7 Attractive Dividend Growth Stocks With Solid Yields And Low Price Ratios

Recently the Federal Reserve downgraded its expectations for inflation going forward, Fed watchers concluded that September would be the earliest that hiking would begin, and even then it would proceed at a much slower pace than previously feared.

Investors care much about the activities of the Fed, more than doing own research, reading annual reports and thinking in worst and best cases of their portfolio allocation.

I can nothing change in the Fed policy which will ever be offensive because the aim is to simulate the economy. Yes, markets could be overvalued due to low manipulated interest rates but even in a broadly overpriced U.S. market, we can still find solid deals on dividend stocks. If bought at a reasonable price, a good dividend stock offers both a competitive current yield and a strong probability of dividend growth.

Here are seven Dividend Achievers, stocks with a history of growing dividends of more than 10 consecutive years, with attractive fundamentals. The forward P/E is under 15 while earnings are expected to grow by more than 5 percent over the next five years. Sales also grew by more than 5 percent yearly in the past years.

6 Cheap Dividend Aristocrats Everybody Must Love

Dividend Aristocrats are popular on the market because they have achieved to hike dividends over more than 25 years.

A rising income is an important issue for cash-flow orientated investors. I’m such a person and put my eyes also on this category of stocks.

Today, I like to introduce some of the cheapest stocks from the index which is organized by Standard & Poor’s.

As of the time of writing, only eleven stocks have a low forward P/E of which four yield over three percent.

Why You Should Look At These 16 Stocks With Cheap Free Cash Flows

When you put money into the market, you should be aware of the market valuation. One of the major problems in valuation is definitely to predict future cash-flows.

Nobody of us has a crystal-ball and no one can predict the future.

The second problem is that there are companies that must invest massively into the business model in order to boost growth or to replace old machines or buildings.

Investors often calculate with free cash flows. Those are the real income of the company, available for dividends, buybacks or mergers and acquisitions.

Today I like to introduce the cheapest Dividend Achievers with a low price to free cash flow of less than 15.

16 companies fulfilled my criteria of which four have a dividend yield over 3 percent. The most of the results come from the property and casualty insurance industry.

Insurer generates massive cash but they have also big problems with decreasing premiums and increasing competition. There are always good reasons why some companies are cheap.

5 Cheap Dividend Grower With Buy or Better Rating

I've recently focused my thoughts on dividend growth stocks with a longer history of consecutive dividend hikes.

The Cheapest Dividend Stocks From The S&P 500 - Dogs of the S&P

The S&P 500 is one of the most covered and popular indices in the world. The index also covers the best companies on this planet but, regretless, most of them are highly expensive.

Today I've created a screen that show the most inexpensive stocks from the S&P 500 with solid dividend yields, double-digit earnings growth forecasts and a low forward P/E as well.

Attached is a list of the 20 highest yielding results. Which stocks would you buy from the DOGS of the S&P 500?

The Cheapest Dividend Growers From The MidCap 400 Dividend Aristocrats Index

I've recently looked at the S&P MidCap 400 Dividend Aristocrats Index in order to find new investment ideas.

The index is designed to measure the performance of companies within the S&P MidCap 400® that have followed a managed dividends policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least 15 years.

Most valuations skyrocket within the past years due to moetaring easing. As a result, price multiples of high-quality stocks rose to over 20 and yields went down under 2 percent.

Attached is list of the cheapest dividend growers from the index. Those stocks have a forward P/E of less than 15.

13 Cheap S&P 500 Dividend Achievers

Today I like to introduce some dividend growth stocks with the cheapest valuation on the S&P 500. Those stocks have a forward P/E of less than 15.

Buying cheap stocks doesn't mean that you could make a quick return. Mostly the cheapness has reasons which you need to discover. 

For the time being, there are only 26 solid stocks but many have a huge debt burden to wear. If we exclude those stocks by implementing a debt-to-equity limit of 0.5, the results shrink to 13 companies. The list is attached. 

