Nobody of us has a
crystal-ball and no one can predict the future.
The second problem
is that there are companies that must invest massively into the business model
in order to boost growth or to replace old machines or buildings.
Investors often
calculate with free cash flows. Those are the real income of the company, available
for dividends, buybacks or mergers and acquisitions.
Today I like to
introduce the cheapest Dividend Achievers with a low price to free cash flow of
less than 15.
16 companies
fulfilled my criteria of which four have a dividend yield over 3 percent. The
most of the results come from the property and casualty insurance industry.
Insurer generates massive cash but
they have also big problems with decreasing premiums and increasing
competition. There are always good reasons why some companies are cheap.
You may also like my article about the best dividend stocks from the title insurance industry. I still prefer, like Warren Buffett, the fastest growing companies from the insurance sector. Those are ACE, UNH and TRV.
