Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of September 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Cheap stocks, bargains or undervalued companies can promise you good returns if you believe that they receive a better valuation within the next months or years. It’s very difficult to discover those stocks because of the hundreds of thousands technical and fundamental measures.

I often used my static ratios like earnings multiples or book ratios to identify cheaply valuated stocks. Today I like to change my recent criteria about cheapest dividend paying large caps a little bit. I tighten the restriction Price-To-Sales to a value of less than one and look at forward P/E’s. In the past, I’ve looked at current earnings multiples.

These are the criteria for my cheapest dividend paying large cap screen:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next five years

- Forward P/E ratio under 15

- P/S under 1 and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

The number of my results rose. Eighteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which one pays a high yield of more than five percent. Nearly all, fourteen in total, got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with highest beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I am a conservative investor and try to minimize my risk.

This strategy is necessary if you have a larger amount of money to take care of or you begin to cry when you lose 10 percent on your book value. The second disadvantage is that you lose performance in a strong up moving market. 

Since 2009, there were nearly no bigger corrections at the market but with low beta and safe haven stocks, your performance would be only half of the return from the markets. What you need to get a push for your portfolio is a high beta stock. I don’t recommend buying them because it’s a definitely riskier strategy and nobody knows when the market turns into a bearish mood.

However, let’s take a look at the high fly momentum stocks from the healthcare sector. Those are stocks with the highest beta ratio from the sector. They have a beta between 1 and 2. With focus on the dividend paying stocks, only 17 stocks from the healthcare sector pay a dividend and being correlated with the market by a factor of up to 2.

One High-Yield is below the results and 16 have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

20 Cheapest Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Wow, the stock market rises from month to month. The negative thing is that stock prices rise faster than the earnings and stocks getting therefore more expensive.

Health care plans companies are currently the cheapest choice in the list. Two High-Yields are part of the results and fifteen companies are recommended to buy.

13 Dividend Growth Potentials With Really Cheap Price Ratios

Stocks with dividend growth potential and cheap price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I often publish sheets and lists of dividend growth stocks. Mostly I use Dividend Champions, Achievers or Contender lists. All stocks from the lists have a consecutive dividend growth of more than 10 years.

I ever try to discover the best stocks with the most attractive fundamentals in order to get the best results. But these lists have one big failure: They include also stocks with high debt and low growth. Not enough some of them pay a dividend which is bigger than the earnings per share of the recent quarters.

Those companies are on the edge to cut the dividend payments. If they do so, they would be kicked off the lists and you sit on a low yielding stock and wait for a recovery which could costs you 5 or 10 years to realize a positive return.

I am a dividend growth investor and made most of my money with dividend growth stocks. But if I am honest, the biggest returns I made were with stocks at a lower yield and higher growth. That’s the reason why I always look for stocks with not a perfect dividend growth history but a more attractive debt and growth situation.

Today I like to highlight some dividend potentials, stocks with potential to boost dividends over the next five years or so. My list includes 110 companies and I show you the cheapest stocks measured by a forward P/E ratio of less than 10.

Thirteen companies have such a low P/E ratio of which twelve are currently recommended to buy. This alone shows the quality of my screen compared to the Dividend Champions lists.
