An Overview Of The Safest And Best Yielding Large Cap Dividend Stocks

Large Capitalized Dividend Stocks With Lowest Beta Ratio Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Stocks with low beta ratios are less volatile than the market. If they pay a good yield, could there a better investment? I made a screen of the best yielding large capitalized stocks (over USD 10 billion) with a beta ratio of less than 0.5. The ratio summarizes all stocks with a share price performance that represents not more than the half performance of the market.

Exactly 45 companies fulfilled these criteria but only 18 have a yield of more than four percent.

The Safest S&P 500 High Yield Dividend Stocks

High Yield Stocks From The S&P 500 With Low Beta Ratio Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. High Yield stocks are interesting because they pay a huge amount of cash to shareholders pocket. If a company has yield over five percent and it pay the money for a decade, you will have received your investment amount by more than a half in cash. The only point we should look at is the stability of the dividend payments.

I screened all S&P 500 high yields by the lowest beta ratio. The beta ratio is a statistical ratio which measures the dependence of the stock in relation to the whole capital market. If the ratio is below one, the company has a lower risk than the market. From all nineteen S&P 500 high yield stocks are fifteen with a beta ratio of less than one but only six are currently recommended to buy. Thirty percent of the results come from the domestic telecom services industry.

Corporate Bonds – A Safe Haven For 2012

Corporate Bonds – A Safe Haven For 2012 By Guest Blogger Imogen Reed. The US economy may have turned a corner, growth in Asia may still be impressive, and the Eurozone may have been saved from going into free fall, but 2012 still promises to be an ‘interesting’ year, and a difficult one for investors. The US recovery is still not entirely secure, and if the last few months are anything to go by it is likely that this recovery will be a much slower affair than previous ones, partly at least due to the high levels of personal and government debt, which will inevitably act as a dampener on expansion for several years. Asian growth rates whilst still impressive are gradually moderating, affected not only by the slowdown in the western economies, but also by increasing costs of production resulting from indigenous wage pressures and external increases in the cost of raw materials. Meanwhile, crisis in the Eurozone may have only been deferred rather than averted. The Greek tragedy may have been largely discounted by the markets, but countries such as Portugal and Spain remain perilously close to the edge, and even countries outside the Euro such as the UK are experiencing almost no growth, and are under threat of having their AAA debt rating downgraded.

7 Low Volatility Stocks With Double-Digit Yields

Safe Stocks With Over 10% Dividend Yield Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Stocks with a yield over ten percent are often mocked as not sustainable. Sure, some companies pay such dividends only for a few quarters until they cut dividends. But if the company pays the double-digit yield for a few years, you have earned at least enough to overcompensate expected share price losses. However, I screened the capital market by stocks with a double-digit yield and a beta ratio below one (less volatile than the market). In order to exclude the risks of low capitalized and hidden stocks, I decided to screen only those companies with a capitalization over USD 2 billion. Seven stocks met the mentioned criteria of which five have a buy or better rating.

Why Dividend Stocks Are Such A Safe Investment

Why Dividend Stocks Are Such A Safe Investment By Guest Blogger Imogen Reed. All investors want just two things for their money: a high a yield as possible, and a safe an investment as possible. An investment that is both safe and pays out a high yield is the Holy Grail, but is not easy to find. Investments usually vary from high risk and high payout, to relatively safe but low yield. Finding a good compromise between high yield and low risk is the secret to successful investing, which is why so many people choose dividend stocks.

Just as paying by plastic is often the safest way to shop, dividend stocks are perhaps the safest option for building up an investment portfolio. Unlike bonds, which are relatively low yield, and real estate, which offers better rewards but far greater risk, dividend stocks, not only offer attractive yields, but also are one of the safest places to invest your money.

An Overview Of The Safest Dividend Aristocrats

Dividend Aristocrats With Lowest Beta Ratio Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that have raised dividends over a period of more than 25 consecutive years and they are part of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index. The index measures the performance of large cap, blue chip companies within the S&P 500 that have followed a policy of increasing dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years. Unfortunately, the index covers only 25 percent of all stocks with such a long dividend payment history. The other stocks can be discovered as Dividend Champions. However, I’ve tried to summarize only stocks with a very low volatility, measured by a low beta ratio (a value of less than 0.5). Fourteen companies remained of which six have a yield of more than 3 percent. Five stocks have a buy or better recommendation.

The Best Yielding Utilities With Fastest Earnings Growth

Utility Stocks With Best Growth Forecasts And Highest Yield Researched by Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Growth is an important item for wealth.
