Dividend Dogs With Fat Yields Over 10%

Dividend Dogs As Of July 2016

17 High Yields With Additional Potential To Grow Dividends

High yielding stocks with low payout and debt ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Yesterday, I made a screen of Dividend Contenders with low long-term debt to equity ratios as well as slim payouts.

Today I like to widen the latest screen to High-Yields with a market capitalization over USD 300 million. Most of the high yielding stocks are full of debt. The only companies with a smaller amount of loans are such with a lower capitalization. The risks are much higher for those shares. I also needed to lower my screening guidance because of the small amount of results. These are my new criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 300 million
- Dividend Yield over 5 percent
- Long-term debt to equity above 0.6
- Payout ratio under 50 percent

Now, twelve stocks fulfill these criteria. Six of the results have a current buy or better rating.

10 Top High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Make Your Portfolio More Attractive


Dividend investing has become very popular in today’s world. It often takes place when investors choose stocks to gain the promised dividends from the companies underlying the stocks. Investors start dividend investing because it allows them a source of income even at the time when the stock market is struggling.

20 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Highest Buy Ratings

Most recommended stocks with very high yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love stocks with high dividend yields but there are only a few with sustainable payments. I think about Altria or Lorillard. Other stocks have a huge potential for a dividend cut, also if they are a Dividend Champion or a stock with a very long dividend growth history. I made this investment mistake with Avon Products. The company was highly leveraged and became some operations problems. Finally they reduced the dividend dramatically.

Most of the people need stocks with very high yields. I don’t because my private wealth is high enough to catch the dividend payments and live off it. In the past, I often thought it would be the only solution to put all my money into the highest yielding stocks with the most attractive fundamentals. This strategy failed and I lost much money within the closed-end shipping industry. That was a big mistake from which I learned and I like to share this with you.


Please don’t put all your money into one stock or make a single bet on a high-yield stock. This is very risky. That’s all I can say. Make a good research and try to avoid an overweighting of a stock or asset theme.


Each month, I made a regular screen about the stocks with the highest dividend yields because I believe there is a lot of value information in it for my readers. This month, I like to show you the 20 most recommended stocks with a double-digit dividend yield and a higher market capitalization (over USD 300 million). Out there are 95 companies with a very high yield but only 35 have a buy or better recommendation. The REIT industry is still a big player on my screen with 6 representatives.
