16 Large Caps With Skyrocket Dividends

14 Technology Dividend Stocks With Huge Potential To Pay Much Higher Dividends

Technology dividend stocks with low payout ratios and debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to go forward with my article serial about low leveraged stocks from several sectors with currently small dividend payouts.

My criteria are still a low dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent as well as a debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5. In order to get only higher capitalized stocks, I decided to choose only those companies with a market cap of more than USD 2 billion.

Fourteen shares fulfilled these criteria of which eleven got a buy or better rating.

8 Industrial Dividend Stocks, Safer Than The Overall Market

Industrial dividend stocks with low beta ratios and large market capitalization originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". A diversified portfolio is the basis for a strong stability. The more industries and sectors you cover, the lower the single risk you own. This insurance costs performance because nobody could know in detail which sectors will run good over the next years and which are the big loser.

Today I like to go forward with my monthly screen of the safest stocks from the major sectors. Industrials are in focus of my research. These are my criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Beta ratio below 1

Only eight companies fulfilled these criteria of which five have a current buy or better rating. The number of stocks is very low. It could be related to the fact that the sector has only 360 companies listed and industrials are more cyclic.

17 Industrial Dividend Stocks With The Strongest Expected Earnings Growth

Industrial dividend stocks with the highest sector growth rates, originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The industrial sector has a total market capitalization of USD 73.1 trillion. The average P/E is 17.19 and yields are at a 2.02 percent rate.

Industrials and conglomerates are one of the top sectors where investors put their money within the recent months. The whole sector is up 12.8 percent on a 3-month basis and 16.6 percent over the recent half-year.

I personally believe that most of the stocks are cyclic and their performance depends on a healthy economic growth. But not everything is bad. I personally own some industrials and like to increase my exposure the sector. The only question is when. 

In 2009, I bought shares of General Electric when they started to struggle with financing problems of their money division. It was close to the after-peak of the financial crisis. As of now, GE has not fully recovered but my unrealized return on the stock is far over 100 percent.

Growth perspectives from GE are still good. The market expects a double-digit growth for the next years. Today, I like to show you some other dividend stocks from the industrial sector with an expected earnings growth over 10 percent. Below is a small list of the best yielding stocks with a market capitalization over USD 10 billion. 14 of the results are currently recommended to buy.

20 Most Recommended Industrial Dividend Stocks | Top Stock Buy List

Industrial goods stocks with highest buy rating originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Today I like to finalize my January posts of the highest recommended stocks from the eight most important sectors of the economy. Industrial goods are the latest sector to discover.

The industrial sector is a small one with 359 related companies and only 172 of them are dividend stocks. The average dividend yield amounts to 2.01 and the P/E ratio has a value of 24.59 in average.

I personally have only a small share of industrial stocks in my private portfolios. The main reason is that the sector has many cyclic companies and stocks from the sector are often very capital intensive. They need huge amounts of money to keep the business running and growing. As a result, dividend payments are low.

But there are also some great growth stories. I own shares of United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. My biggest position is General Electric on which I have 104% unrealized gains. Not enough, I have around 10 -20 additional stocks on my watch list.

Below is a small compilation of the 20 highest recommended dividend stocks with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. What do you think about the list of the most recommended industrial goods dividend stocks? Do you own some of them? Please let me know and leave a comment in the box below.

The Best Trading Ideas | 19 Dividend Stocks at All-Time-Highs

Do you know the feeling of false bets? Yes, you read right, false bets. If you buy a stock or you just shorted it, it’s a similar bet on the future. Sometimes those bets could walk into the false direction. In my blog “long-term-investments.blogspot.com” I present on a regular basis the stocks at new 52-Week Highs or even better, stocks at all time highs. I believe that it makes sense in any way to know what stocks are the hottest gainers on the market.

Recently, 35 companies realized price marks they have never seen before. 19 of them pay dividends. All-Time Highs are very good signals showing the strong investor confidence in the stock and indicating a well- running business.

At the first view of list, I have some favorites. I like the leading classes company Luxottica Group. Analysts predict for the stock a double-digit growth for the mid-term (next five years). Below the results are two high-yields, the other stocks having a low yield. Eleven stocks are currently recommended to buy.
