Cheapest Dividend Contender By Forward P/E

My Favorite Dividend Contenders For March 2017

With a new month close at hand, it is time, once again, for me to lay out some of my stock considerations for the next several weeks of March. 

The point of these posts is to help take some of the guesswork out of where I plan to allocate my fresh capital going forward. By making my selections ahead of time, I find it easier to commit to buys, as all the homework and investment theses have already been completed on my end. 

All that's left to do is pull the "buy" trigger. These days, it seems easier said than done as the market - and many stocks I am considering - continue to march higher. I am finding it increasingly difficult to decide where I'd like to allocate my fresh capital. 

Rest assured, I will be making at least one buy in March, as I aim to stick to my own mantra of remaining consistent with my buys during all market conditions. 

I have no intentions of breaking my streak of making monthly buys. That being said, as I look at my portfolio, I am left with a handful of potential choices for the month of March.

Here are my favorite Dividend Contenders...

16 Long-Term Dividend Growers At Reasonable Prices

A very, very famous investor once said that he liked to buy excellent businesses at 'reasonable prices.' I like to think that I am of the same mindset. A strategy of mine is to look for such businesses with real competitive advantages, but ones that are dividend payers and dividend growers.

My watch list now includes a couple hundred stocks, all of which are dividend payers. Today I'd like to share a small list of those which I believe retail income investors can buy 'off the shelf' right now.

These are the results...

19 Dividend Contenders With The Highest Potential To Double Dividends

Dividend stocks can be the foundation of a great retirement portfolio. Not only do the payments put money in your pocket, which can help hedge against any dips in the stock market, but they're usually a sign of a financially sound company.

Dividends also give investors a painless opportunity to reinvest in a stock, thus compounding gains over time. However, not all income stocks live up to their full potential. 

Using the payout ratio -- i.e., the percentage of profits a company returns to its shareholders as dividends -- we can get a good bead on whether a company has room to increase its dividend. Ideally, we like to see healthy payout ratios less than 30%.

Attached you will find those Dividend Contenders with the highest possibility to raise dividends by more than 100% for the years to come.

Each of the stocks fulfilled the following criteria:

- Dividend Growth over 10 consecutive years and less than 25 years
- Payout Ratio under 30%
- Debt to Equity under 0.5
- EPS Growth for the next five years expected at 5% yearly.

19 stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which 12 got a buy or better rating by analysts.

Here are the best yielding results in detail...

15 Fairly Priced Growth Orientated Dividend Achievers

Investing in dividend stocks isn't the only way to make money in the stock market, but it's a pretty effective one.

Buying dividend stocks and holding them for long periods of time can be a great way to generate income from your portfolio or help build a position over years through dividend reinvestment.

For this to be effective, though, investors need to find stocks of quality companies that are going to crank out dividends at a decent rate quarter after quarter.

A solid ground to start your research is the dividend Achievers list. Those stocks managed to raise dividends each year for more than 10 years in a row.

In total, there are 333 stocks with such an impressive dividend growth history.

Today I want to select only those that might look really interesting in terms of price to growth. 

I selected those stocks with double-digit expected earnings per share growth while the forward P/E is still less than 15 and an acceptable debt burden weights on the balance sheet.

Only 15 stocks fulfilled these criteria. You find the full list at the end of this article.

Here are the top yielding stocks in detail...

20 Dividend Achievers Benjamin Graham Would Hunt

Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, liked bargains.

In The Intelligent Investor, he told investors to look for stock prices at or below 15-times earnings, and at or below 1.5-times book value.

I like to adjust this rule in order to limit the results from my screen.

Here are more restrictions of my screen:

- Dividend Achiever
- Forward P/E under 15
- P/B under 2
- 5 Year Future EPS Forecasted Growth Over 5% yearly
- Debt to equity under 0.5

Exactly 20 stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which 6 yield over 3%. 

Attached I've tried to compile a few stocks that might match these criteria within the Dividend Achievers space. You will also find the best yielding stocks from the screen as a detailed snapshot.

Banks and insurer are dominating the screening results.

Here are the results...

19 Modestly Valueated Dividend Stocks To Buy And Hold For The Next 20 Years

Though it's undeniably gratifying to watch any stock you own skyrocket in value over short periods of time, the best way to predictably generate wealth is to buy and hold shares of great companies over the long term.

And we're not talking periods of just weeks or months, but rather years or -- better yet -- decades. So attached I've tried to compile a dozen stocks that might be the ideal investment for the long term.

The basis for me was a strong established corporate structure with big brands which drive billions of dollars each year into the company without a low Capex desire.

Dividend Achievers often have such a big footprint in their industry and they become stronger with every recession over decades.

These are the criteria of my screen:

- Sales growth in the past five years positive
- Expected EPS growth for the next five years over 5 percent yearly
- Low forward P/E
- Debt to equity under 0.5

19 stocks fulfilled my above mentioned criteria of which four have a dividend yield over 3 percent. The screen is not focused on yield but more on financial stability and future growth. Pick the right growth stock and you could get rich. Remember McDonalds in the 80ies. What a wonderful investment.

Here are some of my ideas you might get for an attractive price...

19 Dividend Achievers With Strong Fundamentals, Solid Growth And Cheap Price Ratios

Investors looking for income usually go for dividends instead on betting on stocks that offer capital gains for wealth creation. 

Dividend-paying stocks also provide a cushion against equity market volatility. With Wall Street swinging between bull and bear markets, there are chances of high volatility in the near future. 

While a series of mergers and acquisitions gave a boost to the technology market, the unknown impact of the interest rate hike, an aging bull market, the strengthening dollar, lower oil prices and global growth concerns like the Greece crisis and the slowdown in China, are testing investors’ patience.

This instability has compelled many to play safe and depend on dividend-paying stocks for steady returns. After all, such stocks have been the proven outperformers over the long term and are relatively safer bets. 

Usually, an investor’s risk tolerance is a major factor that determines how the portfolio is organized. However, it is prudent to have a mix of both growth and dividend-yielding stocks. 

Also, while some companies may offer a special dividend to distribute a windfall, it is advisable to choose a consistent performer with strong fundamentals.

Attached you will find a couple of stocks with such strong fundamentals. I restricted my research on long-term dividend growth stocks in order to keep the quality high.

These are my screening criteria in detail:

- Dividend Growth Over 10 Consecutive Years
- Positive Past Sales Growth
- Expected Mid-Term Earnings Growth Over 5%
- Debt To Equity Under 0.5
- Low Forward P/E Under 15

19 stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which four yields over 3 percent. 

Here are the results...

18 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks To Consider Now

Growth at a reasonable price is an investing strategy that blends value and growth investing.

Instead of just buying a stock that’s cheap, or one that’s growing earnings fast, we look for stocks that appear decently priced with respect to year-over-year growth.

For example, a company growing 15% annually with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15 or less would be considered cheap by growth at reasonable price standards.

Attached you will find a compilation of dividend growth stocks that which I have screened by growth at reasonable price standards.

I only screened stocks with a 10 year plus dividend growth at 10% earnings growth and less than 15 P/E multiple.

In order to avoid debt overloaded stocks, I decided to select only those stocks with a debt to equity under 1.

18 stocks remain. Attached you will find the results compiled in a list with important fundamentals.

Here are the best yielding results in detail...
