20 Highest Yielding Asian ADR's

The search for yield is increasingly difficult, with interest rates around the world now close to record lows. This could push investors toward Asian high dividend stocks.

I recently started looking more closely at Asian ADRs I know well. Many names have come up enough, or have increased their dividend payout enough, that they may now be attractive to US investors looking for yield. 

These yields are, in most cases, a bit lower than what one would find in the US. However, I think they possess some advantages from which an investor looking for a high-yield portfolio of securities might benefit.

Investors should still remain selective in the Asian high dividend space, focusing on those with stable cash flow and a track record of sustainable dividends. Within traditional Asian high dividend sectors, I like Singapore and Hong Kong real estate investment trusts, and select telecom stocks.

Attached you will find a selection of the highest yielding, higher capitalized Asian dividend stocks, listed as a ADR.

15 High Yielding Cheap Stocks By Price To Free Cashfow

It's no secret that dividend-yielding stocks are the cornerstones of a solid retirement portfolio. Usually, such stocks represent ownership in stalwart businesses that pay shareholders on a quarterly basis. 

Those payments not only offer downside protection, but they can also compound returns over time. Still, one of the dangers of dividend investing is chasing after high yields. 

Case in point: The 10 stocks listed below have the highest yields of all the companies in the S&P 500, but not all of them are worth your investing dollars. In many cases, there's a good reason such stocks have high yields -- because there's a lot of risk involved. If you're a dividend investor, there's nothing more important than free cash flow (FCF). 

This represents the amount of money a company was able to put in its pocket at the end of the year, minus capital expenditures. It is from FCF that dividends are paid, and investors should generally aim for companies that use less than 85% of their FCF to pay dividends. 

Attached you will find a couple of stocks with a low price multiple in relation to its free cash flow. Each of the listed stocks has a dividend yield over 4 percent, a market capitalization over 2 billion and a debt-to-equity ratio below 1.

9 Low Debt Stocks With Yields Over 3% And Double-Digit Earnings Growth

As a forward looking investor, I'll take a deeper look into the fundamentals of a company. 

If I see that there are solid debt ratios and modest growth at high margins, then I should take a second look at the valuation of the company.

If I also get a high initial yield, it could be a perfect income stock for my passive income portfolio. That's the ideal theory. 

The truth is that each stock can develop into another direction which is not of benefit for you.

But we don't want to assume this case and look at the normal way.

Today I would like to introduce those stocks with double-digit earnings growth forecast for the next five years that offer a fantastic 3% plus dividend yield for your portfolio.

I've selected only stocks with a debt-to-equity ratio below one and return on assets over 5 percent. In addition, each of the attached stocks has a low forward P/E of less than 15.

Exactly nine companies fulfilled these tight criteria of which three are high-yields.

My Top Stocks From The International Dividend Achievers Index

Why Dividends Matter? Companies that pay regular dividends tend to be in better financial health and produce sustained earnings and revenue growth. 

Dividends help identify well-managed companies; every dividend declaration represents a promise by management and a vote of confidence by the board of directors in the company's leadership. 

Companies that consistently raise their dividend payouts also raise the bar on their own performance expectations. 

Shares of dividend-paying companies possess built-in value that makes them generally more resilient in down markets, with solid appreciation potential during earnings-driven market upturns — with less price volatility.

That's the theory. In real, there are several indices you can follow in order to discover the best dividend paying stocks.

Very poplular are Dividend Aristocrats and the CCC Lists. But those have in common that they are focussed on national domiciled stocks.

For sure, on an international basis, the number of stocks with a long dividend growth history is very limited. That's the reason why we need to turn down the classic rules of Dividend Growth.

Today I screened the lists of International Dividend Achievers, stocks with more than 5 consecutive years of dividend growth by companies with good looking fundamentals and growth perspectives.

Attached you will find 17 of my top results. The list contains 6 stocks with a yield over 4 percent.

20 Cheap Foreign Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4% And Solid Growth And Debt Fundamentals

Many individual investors count on dividend payments they receive for buying shares in certain companies. But with the S&P 500 Index yielding an average of only 2.1%, it is important income investors consider global stocks to maximize their total return.

Income-oriented investors, who focus only or primarily on the United States, are limiting themselves to one of the least dividend-rich stock markets to gain a secure income. This is not bad but abroad is also nice yields available which become higher when the dollar is falling one day. I believe that this will happen one day. 

Attached, I've put a few high-quality dividend paying stocks from abroad that are listed in the United States. As of today, there are 886 foreign companies listed of which 398 pay a dividend. I cannot list of them here so I need to make a difference between them. I decided to list only stocks with a 2 billion+ market cap and a low forward P/E, expected earnings growth over 5% and solid debt ratios. 

These stocks jumped into my eyes...

17 Fast Growing Dividend Stocks With An Unbelievable Momentum

Growth investors are looking for the next big thing that rules the market. They scout for stocks with enormous growth with hopes to pay later big dividends on a small investment when they have grown out.

Growth is wonderful and if I'm honest, I like stocks like Apple or Facebook too. Regretless, they are not only unicorns, more often prices are skyrocket; more likely in the case of Salesforce or Amazon than for Apple.

Today I've tried to compile a list of the fastest growing dividend stocks with unbelievable high growth rates, stocking not at a rate of more than 10 percent for the latest quarter over quarter reports.

I've selected only those stocks with a very large market capitalization of more than 10 billion in order to keep the big risk off the table.

As a result, 17 stocks joined my finishing list. Four of them have a yield over 2 percent, which is very comfortable in times of low interest rates.

Please let me know your thoughts about the winning list. Do you like some of the stocks?

15 Higher Capitalized Dividend Stocks Close To New 52-Week Lows

New Breakout Stocks By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Sometimes it makes sense to observe stocks with an ongoing sell-off. The background is to find stocks with a possible turnaround story and to bet on a strong bull race. Oversold stocks are often traded at new lows but they could recover in a fast way. If the company pays stable dividends, it should increase the expected total return for an investor. However, here is a current screen of high-yield stocks that are close to their 52-Week Lows (up to 3 percent). In order to eliminate stocks with higher risk, I screened only companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. As a result, 15 stocks are near to their 52-Week Lows of which six have a yield over three percent and eleven are recommended to buy.

11 Higher Capitalized Dividend Stocks For Less Than $5

Large- And Midcapitalized Stocks Under USD 5 Dollar Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. It is a very stupid asset strategy to buy stocks with a low stock price. Somehow, many people believe that a lower price should allow them to buy more shares and increase the leverage of their investment. In times of margin trading, options, obligations, derivatives and CFD’s, there should be a smarter way to increase your investment leverage.

In order to proof what kind of stocks are available for less than USD 5 Dollar which are not garbage, I made a screen of stocks with a stock price under USD 5 with a positive dividend yield and a market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion. Eleven companies remained of which three have a double-digit yield and additional three have high yields. Five are at least recommended to buy.
