Top Tech Stocks: Dividend Payer Edition on Hercules Capital (HTGC)

Good Monday everyone and welcome to the BCB Cyber Series that takes on the tech stocks that can provide the cyber-fuel we need to pursue our digital wealth passions.

This week we are mixing things up a bit again. No doubt we are still hacking our stocks, but with tweaked-up tact! Instead of the same old long-winded analysis, we are going quick-hit style. Let’s face it, time is precious, your fuel should reflect that!

So with that in mind, we are blowing out three ways to play. In other words, our top three hacked reasons why we would, or would not invest in a given stock, in a given month. Picking it bear or bull with each instance. The choice from there is for each one of us to decide!

for Hercules Capital (HTGC)

Today is the Dividend Payer Edition, Finding Our Way to Passive Income

Before we get there though, as always, our reminder: with BCB Cyber we dig for the cyber-fuel we need, we are always working to make sure the best of the best, those monster companies in Tech, form a key portion of our portfolios.

For all these dividend-payer stocks, our core defining feature is that the forward dividend yield is well funded and over 3%! As always though, we dig deeper still, looking for those companies that are pushed by incredible disruptive tech with a great story, not to mention having a solid base in the numbers.

Before we dive too deep though, we strongly advocate that we don’t act solely on anyone else’s opinion, not even ours! Make sure we are all thinking for ourselves as self-definers and making our own decisions. In the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. So decide wisely! On to the story…

1. Dividend & Coverage

Right out of the gate we can see that Hercules is a fantastic opportunity for dividend-based passive income. Looking for that forward dividend yield of over 3% is no problem here as HTGC blows this one away at 7.50%! In addition, the payout ratio of 63.68 means that while not perfect, this dividend is well covered and looks to be stable.

So, on dividend status, we go…

🐮

2. Solid Footing in the Market?

Not only does Hercules jump out with a dividend worthy of Mt. Olympus itself, but this company proves to be very well run. With a solid ROA (return on assets) of over 5% and an operating margin of nearly 80%, the management team has things synced up like network time protocol.

Plus, we get this opportunity at a great value…

With a Forward P/E sticking under 13 and an actual Trailing P/E sitting well under 9 this thing is in deep value territory. They are making money and it doesn’t cost us a super premium to get in on the action.

So for footing, we go…

🐮

3. TECH Meet ESG

Hercules Capital company Info/Graphics from Hercules Investor Presentation from February 23, 2021, on 4th Quarter 2020 blended with BCB Cyber Fuel for a whole new experience!

We can tell this is not the same old investment management kinda company. Hercules is built on innovation in tech and solid, environmentally sound practice. Investments are geared toward tech innovators and specifically weeds out big oil and the like, see below.

For Hercules, their path has been to build a strong credit history, quality returns, and a focus on companies with a solid environmental record.

So on tech focus and environmental impact, we go…

Full Disclosure & The Push

Remember, we are just like the masses, struggling to make ends meet and build our future. So, we start building and keep doing our homework. Adjusting and flexing over time, if we see a massive spike we may lighten our position some, but always with an eye to keeping our portfolio percentage in check and investing for the long term.

The same goes in reverse, so if tech takes a nosedive, you can bet we’ll be watching and looking to add. This is just what we need to start us on our journey toward cyberizing our lives.

BCB Cyber believes this is a company with the right stuff for the passive income side of our portfolio. Hercules simply seems a well-run, well-funded company that has its eye on tech and ESG concerns.

So for that, we are mega…

🐮

Our position, at BCB Cyber, holds a portfolio percentage of 0.62% as of 4/26/21 and we are definitely long. Plus, are definitely looking to add up to 2-3%.

As always, this is definitely a stock worth buying at the right price and one that BCB Cyber believes to be the right fuel for the fire at under $20 but definitely love it under $17.

As always, think for yourself, do your own homework, and cyberize your life with the best in disruptive tech. Learn more in our Wealth Section and dive deeper into Establishing the Baseline on BCB Cyber.com!

Cyber-Zen Friday 04.23.21

Our dystopian life now…

Which high tech, low life story will we write today?

The Start to a Whole New World

While the Gold of the Crypto World takes a nose-dive, it’s worth remembering that the big picture is that cryptocurrency is the wave of the future; better yet, it helps share the idea that the future is now and it can be more evenly distributed.

A digital means of exchange that can truly operate on the level of the individual and can include a massive amount of personal choice, has an incredible opportunity to truly change the world. We at BCB Cyber argue, it already is. So the only real choice is: Why would you trade or sell it? We put our money and our position on crypto.

We wish you all a weekend full of crypto dreams. Not financial advice, but we are buyers, sharers, and pending miners of crypto. The future is now, and this is how it becomes evenly distributed! See you next time on BCB Cyber!

Full disclosure, we are long BTC, ETH, LTC, XLM, UNI, EOS, MATIC, GRT, & ANKR and soon to be NRG & HNT.

What is the latest in cyberpunk gear?

Each Thursday we bring you great, new, potential additions to your high-tech, low-life arsenal! We always help answer the question, What is the latest in cyberpunk gear?

