Earlier this year, I've noticed that insurance stocks are great cash flow producer and some of them have a really low dividend payout ratio. They invest a huge amount of money to buy back own shares and they are really cheap valuated.
Warren Buffet
likes insurer but he prefers today stocks from the cable business. I also see
that those companies have a very attractive Price-to-Ebitda ratio.
However, I bought
two German insurers last Friday. They yield over 3 percent and I like to
increase my positions over the next time if they become cheaper.
The American stock
market also has great insurer to look at. Aflac and Travelers are my two
favorites followed by Chubb Corp. Those are also long-term dividend grower and
part of David Fish's CCC List.
Below I've
highlighted a few large cap insurer from the accident & health insurance
industry as well as stocks from the property & casualty insurance industry.
In addition, I've added large caps from the health care plans industry. From
there came only one stock, the United Health
Group.
All of the
selected stocks have raised dividends by more than five consecutive years. Just
dare a glace at my thoughts. I know that those stocks are not very popular but
they are very attractive in terms of price for cash.
