18 Dividend Growth Stocks With 4% Yields And The Lowest Beta Ratios

Defensive Investors are defined as investors who are not able or willing to do substantial research into individual investments, and therefore need to select only the companies that present the least amount of risk.

Risk taking should be rewarded with higher yields. Most investors don't get paid for their investments or risk preference. Dividend stocks could offer a small risk compensation. Each dividend payment reduces your initial investment cost which is really nice. Over years, you will have a large risk buffer.

Today I like to show you some stocks with a long dividend growth history, high yields and low beta ratios. I guess this should be a great middle way. My research focus is limited to stocks with a consecutive dividend growth history of more than 10 years. Each stock should have a yield over 4% and a beta ratio under 0.5. 

18 companies fulfilled my criteria of which eight are high-yields. 5 Master Limited Partnerships lead the list of the results. Do you like any of the results? Please leave a comment in the box below the article and we discuss it. Thank you for reading and commenting.

Here are the top yielding results in detail...

Stocks For The Next Decade Each Safe Haven Investor Need To Know

When it comes to times of uncertainty and volatility, nothing beats safe haven stocks. What are they? They are dividend stocks with high yields and minimal risk as compared to other stocks.

You might have noticed that the federal banks flooding the markets with cheap money and investors started to get greedy by taking more and more debt to buy stocks higher and bonds extraordinary higher.

Those times come to an end if rates rise or something else crosses like weak economic data. This time, the strong dollar could bring the rally to an end.

Today I like to show you 13 stocks with cheap price ratios and an extremely stable business model that can resist the greatest market storm. It does not mean that the stock price goes down but with every recession those stocks become stronger and stronger.

8 Attractive Looking Dividend Growth Companies

The recent small sell-off gave me an opportunity to look at the current dividend achievers lists; those also include lists of Champions, Contenders and Aristocrats.

I've looked for cheap opportunities with a solid growing business. ACE and TROW were both stocks that cached my thoughts in the recent days. For sure, their yields stand only at 2.54 and 2.67 percent as well but remember that they pay only a small amount of money to shareholders while the business models enables it to pay much more.

ACE also started to buy bigger amounts of own shares. That's fantastic because in the past, they thrown only shares on the market to finance growth.

TROW paid a special dividend earlier this year but still has enough capability to raise dividends in the future. The current payout is only around 40 percent with no debt on balance sheets.

Here are the top picks from my screening results. Which do you like?

6 Mid Capitalized Dividend Achievers For Growth And Income Seeking Investors

Recently, I wrote about foreign small cap dividend stocks with growth potential. Small- and midcaps offer investors a higher opportunity because sales could grow faster from a low basis.

But there is no free lunch. Those stocks are also much riskier than large caps. Generally, smaller cap securities are more volatile, but often offer a higher rate of return over the long-term.

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.

10 Sustainable Dividend Growth Stocks With High Yields And Low Payouts

Dividend income may not guaranteed but they can easily deliver a sustainable income source. And while not guaranteed, many dividend payouts are exceedingly reliable.

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.

These Dividend Contenders May Rise Dividends Within The Next 3 Months

Recently, I wrote about DividendChampions that may rise dividends within the next 3 months in order to keep their status as dividend grower alive.

It's fantstic to know what companies should hike it's dividends because the current yields are so low that each investor get tears in his eyes.

A potential dividend hike could lift the current dividend yield on a new level.

Today I like to introduce some Dividend Contenders with potential to hike dividends over the next quarter. As a result, I found 20 companies; nine of them yield over 3 percent.

Dividend Growth is a wonderful investing space on which I personally spend a lot of time. 

I love it to see dividends grow but it's only possible if a company grows and has low debt ratios.

These 8 Dividend Stocks Bubbling Cash Like Lava Gold Mines (Part II)

If you like to make money on the stock market like me, you need a clear vision and strategy about how to make money. 

Are you an income investor who likes to receive dividends or are you a short-term orientated trader with focus on quick profits?

I'm focused on long-term growth with growing income. In my view, only over a long period of time, stocks can double and develop their full asset potential.

I've recently published a small article about stocks with high free cash flows, companies that earn so much money from its operations and they have no need or desire to invest this money. 

I love those companies but the source of income should also be reliable. Only cash that comes over years and decades will deliver a good return for you.

In my first article about Cash Cows that produce money like milk, I've compiled some of the top yielding stocks with low reinvestment rates. 

Most of the top yielding stocks come from the technology sector and they also plan to buyback a significant amount of own shares which is also very good for the stock price.