What ever happened to the promise of mechanized street art???

2032 is fast approaching and not only have we not yet seen the quick, self-healing construction surfaces that destroy graffiti in a moment, but we have more importantly not yet seen the digital design-led, mechanized graffiti device that appeared in a particularly cheesed-up cyberpunk classic.

Thanks Dr.NO!

Before anyone hits us up for Demolition Man not being Cyberpunk we merely offer the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 felt compelled to honor this particular classic of the genre with a special reference within their game release. You know it, the three seashells are back!

In any case, we wondered… what the cluck man!?!? Forget the seashells where the heck is our mechanized street art tools?

We have, however, seen developments in terms of the government’s ability to remove, or at least potentially identify and prevent vandalism. As early as 2013, Chicago was working with CityScan on a project that offered a “high-tech, fully-automated code enforcement (that) could be a boon for city coffers!” In that instance, they claim they are after illicit billboards, however, we know graffiti isn’t far behind.

Fantastic news is that street art is alive and well and even available for hire, gotta love the Graffiti Kings. However, while we do appreciate the fact that many art distributors are also keeping the dream alive, ensuring that the traditional tools (with a few cool new updates) are available to those in the craft and for those interested, we found Jerry’s Artarama, it’s just not enough.

However, we did find hope! While it doesn’t have that real-world spray appeal, we know the try is alive as some have been working to create graffiti effects with Nintendo’s Wii! This project offers a new chance at wireless drawing using a Wiimote, a Wii Sensor Bar, and a large display!

Thanks David Pride

Plus, built with a raspberry pi, David Pride (the creator), is giving us a glimpse into the possibilities to come. We’re game!

As usual, we are not sponsored by any of these products, companies, or organizations. We just love to share the coolest gear out there to cyberize and self make our worlds!

As always, love to share, and keep it digital! Come back soon and to check out more in Cyber-Gear follow this link!

A Momentary Revisit with Medtronic

As a rule, we follow the technological advancements of corporate giants in tech health to help inform those of us individuals choosing to define for ourselves who we are and what we want to be. That means knowing the world and those tracking us, good, bad, and ugly.

Jumping Back A Bit

We’ll be back on track next week with the revolutionary team over at Health Catalyst (if you missed the start, don’t worry you can still check it out), but with a big move we couldn’t help but jump back and share some great information. This week Medtronic, a company that we spent a lot of time covering to start 2021 (Health Post / Wealth Post), has made a big breakout in their stock pattern. Great dividend, well diversified in health tech, and a strong price grower, Medtronic is definitely a company worth a watch from us techno-philes in Heath Tech!

Just check out that beautiful breakout! Pretty great stuff for those fueled by following great tech and building our own lives in Heath and Wealth each and every day!

See you next time on BCB Cyber!

🐮 for SALESFORCE (CRM)

Today is MegaCap Day!

Before we get there though, as always, our reminder: with BCB Cyber we dig for the cyber-fuel we need, we are always working to make sure the best of the best, those monster companies in Tech, form a key portion of our portfolios.

For all these mega-cap stocks, just like Investopedia, our core defining feature is that the market cap is over $200 Billion! As always though, we dig deeper still, looking for those companies that are pushed by incredible disruptive tech with a great story, not to mention having a solid base in the numbers.

Before we dive too deep though, we strongly advocate that we don’t act solely on anyone else’s opinion, not even ours! Make sure we are all thinking for ourselves as self-definers and making our own decisions. In the end, the responsibility is on each one of us as individuals. So decide wisely!

Jumping right in now, we are on top of the three biggest reasons Salesforce (CRM) is a Stock 🐮.

1. Growth in a Growing Market

Salesforce Company Info/Graphics from Salesforce Investor Relations blended with BCB Cyber Fuel for a whole new experience!

Salesforce, for a company with an over $200B revenue stream is still rocking massive growth. Don’t believe us, check out Yahoo! Finance on Salesforce Growth for yourself, but both this year and next year are pegged to be around 20% by analysts.

2. Solid, Cash-Money

Salesforce Company Info/Graphics from Yahoo! Finance blended with BCB Cyber Fuel for a whole new experience!

Salesforce is built to succeed. In a jacked-up financial climate, business is cutthroat and Salesforce is prepared to ride. A solid mound of cash that better than covers debt, and more on the way in… a recipe for success!

3. Next-Gen Decision Automation

Artificial Intelligence actually at work in the marketplace and having an impact is one thing. A proven model that is building efficiencies is another. That’s what Einstein is and what it does: make businesses better, smarter, and more prepared.

BCB Cyber believes this is a company with the AI built to be a business enhancer. The better part is, when you dig in deep, you’ll discover for yourself just what a complete solution Salesforce brings to its customers. However, this is definitely a stock worth buying at the right price and one that BCB Cyber believes to be the right fuel for the fire! We are not currently invested but would love to be and we are looking for the right entry.

As always, think for yourself, do your own homework, and cyberize your life with the best in disruptive tech. Learn more in our Wealth Section and dive deeper into Establishing the Baseline on BCB Cyber.com!
