19 Dividend Achievers Below Book Value

In a rising stock market, all eyes are on the income statement. But in a flat or falling market, the balance sheet moves into the spotlight. Investors want to know the real core accounted values of the company. 

If you look at the book value per share, you can easily identify stocks that are traded below their accounted assets.

If a company’s P/B ratio is less than one, the shares are selling for less than the value of the company’s assets.

What Is Book Value?

Book value is a measure of all of a company's assets: stocks, bonds, inventory, manufacturing equipment, real estate, etc. In theory, book value should include everything down to the pencils and staples used by employees, but for simplicity's sake companies generally only include large assets that are easily quantified.

Today I’ve screened my Dividend Achievers list by stocks with a current P/B ratio below one. 19 stocks matched exactly my criteria. The attached list shows all of them, sorted by the lowest ratio to the highest.

Here are the highest yielding results in detail…

Here Is How Commodities Performed Over The Past 10 Years

Don't worry about the big decrease of the commodity prices. The main reason in my view is that the world economy is slowing down while commodity producer have spend billions of money to wide their production. They searched and explored new mines and increased their output.

As a result we see a massive price decline. But if you believe in long-term growth, you should know the cyclic of the commodity sector.

Here you can see the price fluctuations of the past decade...

Which Stocks To Buy In Market Corrections - 40 Best Dividend Growth Ideas Now!

When the market falls, it tends to drag everything down -- good or bad companies. I think that companies that have increased their dividends by 10% or higher in the last 10-years should be considered good companies. 

One way to combat the market downturn is to buy high growth dividend-growth companies that are fairly valued or undervalued. 

These companies are expected to grow earnings per share at a rate higher than 5% in the foreseeable future and have a history of increasing dividends with payout ratios of less than 60%. 

In addition, I like to invest into low leveraged companies. If rates rise or money is needed for investments, the company doesn’t need to raise capital. It's also a hedge for rising dividends.

I also look for stocks with a midcap market valuation or higher. I love the diversification and developed status of those companies.

63 stocks fulfilled my criteria. I like to show you only the 20 best yielding. Half of them have a beta higher than the market. They seem to be more risky.

For safe heaven investors, I also attached a list of the 20 best yielding stocks with a beta below one. Hope you have some fun by discovering the lists. If you like my work, please subscribe to my free newsletter by leaving your email in the right box above. Thank you for reading.

19 Cheap Stocks With A Free Cashflow Yield Over 6.67%

Everyone needs cheap stocks for a solid return. But what cheap really means depends on your growth expectations.

I tell you that earnings are not equal to free cash flow. Some companies need much money to grow or they put large amounts of cash into the business to keep them alive due to high amortizations.

If you look for cheap stocks, you also need to cheap price to free cash flow ratios.

Today I would like to introduce a few dozen or and a few more stocks with a cheap price to free cash flow ratio (less than 15). A ratio under 15 indicates that the potential payout yield is over 6.67%.

In addition, I've only listed those stocks with a positive earnings growth outlook for the next five years. That's in my view a method to filter only well-running business.

Despite the tight criteria, the screen also produced some struggling companies like BHP or Rio Tinto. I like them for sure but I do believe that they are not worth investing while the commodity price still low or at multi-year lows.

Here are the results from my screen...

20 Oversold Dividend Growth Stocks With Cheap P/E's And Yields Over 3%

The markets become more and more volatile. It's a real rollercoaster. One day, the Dow is up 300 points, the second day down 400. No one knows where is the trend. Short-Term it's decreasing.

A technical momentum indicator that compares the magnitude of recent gains to recent losses in an attempt to determine overbought and oversold conditions of an asset is the Relative Strength Index - RSI.

The RSI ranges from 0 to 100. An asset is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70 level, meaning that it may be getting overvalued and is a good candidate for a pullback. Likewise, if the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the asset may be getting oversold and therefore likely to become undervalued.

Today I would use this approach by showing you some undervalued stocks with a RSI of less than 30. It's a small indication that the stock could be overbought.

I've only used my Dividend Achievers List, stocks with 10 years or more of consecutive dividend growth. In addition, each of the stocks have a low forward P/E of less than 15.

These are the 20 highest yielding stocks with  a RSI under 30....

These 15 Low Leveraged Dividend Stocks Paying Yields Over 10%

If you want to get a high dividend, not a large of 5 percent or more, I'm talking about yields far over 10% yearly, you need to take big risks. 

Normally, a 10% or more yields is normally a tell-tale sign that a dividend payout is unsustainable. A stock that has a dividend yield in the double digits can be incredibly tempting to an investor. The problem with dividend stocks is that so many of those high yields are eventually cut because the businesses can't continue to support the payout. 

That isn't always the case, though. Some companies have monstrously high yields that aren't at much risk of being cut. Attached I've tried to compile a few stocks with a double-digit yields that have fundamental strength to keep paying its investors. 

On the market are 276 companies with a current dividend yield over 10%. Mostly high leveraged companies from the energy and real estate sector are under them.

I've put my eyes on those stocks with a market cap over 2 billion and a debt to equity under 1. Exactly 15 companies have such a good ratio.

Here are the results…
