13 Cheap Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 3% And A Predictable Business

Cheaply valuated stocks with a predictable business and yields over 3% originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. It’s important not to overpay a stock. The first rule you need to follow is to pay acceptable prices for a growing business that is somehow calculable. I talk about a business model with nearly stable sales that grow over the long-run.

On my blog, I present often such companies with a low volatile business and good yields. Today I would like to use the gurufocus screener about predictable companies.

The screener gave me the opportunity to look for new, customized stock ideas which I would like to share with you here now. Below is a list of the best yielding cheaply valuated stocks with yields over 3 percent as well as a forward P/E under 15.

Eighteen stocks with a better than 4-Star gurufocus rating fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Three of the results have a high yield and four are currently recommended to buy or even better.

Here are the biggest results from the screen:
