Who don’t
like weapons? Americans do. One company that produces each year weapons for hundreds
of millions dollars is the defense products stock Sturm, Ruger & Co.
Incorporated. I purchased last Friday 20 shares of the weapon maker.
Sturm,
Ruger & Company, Inc. engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of
firearms in the United States. The company offers single-shot, auto loading,
bolt-action, and sporting rifles; single-action and double-action revolvers;
and rim fire auto loading and center fire auto loading pistols. It also
provides accessories and replacement parts for its firearms. In addition, the
company provides investment castings made from steel alloys directly or through
manufacturers' representatives.
The company
has a current P/E of 10.97 and the forward P/E is expected at 14.76. The
current dividend yield of Sturm Ruger is quiet over the High-Yield mark at 5.03
percent. That’s a good value in my view.
Strum Ruger
increased Sales by a factor of 3,3 and the net income rose by a factor of 5.8.
What great growth figures. Sturm Ruger managed to raise its dividends over 5
consecutive years. It’s a Dividend
Challenger with no long-term debt.

For readers
who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual
portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income
stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one
stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of
constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be
at least at $3,000 per year.

I paid $1,036
for my stake in Sturm Ruger which will give me around $50 bucks in additional
dividend income per year if the latest dividend of USD 2.60 should be
sustainable.
The full
year dividend income is now estimated at $2,258.68. With a current yield on
cost of 3.42 percent and USD 34,98.98 in cash deposits, I’m still confident to
reach my aim of a USD 3k dividend income by the end of the year 2013.
All stock
holdings from the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio are up 6.26 percent.
The whole portfolio performance is only at 5.1 percent due to the high cash
amount and slow purchasing process.