Today I like to go forward and introduce the rest of my research results. They have in average a smaller yield but should be also attractive. A big part of the results come from the financial sector. Asset Managers and Stock Exchange Operators are top.

These 6 Dividend Stocks Start To Take-Off

After I've published a few articles about safe dividend stocks and stocks with high cash and low debt ratios, I come back to growth.

Growth is good because it grows the value of your assets too. I ever told that only a growing stock is good but you can only make money with growth stocks if you pay reasonable prices for them.

The market is highly valuated, that's news from the recent quarters and more than true. With P/E multiples above 20, you need high growth to justify this values.

Today, I've created a screen for you that are based on momentum growth. I've discovered stocks with double digit earnings and sales growth.

These are my main criteria:

- Market Cap over $10 billion
- Positive Dividend Yield
- Debt-To-Equity Ratio under 0.5
- 5Y Forecasted Earnings Growth over 5%
- Quarter over Quarter Sales Growth over 10%
- Quarter over Quarter Earnings Growth over 10%
- Only US Home Base

Nineteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which none yield over 2.5 percent in dividend. That's not much but for growth you can waive a small part of your yield.

These 7 Dividend Cash Cows Produce Money Like Milk (Part I)

Investing is great. You can spend money on stocks and if your bet goes wild you will make a lot of money. That's a great dream for all of us and I can tell you that it's possible to become an investment Pro.

I'm a guy who looks steadily at stocks and try to find attractive investment stories and cheap stocks in order to make a good return.

I'm not short term focused; plan to hold most of my stocks over years and decades. Due to my long investment horizon, I need good companies that grow over time their business, pay me good dividends, and grow dividends as well.

But the most important question is that the corporate can grow without taking new investors on board. Those actions will grow outstanding shares in general and bring pressure on earnings per share growth.

I look for companies have generated high free cash flows, companies with a business model that don't need much money to keep their operational business alive.

I've tried to find some new ideas with an old screener who has a quick option; it’s called the reinvestment rate. I don't know how they calculate this ratio but when I sort the list of large with high margins by this ratio, companies with low investment spending on their operational cash flow come first.

Big Money Roll In Your Pocket

I talk about companies with a high scalable business, stocks with the lowest need of capital expenditures. First you might think about Facebook or all the great tobacco companies. For sure those shares generate big free cash flows.

But there are much more companies, I talk about technology stocks and money platforms. The key is here the platform business. Each new customer doesn't cause new costs and bring free cash into the corporate. That's a great idea of making money.

The only item to care about is market entry barriers. Can competitors easily enter and push down margins? If yes, keep your fingers away of buy only at low multiples.

Below are seven detailed stocks. I will follow up with 8 additional stocks. That's only a selection; there are much more companies available. Some of them pay no dividends other a low one but dividend is not the key.

5 Cash-Hoarding Stocks With Top Yields And Strong Cash Flows (PFE, COP, CVX, LLY, MRK)

While I made my daily research on several stock market screeners, one question came deeply into my mind. When the markets are so expensive, who are the cheapest stocks, not by P/E but in terms of cash flow or Ebitda. I also included the Cash and debt of the company.

So, the good thing is that you can buy stocks in every market cycle but you must be careful with your investment spending.

Your final return depends in the end on your inital investment cost and if you buy at a high price, your return will fall into a low or negative area.

Good to know that dividends can upper your yield but my experience is that it could be very painful for an investor to look at a suffering return over years.

These are my criteria:

- Market Cap over 15 Billion

- Dividend Yield in the higher yield space over 3 percent

- Cheapest Enterprise-To-Ebitda Ratio on the market

My screen delivered some interesting results in the large cap area: Oil companies are top. 

COP, CVX are the best results in terms of EV/EBITDA. Both have a ratio of around 5 which is very comfortable in the current situation but what about Russia and the Middle East crises?

My second best results came from the technology space: Intel and Verizon. Warren Buffett added his VZ stake by one third on the past quarter and he might be right because VZ is much cheaper than rival AT&T. The EV/EBITDA ratio is only at 6.35 while T has a ratio of 9.66.

Healthcare is also good positioned with Merck, Pfizer and Eli Lilly but those are suffering on the patent cliff.

I believe that it does not make sense to look at stocks with a higher ratio. For sure cash flows can come down and the full sheet becomes trash but most of the companies serve values. What are your thoughts about my current screen? How are you invested?

These are the best results in terms of lowest debt-to-equity ratio:

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.
