I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

11 Cheap Stocks With Unbelievable High Dividends

Stocks with very high yields and low price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Some of my readers often ask themselves what are the highest yielding stocks at the market. When they read articles about the highest dividend paying shares they noticed Pitney Bowes, who is also a S&P 500 member, or Annaly Capital Management.

Both have a double digit yield at a higher market capitalization and investors of the early round have made their first money with these stocks. The market is still in doubt and I am too because I don’t like stocks with a very high yield and huge debt loads. I'm a believer of dividend growth and I like stocks with a yield between 1-2 percent much more when they increase them with a double-digit rate.

PBI has gained 44 percent over the recent quarter and has now a yield below the 10 percent mark but the P/E ratio is still in a single-digit range. Today I like to publish all higher capitalized dividend stocks (over $2 billion market capitalization) with a low P/E ratio (under 15). Eleven stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight have a buy or better recommendation.

17 Higher Capitalized Stocks With Really Huge Dividend Yields (Over 10%)

Higher Capitalized Stocks With Double-Digit Yields Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Stocks with very high yields are attractive for dividend and income investors. If you own a stock with a double-digit yield, you should expect a quarter dividends of at least 2.5 percent.

I screened all stocks with a dividend yield over 10 percent. 126 stocks have such a high yield but most of the companies are low capitalized and they have not sustained dividends. In order to get only higher capitalized stocks, I selected those with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. Seventeen companies remained of which eleven are recommended to buy.
