A PEG-value over one indicates that the stock could be overpaid. Today I would like to generate some fresh stock ideas by screening the market by attractively valuated dividend stocks that have raised dividends for at least one time.
These are my criteria in detail:
- Market cap is greater than USD 100 million
- Dividend
yield is above 3%
- At least
one dividend hike
- Total
debt to equity is under 1
- 12Trailing
P/E is less than 15
- Forward
P/E is less than 15
- PEG ratio
is less than 1
Only five stocks fulfilled these tighten criteria of which two are High-Yields. All results are currently recommended by brokerage firms.
The top 5 results are....