It's hard to find good growing stocks especially when the Fed offers money for free. But what should we do elsewhere? Compared to fixed income assets, equities are quiet cheap and they offer an inflation hedge.

Are you investing money into stocks too? Please share your thoughts related to my ideas here on my blog. Thank you so much.

Here are my 5 favorites, sorted from highest to lowest yield....

13 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10%

I know you like dividends and can't wait to receive the next payment from your favorite company. 

Dividends are great but most of the dividend stocks don't give you high amounts of cash into your pocket.

Why don't we look for stocks with very high yields? 

I talk about dividend yields in the double-digit yield range, 10 percent or more on a yearly basis. That's possible.

Sounds great? Yes for sure but those dividends often include a great risk of being reduced in the near future.

Below are 13 stocks with very high dividend yields (over 10 percent or more). I've compiled only stocks from the U.S. with a higher market capitalization in order to keep the big risks out.

7 Dividend Achievers Good Enough To Buy And 10 To Watch

The last sell-off on the market gave me reasons to look back on my dividend growers lists to check the current price ratios.

You know that stocks are too expensive but some of them show good growth ratio and have also attractive price ratios in relation to the cash income and enterprise values.

This week I've screened all Dividend Achievers by cheap fundamentals, solid growth figures and low dividend payouts. 

Dividend Achievers are stocks that have raised dividends over a period of 10 consecutive years or more. 

These are my criteria in detail:

- Dividend Yield over 2 percent

- Dividend Payout below 40 percent

- Expected 5-Year Earnings Growth over 5 percent

- Forward P/E under 15

- Only Large Caps

- 10 Years of consecutive dividend growth or more

My screen delivered me 17 results. The best yielding results come from the oil and gas sector. Those stocks suffered under falling oil and gas prices. Russian crises and recession fears in Europe are main forces to the cheap fundamentals.

I'm a guy who believes in technology, old school technology. IBM is a top pick in my view. For sure IBM did not grow over the past decade but they have a strong focus on profit and shareholder return. Earnings doubled and due to massive buybacks, EPS skyrocket.

IBM is no island in a raw sea. It's only a big company with a strong cash flow and they must pay attention to the competition.

Which stocks did you buy from the list below? Or would you buy some of the top yielder?

Here are seven Dividend Achievers with cheap fundamentals from seven different sectors. A good and broad diversification is good for most investors because they can reduce your portfolio volatility.

8 High-Return Creating Stocks

When you invest in dividend stocks you need also look at internal return rates. The most popular ratios are return on equity and return on investment.

A company that has a big return on equity and also low debt ratios means that the high ratio was not created by taking debt and boosting earnings. Great for us investors; we own a piece of a high income generating company.

If the company can scale up its sales by taking more debt and issuing new shares, our return could boost. That's also one reason why I look at low debt with good return on equity ratios. If the company also do stock buybacks and hiked dividends, great!

My experience is that no companies fulfill everything. It's no shame when a company suffers and do not meet every optimum value. Each business is volatile and risky.

I've tried to create a screen, based on some return figures. Below are my 8 favorites. At the end of this article, you can find a list with 16 additional stocks.

These are my main criteria:
- Midcap+
- Forward P/E under 15
- Operating Margin over 15 percent
- Debt-to-equity under 1
- Return on Equity 15%+
- Payout half of profits
- Mid-digit Earnigns growth forecasts

6 Cheap Dividend Aristocrats With High Growth Predicted

When you think about making money, you have several ways to become a millionaire. Nowadays, people think they only need to start-up a company, build in 5 years a 50 million customer base and bang; sold for a million to a bigger company.

Sure, that's a very lucrative way but also unrealistic for normal people like us. Most of us don't have the skills to develop a company, find customers and train people to work for us. Not enough, you must have a high-margin idea.

Dividend investors have it easier. They only need to buy good dividend paying companies that grow their earnings over years and share profits with their owners fairly.

