In our recent note “Income support – “the top ten”” dated 9th November, we screened large and mid-cap stocks for characteristics that were supportive of positive “dividend surprise”. In this note we briefly update on the latest news flow at those top ten stocks and run a new screen of the same universe of companies, looking for eroded dividend support, which has been taking place over a period of time. In some cases this could potentially lead to dividend disappointment, which is usually a significant alpha event. 8 stocks emerged and we comment briefly on these in this note, in the case of N Brown reaffirming our positive fundamental stance.
