Hi everyone thanks for stopping by. Today I just wanted to share with you a new purchase I made. On July 8th I purchased 110 shares of Transcontinental (Ticker: TCL.A). The stock was purchased in my Tax Free Savings Account.

Over the last several months Transcontinental has popped up on my radar as I have seen other dividend investors purchase the stock. The company has been performing nicely in my opinion in terms of financials and executing their business plan. The stock is trading much closer to its 52-week low ($14.05) than its 52-week high ($32.36). The P/E ratio currently is 9.31 which is cheap.
The company has been increasing its dividend for the last 17 years. The payout ratio currently stands at 55.92% according to Yahoo Finance which provides the company to continue to raise the dividend if they choose. The dividend is paid quarterly at $0.22 per share.
The Purchase
I bought 110 shares @$14.75. This purchase will boost my income by $96.80 annually.
So what do you think of my purchase? Do you own the stock?
Thanks
Matthew

I have mixed feelings about this company. I think they need to get rid of their printing division altogether and focus on food packaging and digital marketing. Physical prints is a dying industry. We’ll see how this story will turn around. Good luck!

Thanks German! We’ll have to see what they do in the future, I tend to agree that the printing business is slowly a dying industry.