You will definitely not get quick rich but you can achieve an eight percent return or more.

I sit here in my room and watch the market day by day with hopes to find new investments that could lift my personal wealth. All of my stocks that I own pay dividends; not all developed well but they gave me a good return over the mid-term.

I believe in big companies because they have more money and employed hands to help other divisions if those struggle. The price you pay for that low risk strategy is that you won't become a billionaire but that's something I can live with.

Below are six Dividend Aristocrats with the highest expected 5-year forward earnings growth and a low forward P/E multiple. I think it's very informative to see which of them have the best potential for the future.

6 Cheapest Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 2%

I always scout for stocks with cheap price ratios. Benjamin Graham was a great teacher about identifying fundamentally cheap stocks and one of his most popular students were billionaire Warren Buffett itself.

I love to buy stocks that are not far away from its fundamentally reasonable price. Three good indicators are Price-to-Book, Price-to-Sales and Price-to-Earnings.

Growth and a better than anticipated business environment are the main driver for wealth which let the stock price skyrocket.

Integrate both in your trading strategy and you will get a better investment return.

Yesterday, I wrote about stocks that have tenfold their sales over the past decade. It is very impressive so see how strong can companies grow but if you look at Facebook, you pay a high price for that growth.

I'm not sure if your investment in twitter and facebook will pay-off as long-term investor. You must be carefully look at the P-Ratios.

I've created a small sheet of cheap dividend stocks with a dividend yield hitting the 2% yield mark. These are my criteria in detail:

- Dividend Yield over 2%

- P/B under 2

- P/S below 2

- Forward P/E under 15

- Market Cap over 2 billion

- Dividend Payout ratio under 60%

Eighteen stocks fulfilled my criteria of which one yields over five percent. Below are my six favorites. Which do you like?

25 Of The Most Attractive Dividend Stocks

These are tough times for investors who look for cheap companies. The Dow and S&P 500 jump from high to high, but this boom is credit-driven; it's the result of the monetary easing policy of the world's major government banks.

The good thing is that we can buy stocks in every market situation, whether the market has a P/E level of 30 or 10. What we need to is to look at solid growth for the single stock and not overpay for the future prospects of an asset.

When I look at the market today, I see that the financial sector, conglomerates and basic material stocks are the cheapest valued ones in terms of forward P/E, but the highest growth is predicted for the Services and Technology sector, both of which have the highest P/E ratios.

Tech stocks have made many people rich, but if you recall the dot.com bubble in 2000, many investors and private dealers lost their money because they believed that their super high-flying stock could change the world.

Facebook, Twitter and Google dominate our world today, but will they do it in 10 or 20 years too? For sure, Microsoft has survived over 40 years. Oracle, IBM and even Apple also developed into dominant players and created a long track record, but technology is a fast changing business. You can make billions in a year, but also lose all your money in the next half-decade.

I own some of the old-school technology stocks too, but I don't like to pay for the uncertain future of a company more than it makes sense in an economic view. I will not pay 500 times sales today because of the company's next revolutionary product if I don’t understand how it works.

I want dividends and a fair chance to make an 8 percent or more return, nothing else. The market has enough opportunities to realize this goal, and it is easy to succeed.

I've found a new screener on Morningstar, but it seems only to work with Canadian and US stocks. Morningstar has a great classification of companies, from financially healthy to growth, so I tested it.

Today, I was looking for fairly valuated growth stocks with a good dividend yield. In addition, 5-year expected earnings growth had to be over 8 percent. The screen delivered 25 results, and my focus is still on consumer stocks, as well as non-cyclical dividend payers.

Below are 5 of my favorite picks. Do you like some of them? Please let me know what you think from the screen.

How to Retire At The Age Of 40 With Dividends - 10 Helpful Investing Tips From "All About Interest"

I'm passionate about dividends and share my thoughts about stocks on my blog but there are also many other bloggers with good ideas.

Most of them share their personal journey to financial freedom on the internet and educate people how they grow their passive income with dividend stocks. Their plan: Retire at the age of 40.

I love those stories and the hard work they do. I'm also a guy who worked hard for his success. That's the reason why I want to support them and like to distribute their thoughts to a wider audience.

I share fresh articles from them on my Twitter and Facebook account. If you like you can join the conversation there. It’s always great.

Today I'd like to interview a great Blogger who has a nice dividend investing space on the internet, a site calling All About Interest.

Tom: AA Interest, you are a dividend investor and publishing your journey to a financial independence at the age of 40 on the web. On your blog, you show people your asset structure with a net worth of $725,000. What are your main growth drivers for your financial freedom goal?

AA Interest: My main growth driver is my savings each month that I plow back into investments that offer passive income streams. These passive income streams are real estate (rental properties) and dividend growth stocks. 

This passive income is then added to my savings the following month and put right back to work for me, causing a compounding, or snowball effect. 

Tom: Out there are so many people who have the dream to retiree with a high passive dividend income stream. Can you give them three important tips to follow in order to achieve this aim?

AA Interest: My advice is simple:

1.) Start investing as soon as possible

2.) Save as much as you can each month

3.) Research your investments

These are the three biggest factors that will produce your desired retirement amounts: time, money and rate of return.  You need to know the time you have available for compounding to work its magic.  You need to know the amount of money you have available to invest.  You also need to do your research so you have a good return on your investments.

 

Tom: Back to stock market financials. What are the best places to be when you think about putting money into stocks now; can you tell us something about your recent trades or your current ideas.

AA Interest: Whether the market is in a bull or bear cycle, I believe there are always companies that offer a fair value or better. Currently, I have a large portion of my portfolio in the energy sector.  

I'm invested in big names like Chevron, Conoco Phillips, British Petroleum and Kinder Morgan to name a few. From a p/e standpoint, a lot of these energy companies offer some of the best values in the market.

They also happen to pay a generous and growing dividend, usually in excess of 3.5%. 

I'm also a fan of companies that generate large amounts of free cash flow and have little or no debt. A company like this that I've recently been investing in is Visa.  

I also look for short-term, negative catalysts that can suppress a stock's price. One such company I've been investing in lately is Target.

Shares are trailing the S&P significantly since the credit card breach and lackluster Canadian results.

However, Target is a dividend champion, having increased their dividend consecutively for over 47 years! I'm a fan of the company long-term and believe shares currently offer a good value. 

Tom: Final Question: You’ve published a long Watchlist on your Blog. What are your main criteria to consider a buy? Do you look at P/E multiples, high yields or other ratios?

AA Interest: I actually laid out a Business Plan so that I could monitor my stock purchasing like running an actual business. As outlined in this plan, my main criteria to buy are:

1.) At least 90% of all stocks chosen should be in the CCC list, that is the Champions, Contenders and Challengers list maintained by David Fish.  This list can be found on my Resources tab.

2.) Small-Cap or larger ( >250 million market cap).

3.) 10-year YOC should be 10% or higher (typically using 5-year CAGR).

4.) Minimum yield of 2.5% (exception can be made as long as target total portfolio yield holds).

5.) Dividend growth over last 5 years (5-year CAGR) must be over 4%.

6.) Large moat or competitive advantages.

7.) Sound fundamentals.

These are the basic rules that I follow. Some of these rules leave flexibility and some room for being subjective.  

For instance, Visa doesn't meet rule number 4. However, since my portfolio average yield is well above 3.5%, I made an exception.

In a nutshell, I'm looking for companies that pay and raise dividends at a rate higher than inflation, have a large barrier to entry and are fundamentally sound. This is why I consider myself a dividend growth investor.

9 Of The Cheapest Large Cap Dividend Stocks The Market Has To Offer (GM, MET, AFL)

Today I screened the market by large cap bargains. Those stocks have a market cap over USD 10 billion as well as a future P/E ratio of less than 10.

