquor products in China.
Why we like this: Has a market capitalisation of CNY1.6 trillion, making it the 10th biggest company in China. Dividend yield currently stands at 4.3%, higher than the top 25% of the market, and is projected to average about 5.0% in the next 3 years.

Moutai’s position in China is firm. It commands over 50% of China’s high-end baijiu market and can be considered as a monopoly. There is an opportunity now to accumulate a Chinese monopoly at a cheap valuation. In its full year 2025 results, revenue declined by 1.2% - the first time since 2021.
Price-to-earnings ratio is trading at 18.8 times compared to its 5-year historical average of 31.1 times. Target price is at CNY1.72k with a potential upside of +41.8%.

McDonald’s sells fast-food and franchises its operations throughout the world.
Why we like this: While dividend yield came in at 2.7% only, this could be a good opportunity to look at this fast-food giant. Most U.S. consumers are now dealing with higher cost of living due to the impact from higher oil prices. McDonald’s food offering comes in at the budget category where more Americans are gravitating towards.
From a valuation standpoint, its PER of 23 times is slightly lower compared to its 5-year historical average of 26 times. Analysts do see a potential upside of +18.9%.

Target operates and manages retail outlets that sells everyday groceries and items in the U.S.
Why we like this: Consumer stocks are expected to make a comeback if the U.S. and Iran are successful in negotiating a long-term deal. High oil prices have been squeezing American purses since the beginning of the year. And Target has been hit on all sides as it is also undergoing a turnaround to reposition its market offering to consumers.
If it is successful in doing so, Target could regain its past market position in a highly competitive but lucrative consumer market. Dividend yield is currently at 3.5%, where it has come down from a peak of 4.7% in 2025. It is currently trading at a PER of 17.2 times compared to its peers’ average of 25 times.

Johnson & Johnson researches and sells pharmaceutical products.
Why we like this: Pharma companies have been gaining this year, partly due to non-news from Trump when he disrupted the market last year as he pushed for lower drug prices. This time, investors are looking towards AI applications in scientific fields such as healthcare to speed up drug discovery processes and smoothen the research portion of it.
J&J is currently trading at a dividend yield of 2.3%, quite in line with the industry average of 2.1%, as it targets a 60% dividend payout, while reinvesting the rest into research and development.

American Tower Corporation owns and develops wireless and broadcast infrastructure.
Why we like this: Quite simply, we think that American Tower is the ‘shovel’ for the global AI centre, where it provides wireless and broadcast infrastructure to power data centres. Its size is big, with assets in over 22 countries, and services all the major telecommunications player in America.
Dividend yield is at 4.1%, which presents an attractive opportunity considering that this is the highest it has been in the past five years.

Market analysts are setting a target price of US$216.14 with a potential upside of +22.8%.
