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. I will discover some of the greatest low leveraged
technology stocks on the market with also low dividend payout ratios. 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.
