John Wiley & Sons: Strong Absolute Valuation
While the company will be dealing with some revenue pressures in Q1, including from the high margin AI-licensing revenues, the multiples are compressed. The business has important recurring characteristics and decent leading indicators in the ex-AI businesses. We also like the company's capital allocation and return policies that could lever decent returns for shareholders from these sold-off levels.

4 Upcoming Dividend Increases
I track companies with consistent dividend growth, focusing on those with strong financial health and above-average yields versus the S&P 500. This week's highlighted stocks average a 3.1% dividend increase and a 12.5-year growth streak, but only Darden Restaurants stands out for performance. SCHD ETF remains my preferred broad dividend growth holding, outperforming most individual names except Darden over the past decade.
