Dividend Aristocrats with low P/E’s and buying
recommendations originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. We all love a growing
dividend and one of the most popular indices that cover the best dividend
growth stocks is the S&P
500 Dividend Aristocrats index.
The index has currently 54 constituents. My goal
in this article is to show you the currently cheapest stocks from the Dividend Aristocrats
Index with current buy or better ratings.
I know, it’s a little bit easy to trust others
work but the high-quality dividend stocks are already discovered. The only
thing we must do is to screen the current valuations and market opinions.
Only twelve stocks fulfilled both, a forward P/E
below 15 combined with a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. Half of the
results have a projected double-digit mid-term earnings growth forecast.
I really like Dividend Aristocrats but because
of the highly predictable business model and well known asset class, most of
them are no longer cheap. Only eighteen stocks have an expected P/E under 15!
That’s only one third of the full database and only around 20 percent of all Aristocrats
are recommended to buy.
Here are the best yielding Dividend Aristocrats:
