10 Utilities With The Most Solid Debt And Payout Figures To Boost Future Dividends

Utility dividend paying stocks with low payout ratios and relatively small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The utility sector is a little bit different compared to the other sectors on the capital market.

There is a huge need for capital when utilities think about expansion but they also deliver solid sales and returns. It’s like an infrastructure investment within the economy.

Today I like to apply my current article serial criteria about stocks with high potential to boost dividend payments to the utility sector. I needed to weaken the efforts a little bit. These are the new criteria:

Dividend Payout Ratio below 50 percent

Debt-To-Equity Ratio under 1

As you might see, only ten utilities fulfilled these criteria of which six are currently recommended to buy. It’s really so sector to find low leveraged stocks with small payout ratios. You should definitely look at the technology or healthcare sector to find more results.

IdaCorp is the top yielding pick on the list. I recently put them into the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio which generates currently around $2,500 in passive income.

Here are my favorite stocks:

9 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Buy Or Better Rating

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better recommendations originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Some of my readers like you have a huge desire for income stocks. Not enough, they should have a good payout in terms of initial yields and offer you a great opportunity with price hikes.

It’s hard to find the perfect dividend stock that delivers you a great return at a low risk and the higher the initial yield, the bigger the risk seems.

Today I would like to introduce you some of the highest yielding stocks at the stock market with current buy or better ratings by brokerage firms.

At the market are around a hundred stocks with double-digit dividend yields but most of them, 78 percent, are small capitalized. I don’t like stocks with a small market cap because of the low diversification and high sensitivity when trading volume comes into the stock. In my current screen, I observe only stocks with a USD 2 billion or more capitalization. Below is a list of the 9 highest yielding stocks with a buy or better rating.

9 Stocks With Double-Digit Yields And Buy Or Better Recommendations

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Boost your dividend income wisely. The easiest way is to look for stocks with extraordinary high yields but there is still a huge risk to receive the dividend one time and no more further.

There is no solution for this problem because no return exists without a risk. Today I’ve screened stocks with very high dividend yields (over 10 percent). Around 100 companies have a current yield over 10 percent but most of them are low capitalized or they will pay no high dividends in the future. In order to eliminate the real big risks from the screening results, I observed only those companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. In addition, the stock should have a buy or better rating. Only nine stocks fulfilled these criteria with a dividend yield between 10 percent and 20 percent.

9 High-Yield Stocks With Strong Buy Rating

High yielding dividend paying stocks with strongest buy rating originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I'm often asked if I would recommend to buy high-yielding stocks. I answer them that it makes sense to buy stocks with a yield over five percent but don’t expect that they will pay the dividend to the end of your lifetime and don’t expect that they will hike their payments each year or with a higher growth rate.

I personally bought several high yielding stocks around the world and nearly each investment was a disaster. Sure I also made some profits with stocks from the tobacco industry but they were the only investment ideas that worked for me. If I draw a line and make a calculation about my High-Yield activities, it would result in a very bad performance. That is my personal experience with the investment category.

Stocks with a higher yield are risky but it makes sense to look for them. Today I like to discover the most recommended High-Yields with a market capitalization over USD 300 million. Nine companies with a yield over 5 percent have a strong buy rating.

20 Of The Safest Utilities With Best Dividend Yields

Some of the safest utilities originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Many people say that utilities have a higher degree of safeness because of the stability and the relationships to their clients. 

That’s primarily true but utilities have also two big burdens. They don’t grow fast and if they grow they need greather amounts of money. The second problem is that most of the utilities are very capital intensive and they fulfill their capital needs with loans. That’s normally not a problem because a utility has stable cash flows and can get access to the capital market very easy.

Today I like to look at the safest dividend stocks from the utility sector. 123 equities are available on the market. I screen all of them by a market capitalization over USD 10 billion and beta ratio below one.

Linked is a list of the 20 best yielding companies. Three of them are High-Yields and eight have a buy or better recommendation.

20 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Highest Buy Ratings

Most recommended stocks with very high yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love stocks with high dividend yields but there are only a few with sustainable payments. I think about Altria or Lorillard. Other stocks have a huge potential for a dividend cut, also if they are a Dividend Champion or a stock with a very long dividend growth history. I made this investment mistake with Avon Products. The company was highly leveraged and became some operations problems. Finally they reduced the dividend dramatically.

Most of the people need stocks with very high yields. I don’t because my private wealth is high enough to catch the dividend payments and live off it. In the past, I often thought it would be the only solution to put all my money into the highest yielding stocks with the most attractive fundamentals. This strategy failed and I lost much money within the closed-end shipping industry. That was a big mistake from which I learned and I like to share this with you.

Please don’t put all your money into one stock or make a single bet on a high-yield stock. This is very risky. That’s all I can say. Make a good research and try to avoid an overweighting of a stock or asset theme.

Each month, I made a regular screen about the stocks with the highest dividend yields because I believe there is a lot of value information in it for my readers. This month, I like to show you the 20 most recommended stocks with a double-digit dividend yield and a higher market capitalization (over USD 300 million). Out there are 95 companies with a very high yield but only 35 have a buy or better recommendation. The REIT industry is still a big player on my screen with 6 representatives.

20 Stocks To Buy | The Most Recommended Utilities At The Market

Utilities with a buy or better rating originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Some investors love utilities, others hate them. I am somewhere in the middle. I never invested money into the utility sector because I know that strong growth is nearly impossible at low investment cots. So you should not get a quick big return.

The only chance to make a little money is with time optimized stock trading. But that's to complicated for me and means hard work. I love it to buy some high-quality growth stocks to receive the dividends without keeping an eye on anything and having fun with my live.

The good thing on utilities is that they generate stable cash flows and they can use the incoming money to pay high dividends and repurchase own shares. I believe that it makes more sense to buy bonds of those companies because if the company jumps into trouble the dividend payments and share buyback programs will be reduced as first. The bondholders suffer at the end.

However, I like to show you today which utilities are the most recommended at the market. I made a small list of the 20 best stocks which excludes stocks with a market capitalization below USD 2 billion because I personally think the risk should be much higher as for mid-capitalized stocks.

Below the 20 hottest utilities are sixteen with a dividend; two are high-yields.