I know how hard it is to find real investment opportunities. I personally bought some insurance stocks in the past because those are relatively cheap valuated and they offer a little upside with rising interest rates, despite the fact that they also could get hurt due the their huge fixed income portfolio.

Within the dividend growth community, some traders have announced that they have put Deere stocks into their portfolio. I also own stocks of Deere because its one of the leading companies within the farm and soft commodity space.

Below are five dividend ideas with single-digit forward P/E ratios and positive earnings growth for the next five years while debt ratios are acceptable. 

These are the criteria in detail:

- Forward P/E under 10

- 5Y future earnings growth positive

- Large Caps

- Dividends positive

- Long-term debt-to-equity under 1

The selection is not huge. Attached is also a list with all details from the screen. Nine stocks are in focus of the screen.

5 Cheaply Valueated Dividend Stocks...

4 Hot Dividend Growing Incurance Stocks You Must Know (ACE, AFL, TRV, UNH)

During the past week I've visited my girlfriend and came back home with some ideas about investing. 

Earlier this year, I've noticed that insurance stocks are great cash flow producer and some of them have a really low dividend payout ratio. They invest a huge amount of money to buy back own shares and they are really cheap valuated.

Warren Buffet likes insurer but he prefers today stocks from the cable business. I also see that those companies have a very attractive Price-to-Ebitda ratio.

However, I bought two German insurers last Friday. They yield over 3 percent and I like to increase my positions over the next time if they become cheaper.

The American stock market also has great insurer to look at. Aflac and Travelers are my two favorites followed by Chubb Corp. Those are also long-term dividend grower and part of David Fish's CCC List.

Below I've highlighted a few large cap insurer from the accident & health insurance industry as well as stocks from the property & casualty insurance industry. In addition, I've added large caps from the health care plans industry. From there came only one stock, the United Health Group.

All of the selected stocks have raised dividends by more than five consecutive years. Just dare a glace at my thoughts. I know that those stocks are not very popular but they are very attractive in terms of price for cash.

Are These 8 Great Dividend Grower Underestimated By The Market?

I like it when stocks fall because they become cheaper. That's the reason why I always look at companies with a really bad stock performance.

I personally don't care about analysts and lead investors who are sometimes anxious about the future of the company. In other cases, they need to justify their portfolio risk.

I love it to see bad performing dividend stocks with a very long history of solid growing dividends, especially when the future outlook is still bright.

Below I've highlighted some of the worst performing and most disliked dividend growth stocks on the market with a negative 1-Year performance. They all got low forward P/E and yields over 3 percent.

What do you think, are they underestimated by the market?

8 Cheap Dividend Growth Stars You Must Know....

Dividend stocks are a passion for me but most of the long-term dividend payer and grower underperformed the market within the recent years.

However, I maintain my strategy because I know what I own and how much return they will deliver over the long-run. I don't care about my friends and other investor colleagues and what they might say about my boring strategy. 

Toady I've screened the market by cheap opportunities, stocks that look fundamentally cheap. It does not mean that they perform well in the near future but they offer a good yield with solid fundamentals which is a good seed of future crops.

My criteria are:

- Dividend growth of more than 5 consecutive years
- Debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5
- Dividend Yield above 3 percent
- Market Cap over $2 billion
- Forward P/E below 15

8 companies survived my screening. Below are the detailed stocks in review.

6 Dividend Grower With The Best Price For Earnings Growth Ratio

Growth is good for investors and a growing company will deliver you a solid return when you have bought shares of the stocks at an attractive price and growth rates gain momentum.

If the outlook and business environment turn into a better perspective is a point that we can't forecast but we can discover if stocks are cheap or expensive in terms of expected growth. 

One fiscal measure that tells us something about cheap growth is the price-earnings-to-growth ratio (PEG). A value below one is a sign that the stock is cheap compared to its forecasted earnings growth.

Below are six good capitalized dividend growth stocks with a low PEG ratio and a dividend yield over two percent.
