20 Cheap Foreign Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4% And Solid Growth And Debt Fundamentals

Many individual investors count on dividend payments they receive for buying shares in certain companies. But with the S&P 500 Index yielding an average of only 2.1%, it is important income investors consider global stocks to maximize their total return.

Income-oriented investors, who focus only or primarily on the United States, are limiting themselves to one of the least dividend-rich stock markets to gain a secure income. This is not bad but abroad is also nice yields available which become higher when the dollar is falling one day. I believe that this will happen one day. 


Attached, I've put a few high-quality dividend paying stocks from abroad that are listed in the United States. As of today, there are 886 foreign companies listed of which 398 pay a dividend. I cannot list of them here so I need to make a difference between them. I decided to list only stocks with a 2 billion+ market cap and a low forward P/E, expected earnings growth over 5% and solid debt ratios. 


These stocks jumped into my eyes...

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:

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of August 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend stocks with great looking fundamentals and cheap price ratios can promise you a good return but they are also very rare and hard to find in my view. The higher your efforts of your screen are, the lower the number of results you get.

Today I would like to update my monthly screen about the cheapest dividend paying stocks on the capital market. I use six very strong criteria and only around a dozen companies remain each month.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:
- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.
- P/E ratio under 15
- P/S and P/B ratio under 2
- Positive Dividends

Twelve companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria and ten of them have a current buy or better rating. One stock has a high yield (5 percent dividend yield or more). To buy cheap stocks is no guarantee for a return but you get value for what you pay and the possibility to overpay a stock is also low if the business model is stable.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of June 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. It's always good to own cheap stocks in order to gain a return. 

For sure, cheapness is a question of definition and in the end its growth that makes a stock cheap or expensive. 

I make each month a screen about the cheapest large capitalized dividend stocks. Below are screening criteria; they are very sternly in my view. I use this screen to find some attractive bargains. In a hot market it's ever hard to find low valuated stocks with great earnings growth perspectives. Especially within the recent months, the number of results decreased rapidly. Let’s look if the recent crisis 5/21 had some positive effects for the screen.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:
- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.
- P/E ratio under 15
- P/S and P/B ratio under 2
- Positive Dividends

Thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria. It’s exactly one stock less than last month. Two High-Yields are below the results and eight stocks have a current buy or better rating.

20 Cheapest Utility Dividend Stocks

In my screen I observe only shares with a market cap over USD 10 billion and a positive dividend yield. The 20 cheapest utilities have a valuation multiple between 9.2 and 16.96, calculated on expected earnings. Six stocks have a buy or better recommendation.

16 Cheap Latin America Stocks With Good Dividends

Large capitalized stocks from Latin America with low forward P/E’s and good dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

Yesterday I published a small list of the best yielding Asian dividend stocks with a low forward price to earnings ratio. Today I like to change the country and go forward with the Latin America region. 

It’s a hopeful region to seek for growth. If you have no idea where to find good yields in your own country, you should start to look aboard. But be careful, foreign stocks have higher risks because of the additional currency risk and the small diversified companies.

My criteria are still:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
- Positive Dividend Yield
- Forward P/E below 15

Sixteen stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which eight have a current buy or better recommendation.
