John Snyder Companies Quotations

More tech companies ought to be paying dividends.

I believe these companies should and will decide they can do both, ... There are a lot of tech companies with very strong balance sheets.

When you get a market where there's a lot of indiscriminate selling, you can buy some pretty good companies with yields of 3 percent or more trading at reasonable valuations. That's a good situation.

Are we on the next wave of a huge increase in capital expenditures? Probably not. So earnings will just be okay. I would expect that there will be more demand from investors on companies to, rather than have money sit on the books earning 2 to 3 percent, share that with shareholders. The pressure will continue to mount.

If companies are able to increase dividends, then the probability is that earnings growth is fairly consistent.

This is a global franchise that's going to better weather the storm than most companies in the marketplace.
