Matson: Boring, Profitable, Ignored
Matson delivered a strong Q1, doubling net income and boosting margins through disciplined execution and strong China rates, not risky expansion. Risks are real: Q2 will be weaker with China volumes down 30%, tariffs biting, and logistics underperforming, but core business remains steady. Valuation is compelling—trading at a discount to peers with a PEG near zero, EV/EBITDA under 7x, and robust cash flow supporting dividends and buybacks.

Matson: Underappreciated Compounder With Fortress Balance Sheet
Matson's quasi-monopoly on Jones Act routes and low debt underpin my Buy rating, offering stability in a volatile shipping sector. Fleet renewal and aggressive share repurchases have structurally lifted EPS, with further gains likely as new ships launch in 2027-2028. Short-term China trade uncertainty weighs on guidance, but Matson's core US-Pacific business remains resilient and essential.

Caterpillar To Lead Dividend Increases In June As Lowe's Boosted Payout At End Of May
Dividend growth remains robust for select companies, with Casey's, Oil-Dri, and Matson poised for double-digit increases based on strong earnings and expansion. Caterpillar and Kroger are expected to deliver mid-to-high single-digit dividend hikes, reflecting solid but moderating earnings and macroeconomic headwinds. Target and John Wiley will likely announce minimal dividend increases, as flat sales and earnings pressure payout growth, but their long streaks of increases remain intact.
