19 Foreign Stocks With Cheap Valuation And Good Yields

Top yielding foreign stocks with cheap price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Not only stocks from the United States are more expensive. Stock market all over the world rise to new highs but there are still some attractive opportunities.

Today I like to look at foreign dividend stocks. Europe could be a big source for cheap stocks because of the Euro crises. Sure they got a tough fight but if you believe that the 17 nation currency community will survive, you will definitely find some utilities or telecoms.

These are my stock screening criteria:

Headquarter: Ex-USA

Market Capitalization: Over 10 billion

Dividend Yield: +3 percent

Beta Ratio: Below 1

Forward P/E: Under 15

Nineteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which seven are High-Yields. Five of the results have a buy or better recommendation. The valuation is between 6 and 15 of the expected full year earnings.

The Cheapest Basic Material Dividend Stocks | 20 Low Priced Raw Material Shares

Basic material dividend stocks with low forward P/E’s originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Yesterday I read an interesting article about the valuation of the market. We got a gaining momentum. This year alone, the market rose around 15 percent and nobody scares this. The analysts from Bloomberg attempted to compare the situation with the second half of the 90ies where stocks started to boost until they burst. Historically we named this burst the technology bubble 2000.

The analyst wrote that the current valuation is still 28 below the mid 90ies. The market is not cheap but not expensive. Other investors talk about a reasonable pricing. They trust the market environment and the FED stimulus and they pay finally the high price.

I’m a long-term growth investor and I’ve also realized that most of the high-quality stocks are too expensive to get a good return. With P/E’s of 20 you will definitely make no greater return. Sure, it could be possible that your investment got a 30 P/E in five years or so but that’s not investing, it’s speculation.

As you might have seen, I started more screens with cheap price ratios as variables. I still try to seek the cheapest opportunities from the market, but there are only a dozen from each sector. Today I like to discover some ideas from the basic material sector. I’m focused on large caps in my screen.

Basic material stocks are still very cheap. The 20 stocks with lowest valuation can be purchased for a multiple between 4 and 9 of expected earnings. That’s very low compared to my other screens. But you should also know that valuation is a question of belief – Do you trust the earnings forecasts?

20 Basic Material Dividend Stocks With Top Yields And Low Volatility

Basic material dividend stocks with low betas and large market capitalization originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". When I buy stocks I ever take a look at the risk fundamentals of a company. Beside the market capitalization, the beta ratio is a meaningful ratio. The ratio shows investors how volatile a stock is compared to the overall market. A beta value of 1.2 means: The stock has a 20 percent higher volatility than the market. I use this tool to identify the underlying risks of a business model. For sure, it’s not perfect but a good first step to evaluate the risk situation.

Today I like to run my screen for the safest basic material stocks. These are my criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Beta ratio below 1

Linked are the 20 best yielding stocks. 14 of them have a current buy or better recommendation and five are high-yields. Oil and gas companies are the dominating category.
