Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Week

All Dividend Growers From The Past Week And My Favorites

Have you ever noticed those that most vehemently attack a buy-and-hold strategy really don't understand how the strategy works? 

They confuse a buy-and-hold strategy with day trading with a longer duration. A true implementation of buy-and-hold includes a focus on blue-chip stocks with a sustainable advantage, along with a reasonable asset allocation framework. 

One sign of a blue-chip stock is a long string of dividend increases. Below all companies that have recently raised the bar by increasing their cash dividends

In total, 71 stocks announced a higher dividend of which 14 have a high yield (over 5%) and 40 a cheap forward P/E (less than 15).

Attached you will also find my 19 favorite stocks from the list. Each stock has solid fundamentals and earnings growth potenital while the debt situation is acceptable.

Here are the stocks:

12 Solid Dividend Stock Bets For High Income Investors

Dividend-paying stocks have been bid up in recent years as investors seek alternatives to low bond yields. 

But even factoring in the higher valuations, at least one research firm insists that certain dividend-paying stocks still make sense considering the alternatives and the likelihood that monetary policies at various central banks will keep a lid on interest rates for a while. 

Stocks with strength in their balance sheets and the reliability of their dividends, could be seen as more risk-free than debt is.

Attached I've compiled a few stocks that offer a high degree of dividend safeness with room to grow them over time.

Each of the results offer a dividend yield over 3 percent.

Here are the results...

20 Safe Stocks To Survive A High Volatility While Receiveing 3% Plus Dividends

Every time it seems safe to go back in the water, oil gets hammered and the stock market dives again. One very good sign is that most of Wall Street is as bearish now as they were in 2009, and after a correction to open the year in January, things are very negative to say the least. 

Given the sparsity of good income investment alternatives now, especially with interest rates continuing to plummet, one good alternative for gun-shy investors is conservative stocks that pay big dividends.

Attached you can find a few stocks from our research that might offer a special hedge in times of high market volatility and rising anxious.

Each of the attached results has a market capitalization over 10 billion and a very low beta of less than half of the market.

Finally I've only listed those stocks with the highest dividend yield.

Here are the 20 best yielding low beta dividend large cap stocks...

20 Top Yielding Electic Utilites With Sustainable Dividend Payouts For Growth

Well-managed electric utilities are excellent candidates for a dividend reinvestment portfolio. Typically, electric utilities generate lots of excess cash and pay it out as dividends to shareholders.

But not all utilities are equal. Some pay high amounts of their net income to shareholders in form of dividends, other only a small part. Be very wary of stocks with high dividend yields and high payout ratios. They are not sustainable and increase the debt level of the company over the long-term.

I'm looking for those utilities with low dividend payouts in order to get sustainable dividend payments over years that might grow, year over year for decades.

Attached you can find a detailed list of 20 electric utilities that might give investors a small hedge due to a solid dividend growth history and sustainable dividend payouts.

These are the 4 top yielding results in detail...

20 Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4% And A Low Risk Profile

Dividend yields greater than 5% look like an easy way to grab more current income on the surface, but dividend income is just part of the total return equation.

If a stock with a 6% dividend yield sees its price cut in half, an investor living off dividends in retirement would have been better off purchasing a lower yielding stock with less business risk and volatility, occasionally selling shares to meet his or her cash flow needs.

Remember, the market is quite efficient most of the time, so think first before chasing a high yield dividend stock that appears to be too good to be true. It often is.

With that said, we dug through our database of thousands of dividend stocks to search for companies offering a dividend yield greater than 4% with low stock price volatility, above average dividend safety and enough dividend growth to protect retirees’ purchasing power.

These characteristics don’t guarantee that these stocks won’t decline in price, but it’s a good place to start the hunt for income ideas to research on a deeper level.

Attached you can find a few of those stocks with a dividend yield of more than 4% yearly and low beta and vola ratios.

These are the highest yielding results...

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.

16 Cheap And High-Yielding Stocks From The S&P 500

S&P 500 stocks with low earnings multiples and high dividends originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I remember times when the popular S&P 500 index had more than 15 constituents of High-Yields. Today we only got seven!

Yes, market getting more and more expensive. The S&P 500 is up 22.85 percent this year and marked All-Time-Highs. In times when P/E’s of 20+ are the new valuation standard, it’s more important to keep an eye on cheaply priced stocks.

That’s the main reason why I would like to produce a screen from the mainstream index S&P 500 by the cheapest and highest yielding stocks measured with a forward P/E of less than 15 and a dividend yield over 4 percent.

Only sixteen corporate stocks fulfilled these criteria of which five have a buy or better rating. Utilities are the dominating investment category.

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date.

A full list of all stocks with payment dates can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks August 13, 2013. In total, 76 stocks go ex dividend - of which 29 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 4.75%.
