19 Cheap High-Yield Opportunities From The Financial Sector

Financial stocks can offer great opportunities for dividend investors. Financials will benefit from rising interest rate expectations and a steeper yield curve. 

The sector offers the least expensive valuation of any sector in the S&P 500, trading at a mere 13.5 price/earnings multiple. Financials also benefit from positive loan growth, which should occur this year.

In addition, it is the sector that has the most sensitivity to higher interest rates. While multiples have increased for most of these stocks since the election, many are trading at a substantial discount to the market. Deregulation could create potential earnings per share upside for the entire sector.

4 Best Income Stocks Worth Buying in 2017

Income stocks are considered to be good investment options as they generate a secure ongoing stream of regular income for the duration that the stock is held. Hence, such stocks can be an excellent option for risk-averse, long-term investors.

Investors often look for quick money-making alternatives by investing in stocks and achieving fast capital appreciation through increases in share prices. However, the risks involved in the selection process - unexpected stock price declines, market selloffs and elevated tax costs on short-term investments - are often overlooked.

Dividend investing is prudent as dividends are a less risky component of total return than capital appreciation. Also, dividend stocks are historically less volatile than non-dividend stocks. Moreover, they reflect a company's solid financial structure and strong fundamentals.

Whether it's an up market or a down market, there's always a place for dividend investing. Here's why: The yields on dividend stocks rise when their share prices go down. 

That's an opportunity to chase extra yield. On the flip side, if the market is escalating upwards - that's obviously good for all equities. Hence, it can be easily said that dividend-paying stocks are always appropriate for long-term investors.

Attached I've compiled a couple of dividend stocks that might be interesting to buy and hold for the next year. All stocks offer a dividend yield of minimum 3% and have a steady dividend growth rate of above 5% in the last five years.

These are the results...

20 Cheap Stocks With The Highest Yields On The Market

In the seven years since the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates virtually to zero, investors have struggled to find income amid a low-yield landscape. 

That's why stocks with high dividend yields are particularly appealing right now to income investors and savers -- double-digit yields, even more so. 

Recently I wrote about the highest yielding stocks on the market with a buy or better rating. The yields from the results were all over 8 percent.

Today I like to share those stocks with you that offer the cheapest P/E, price-to-earnings ratios while having the highest yields on the market.

I've also include those stocks with a 2+ billion market capitalization. Limited Partnerships, Oil drillers, REITs and Telecoms are mostly higher yielding stocks, giving investors a large share of its annual profits back via dividends.

20 Buy Rated Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 8%

One group of investors that has had more than their fill of quantitative easing (QE) is income investors, who rely on investments that pay steady and dependable dividends or distributions that help supplement other sources of income. 

The whole point of QE was to drive down interest rates to make higher risk assets more attractive. 

While that has worked out pretty well for growth stock investors with long time horizons, income and growth and income investors were left with very little to cheer about. 

In the early 2000s, large money center banks were offering certificates of deposit, guaranteed for principal up to $250,000, that yielded anywhere from 5% to 7%. Currently that is in the 2%-plus range.

It's sad but we needed to say goodbye to higher yields with low risks. Today we get only low yields with high risk.

Attached you can find 20 stocks with a buy or better rating that offer you a 8% yield or more.

I've only included those stocks with a market cap over 2 billion in order to avoid the really big risks.

14 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10% And An Expected Single P/E

It seems that every story you read about these days is geared toward day traders or those looking for long-term growth in retirement portfolios. But there are millions of investors who need or want current income, and low interest rates have made that strategy largely a losing one. Some of us developed to yield seekers, looking for cheap and high yielding stocks
.

I’m not talking about a yield income of 1 or 2 percent yearly. No, that’s boring. I’m talking about a 2.5 percent yield per quarter or a sum of 10% or more per year.

Attached you can find a selection of stocks with yields over 10 percent. The valuation of the selected stocks is cheap with a forward P/E of less than 10.

Most of the 14 results are off mainstream: Asset Managers, Oil & Gas Refining & Marketing, REITs and finally Telecoms are the main groups that pay those big dividends while having a cheap valuation.

Are they cheap for a reason or a bargain?

The market is always looking forward, so that fact that those stocks are trading below their book value suggests investors expect the companies to underperform. While there are several reasons why this is could be the case, one of the most apparent is tighter spreads.

Here are the results in detail....

45 Stocks With Growing Dividends In The Past Week

Attached is a list of all dividend growers from the past week.

In total, 45 companies increased their dividend payments of which 16 are higher capitalized (over 2 billion market cap).

6 stocks from the results have a yield over 10 percent while 8 paying dividends of 5 to 10 percent. Most of the high yielders are low capitalized stocks of which I'm not really sure how long they will pay dividends in general.

My greatest surprise was the dividend hike of Alliance Holdings and Alliance Resource Partners. Both increased dividends despite high debt and falling coal prices. Shale Gas is killing Coal but ARLP still generate cash from coal mining. Let's follow what happens in the future.

These are my favorites from the list. Which do you like?

My Best Financial Stock Picks For 2013 | Do Financial Stocks Recover?

Buy shares low, hold them and sell high. That’s a very easy and simple strategy but investing is much more than buying stocks and waiting until the price goes up. You have to select the best stocks by fundamentals, business model, market strength, price ratios and so on. Investing is hard work and your emotions shouldn’t be a part of your selection process. Do you lose money with a trade? Don’t care that’s part of the business of a stock trader. Take care that your single trade positions are not big in relation to your trading limits or margins. They should account for less than 1 percent of your net worth.

Today, I like to screen the financial sector by the best growth stock picks for 2013. The whole sector has too many stocks listed, around 2,868 - No wonder that we need a consolidation with the financial crisis. Stocks from the sector are totally valuated at 168.25 trillion. The average P/E amounts to 13.04 and the yield is 2.45. What do you think, are stocks from the financial sector cheap or right to buy now? Let me know in the comment box bellow.

These are my criteria:

- Forward P/E under 15

- Past 5Y Sales growth over 10 percent

- Earnings per share growth for the next five years over 10 percent

- Operating Margin over 10 percent

- Market Capitalization over 2 billion

Eleven stocks remain of which six have a current buy or better rating. Ten of the results pay dividends. I am not a big fan of financial stocks because I could not evaluate the risks of the banking assets. I like stocks from services stocks with financial relations like Thomson Reuters, Moodys or Nasdaq.
