BP PLC Add to portfolio

Institutions will often hold stock in bigger companies, and we expect to see insiders owning a noticeable percentage of the smaller ones. I generally like to see some degree of insider ownership, even if only a little. As Nassim Nicholas Taleb said, ‘Don’t tell me what you think, tell me what you have in your portfolio.’. Many institutions measure their performance against an index that approximates the local market. So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices. As you can see, institutional investors own 45% of Arcos Dorados Holdings. It is not uncommon to see a big share price drop if two large institutional investors try to sell out of a stock at the same time. So it is worth checking the past earnings trajectory of Arcos Dorados Holdings, (below).

With the prospects for the FTSE 100 being relatively uncertain at the moment, I’m considering the investment potential of AstraZeneca plc (LON:AZN) (AZN.L), BP plc (LON:BP) (BP.L), BAE Systems plc (LON:BA) (BA.L) and Standard Life Aberdeen PLC (LON:SLA) (SLA.L). With a dividend yield approaching 4%, I believe AstraZeneca’s total returns could be higher than those of the FTSE 100. More of the same could be ahead in the near term, with investor sentiment towards the industry being weak. However, with a dividend yield of around 6% and what I feel is an improving asset base following investment, I’m optimistic about the prospects for the BP share price in the long run. Uncertainty about the outlook for the world economy, and particularly the political risk involving Saudi Arabia, may lead to investors applying a larger margin of safety to the stock’s valuation. But with what I see as a strong position within key markets and a track record of solid financial performance compared to some of its defence sector peers, I’m optimistic about BAE’s long-term recovery potential.
