I believe that it makes sense to observe the market by
good valuated long-term growth stocks. For sure many of the results are lucky strikes,
companies that have had an extraordinary good financial strength and growth due
to a fantastic business environment. But the developments are not sustainable.
But sometimes there are new ideas on my list like Herbalife
or recently the weapon maker Sturm & Ruger. Those were corporate stocks in special
situations.
The best dividend paying stock list is a small compilation
with seven tough investing criteria, summarized below. The list includes each
month around 20 to 30 results. It’s a quick dividend list (from low-yield to
high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation
figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization
of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates.
The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones,
S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria
and sorted by dividend yield.
My Criteria to find the best dividend stock
Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100
28 companies are part of the best dividend paying
stock list for October 2013. The top pick is still Southern Copper, a commodity
based stock with a double-digit dividend yield. 8 additional stocks have a
dividend yield over 5 percent and fourteen got a buy or better rating by brokerage
firms.
