20 Dividend Achievers Benjamin Graham Would Hunt

Benjamin Graham, the father of value investing, liked bargains.

In The Intelligent Investor, he told investors to look for stock prices at or below 15-times earnings, and at or below 1.5-times book value.

I like to adjust this rule in order to limit the results from my screen.

Here are more restrictions of my screen:

- Dividend Achiever
- Forward P/E under 15
- P/B under 2
- 5 Year Future EPS Forecasted Growth Over 5% yearly
- Debt to equity under 0.5

Exactly 20 stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which 6 yield over 3%. 

Attached I've tried to compile a few stocks that might match these criteria within the Dividend Achievers space. You will also find the best yielding stocks from the screen as a detailed snapshot.

Banks and insurer are dominating the screening results.

17 Stocks With Strong Balance Sheets And Growing Dividends

It's better to put money into stocks with growing dividends and strong balance sheets and a solid outlook. For sure you should not expect high rolling returns at triple digit rates but over decades you can expect to grow your invesment.

Stressed assets look like big bargains but you have a face a much bigger risk. Today I would like to focus on those stocks that offer less riks due to a strong balance sheet.

Stong balance sheets have many stocks. Some got a fresh capital injection and swim in cash but their business is cyclic and loses money. Those stocks are not the kind of investment I'm looking for.

In today's screen I've focused on stocks with a 10 year consecutive dividend growth. It's a strong indicator for a stable business.

Here are the best yielding results...

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.

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.

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....

18 Best Dividend Growth Stocks For The Long Term

The best dividend stocks pay rising dividends year after year. These are typically well known businesses with long dividend histories.

But that's not all. You have to look at much more than on consequent paid dividends. You must look at debt ratios, growth figures, valuation levels, and much more.

However, global economic headwinds are leaving investors perplexed about which stocks to bank on. The markets have been on a roller coaster ride in the recent past – either due to the flagging Chinese economy, the Eurozone debt crisis or the U.S. Federal Reserve’s pending decision over the first rate hike. Moreover, weakness in the energy sector and a strong dollar are nagging concerns.

We have to focus on stocks with long-term potential to avoid short-term problems. Today's screen is long-term orientated. I've put my focus on the best 5 year earnings growth forecast.

These are my screening criteria in detail

- Dividend Achiever Member (over 10 year's consecutive dividend growth)
- 5 Year Predicted EPS Growth Over 5%
- Market Cap over 2 Billion
- Forward P/E under 15
- Debt/Equity under 0.5

18 stocks jumped on my screen. The results can be found at the end of this wonderful article.

19 Nearly Debt-Free Dividend Achievers To Consider When Interest Rates Rise

Recently I began looking for dividend paying companies that carried no debt (or very little) on their books.

Not every company that I found would fit into my portfolio but several have found a place on my watch list and could prove to be quality investments over a long time period.

A company may have no debt for many reasons, not all are a positive for an investor. From an investor's stand point right away we see the benefit of a company having no debt because if you choose to invest in that company you are not incurring any share of their debt.

By remaining skeptical and cautious we must ask ourselves how they came to have no debt. It could be that their products sell so well they generate enough revenue to cover all their expenses.

On the other end of the spectrum it could be that the company is doing so poorly that nobody is willing to lend them money.

In no way am I saying that debt is bad for a company, or even an individual. Debt can be a tax advantage for many corporations as the interest payments provide a great tax break.

Companies often also utilize debt to finance their operations rather than their equity. If companies continue to sell additional shares to finance their operations it can destroy shareholder value, especially when that money raised does not go toward improving revenue and growth.

On a broader view, companies with no debt and high amounts of cash are better positioned for higher interest rates. If interest payments go up, the company gets more money from its bank and don't need to pay higher loan rates.

Attached you will find the best dividend growth stocks that are nearly debt-free in relation to its equity. The ratio I've discovered was the debt-to-equity ratio. Each of the stocks I've researched has a very low ratio of less than 0.1.

At the end of this article, you can find the full list with more fundamentals of all 19 results. Below are the 5 best yielding stocks in detail.

18 Most Attractive Mid-Cap Dividend Growth Stocks

I'm a big fan of large capitalized stocks due to the higher degree of safeness I could enjoy. But the price I pay for those extra points is return.

High quality large cap stocks often give you a smaller return than companies with a small capitalization.

Mid-cap stocks combine attributes of both large and small companies. Similar to large companies, these mid-size companies can have seasoned management teams, a strong market presence and access to capital markets, for instance.

They can also grow quickly, with fewer layers of management and bureaucracy, and offer a more entrepreneurial spirit than large competitors.

Attached I've tried to list some smaller capitalized dividend growth stocks with a market cap under 10 billion and a history of consecutive dividend of more than 10 years.

Exactly 210 companies have such a long dividend growth history. In order to limit my selection, I've tighten my criteria.

Each of the stocks must fulfill the following restrictions:

- Forward P/E under 15

- Debt-to-equity under 0.5

- 5-Year estimated EPS growth over 5%

18 small- and mid capitalized stocks survived my screening criteria of which five yield over 3 percent. 8 of the results have a buy or better rating.

14 Cheap Regional Banks With A Long Dividend Growth History

The banking sector has certainly come a long way since the financial crisis. Banks are better capitalized, have less risky loans and other assets, and are taking steps to operate more efficiently. There are some good investment opportunities in the banking sector.

Today I like to focus on those with a low forward P/E. Only 14 are part of my results which you can find in the attached list.

8 Dividend Growth-Oriented Companies With Better Prospects On Rising Rates

Yieldcos are pitched to investors as dividend growth-oriented companies which distribute predictable cash-flows to investors on tax efficient terms.

The low interest rate environment has increased the attractiveness to investors because yieldcos have promised a higher return compared with mainstream investment products.

In addition, low interest rates helped yieldcos to borrow at lower costs in order to invest in more renewable projects. An increase in interest rates would not only raise yieldcos’ borrowing costs, but it could also make them less attractive compared with other investment products. The majority of yieldcos are based in the United States and the United Kingdom, where interest rates are expected to increase over the short and medium term.

In order to anticipate a rate hike, investors should look at the debt and cash situation of a corporate. A high debt loaded stocks should get some headwinds from the finance department of the corporate. Each quarter-percent should weight on earnings and slow down earnings growth.

Attached you can find a 20 stocks which should benefit from rising rates because they own only a little amonunt of debt and serve cash on hands and bank balance.
