Low leveraged stocks from the S&P 500 Low
Volatility High Dividend index originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love high
yielding stocks but most of them have a high debt burden or they grow too slow
or they are not really diversified for my approach.
Every investor wants to make profits on the
stock market and he tries to minimize the risk of a stock loss. An index that
covers stocks with a low volatility and great dividends is the S&P 500 Low
Volatility High Dividend index. The index is designed to serve as a benchmark
for income-seeking investors in the U.S. equity market. 50 constituents are
part of the index.
Today I like to show you which of the index
members have the lowest debt ratios. I observe only stocks with a debt to
equity ratio of less than 0.5. Only 14 companies fulfilled these criteria of
which eight are currently recommended to buy. Drug stocks and major integrated oil
and gas companies are the biggest groups of the results.
Here are the highest yielding stocks from the screen:
