Atchison Preferred and Southern Question
Investor column advises Atchison preferred as a high grade railroad investment at 100 per share yielding 5 percent. It notes strong earnings supporting the dividend and about 190 million in common stock market value. Southern Pacific is akin to Atchison common stock, pays 6 percent dividends, with earnings 1.5 to 2 times the dividend. Potentially tax on earnings from new convertible bonds and Union Pacific treasury stock could weigh on price. Under normal conditions SP could maintain its 6 percent dividend.
