The Most Important Buyback Champions On The Market
Over the past few years, I've been conducting quarterly reviews of companies that are aggressive repurchasers of their own stock.
I've tended to focus on companies that announced a share repurchase plan that represents at least 5% of shares outstanding. Anything smaller may not have much of an impact on earnings per share ( EPS ).
Yet in recent months, we have broadened our measure of corporate generosity to focus not just on buybacks but also dividends and debt reductions.
Below you'll find a group of companies that meet the criteria, based on share buyback announcements during the current earnings season.

Best Dividend Stocks To Buy For 2017
Over the past century, they’ve accounted for roughly half of total returns earned by stock investors. And if stock returns flatten out over the next few years, as many economists anticipate, dividends will matter even more in driving growth for investors.
But these days, it’s unusually difficult to find dividend-paying stocks that look like good buys.
Stock valuations in the category are lofty after years of outperforming the broader market. The forward price/earnings ratio of the top 25% of S&P 500 stocks by dividend yield is 17, vs. a 36-year average of 12.
And the dividends themselves can seem relatively stingy: The number of companies increasing their dividend has been shrinking, and the number of decreases is accelerating. And there’s also the danger that if interest rates rise, as is expected, investors could flee the sector and send stocks careening downward.
With those in mind, we asked ourself what could be the best investment ideas for 2017. Here are 11 stocks where the experts see opportunity and safety.
These are the results...
20 Best Stocks to Hold for the Long-Term
Below is a list of the 20 top dividend payers.
That's not to say you should then sell them in 2018, it's to say that Morgan Stanley believes these companies are poised to perform well over the next three years.

10 Most Popular Dividend Stocks Bought By Investment Gurus
Recently I published an article
about Warren Buffett's latest dividend stock buys and sells of the recent
quarter.
I'm ever surprised
about his new investment. He bought Deere, a great company with high market
share in the farmer’s equipment segment, while I was selling it due to high
debt loads and operational headwinds.
You also may like my article about 10 stocks with the highest Share Buyback Program on the market.
Today I like to
show you what the other super investors like George Soros, David Tepper, Bill
Ackman, Bruce Berkowitz or others bought during the latest quarter. Each of the attached stocks were bought at least four times by one of the 60+ superinvestors.
It's a clear
signal. They put money into the oil services industry. Drilling and exploration
companies- Those are suffering mostly from the low oil price. Is it an
anti-cyclic bet? What do you think; please share your thoughts by leaving a
small comment.
These are my main favorites from the list....
18 Cheap And Perfect Dividend Stocks To Consider
I personally
believe that those companies offer true values for normal do-it-yourself
investors like you and me.
The great risk is
always that the company is leaving its growth path and cannot hike dividends in
the future.
Today I try finding
a perfect stock. It is a cheaply valuated company with solid debt and growth
perspectives. In addition the corporate should generate a double-digit return
on investment.
16 stocks
fulfilled my criteria. I've selected only companies with a large market cap. I
love bigger capitalized companies because they are often more secure than small
and midcaps. Safety is a key element in my investment philosophy.
Attached is the
list of my 16 results. Most of them are low yielders but in times of low
interest rates, it is no shame to own stocks with a yield below 3
percent.
What is your perfect
stock? Please leave a comment at the end of this article. I hope you have
enjoyed reading my stuff and keep following my news by subscribing. Thank you
so much.

results from the list:
100 Most Bought Stocks By Investment Gurus
100 most bought stocks by investment professionals originally published
on Dividend Yield – Stock,
Capital, Investment. I love it to see how the big investors act on the market. Some of them
have a really interesting and creative investing strategy which works only with
huge amounts of capital.
Some hedge funds play with money and try to boost its return by ignoring
a good diversification. But if they know the business and management team the risk
might be lower as for desk research investors like us.
However, each month I publish a little list about the largest stock buys
from 49 super investors. I analyze how often a stock was bought over the recent
six months and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list. All super gurus
combined bought 655 stocks within the recent half year.
In my view, it’s a good tool to look at the activities of guru investors
in the market because they have big money in their pockets and if they invest
combined, they could change the market very easily.
Their attitude to stocks is also lightning the way to return, not always
but sometimes because the media notices the portfolio changes of the hedge fund
managers and create additional publicity.
Technology is still the place to be for the investment guru’s. I think that
they have noticed the huge cash reserves of Apple and the other stocks. Not enough,
most of them are very profitable and grow further despite they don’t have new technologies
developed.

The ex dividend date is the
final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If
you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend
date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher
capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.
In total, 18 stocks go ex dividend
- of which 4 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 2.21%.

13 Cheap High Beta Basic Material Dividend Stocks
The whole sector is down 3.1 percent over the recent six months while the best sector gained 17.9 percent during the same period. So many stocks can be bought for a single P/E within the sector but the risk is still high.
Today I would like to proceed my monthly screening serial about high beta dividend stocks. The basic material sector has a huge base of stock ideas on this field. In order to get the best results, I need to increase my limitations like this:
- Market capitalization over USD 10 billion
- Forward P/E below 15
- 5Y future earnings per share growth over 15 percent yearly
- Beta ratio over 1
Thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which one is a High-Yield. All results have a current buy or better rating.
