Today I've attached a list of the
yields from the Dividend Aristocrats for you. You can also find the payout
ratios in this table. It's very informative in my view and I use this overview
too in order to get a feeling about the pricing of the market.
Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that have increased dividend payments over a period of
25 consecutive years without a break. That's a top value and around 100+companies could achieve this goal.
Standard &
Poor's increases the restrictions and cut the list to 42 members. Well not all
stocks are good from the list but you can find there some value player. Just take a look!
Only 12 companies yield over 3 percent. Not bad for a low interest environment. The bond market offers 1.56 percent and has also default risks.
The top yielding stocks also slow grower full of debt. Which stock do you like or own from the list? Let me know your thoughts and write a comment. Thank you.
These are my main thoughts to the Dividend Aristocrats list:
- When we look at the highest yielding stocks with yields over 3 percent, we see that only 3 companies have a low forward P/E.
- Stocks with a lower yield are much cheaper. 9 companies with yields less than 2 percent have a forward P/E under 15.
- Low yielding stocks pay out less of it's annual earnings and might be reinvest more money into growth.
