10 Stocks Looking Cheap Now During The Cycle

The S&P 500 is already off more than 8%, which means the benchmark index has lost more than 1.7% per week on average for every full week of trading.

If anything, it’s highly unlikely that markets will keep falling so quickly — at that pace, most of the stock market would evaporate by the end of the year.

But any continued losses are unwelcome losses, so investors are rapidly fleeing to more risk-light assets. The problem is the 10-year Treasury yield now yields a mere 1.74%, and many traditional safe-haven stocks have actually enjoyed buying amid the downturn, helping to drive down their yields.

Investors do have a few options for meaningful yield, though. The very downturn that has investors scurrying to find safe-havens has created a bevy of cheap dividend stocks to buy, most of which yield about two or three times the miserable yield on the 10-year.

Here are the results...

5 Cheap Stocks Guru Investors Are Buying

The P/E ratio is a strong indicator of whether a stock is a good value, and the lower the better. For this reason, many of the stocks with the lowest P/E ratios are broadly held by the investors.

However, a low P/E ratio requires further investigation, as the company could be in terminal decline, belong to an industry with endemic problems, or have other unfavorable valuations that make it unattractive as an investment.

 Below are 5 of the cheapest stocks that were bought by investment guru's within the recent quarter. Four of the results pay a dividend. It's only a first step for further research but in my view, there are some interesting stocks on the list.

These are the results:

20 Stocks Hiked Dividends Last Week | A Full Compilation Of The Best Growth Stocks

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Within the past week, 20 companies announced a dividend hike. I’ve the feeling that the number of hikes go down for a few weeks. I remember times when 70 stocks a week hiked its dividends. But I think it’s only a span and the number will rise in the future.

The most promising hike was in my view made by Raytheon. The military supplier for the government suffers under the fear of budget cuts. The current hike is a clear statement to investors that they have strong fundamentals and could hike dividends despite potential sales and earnings declines.

Another stock with a wonderful growth announcement was Air Products and Chemicals. The major diversified chemical company will raise dividend payments to shareholders by 10.9 percent. A reader of my blog asks me recently for my view about the stock. He thought that APD has a great market position in the H and Helium market and could start to boom if prices go up.

Below 20 stocks with dividend growth from last week are 15 with a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 21.92 percent. Linked is a full free list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.

Below the results are two High-Yields; 11 companies have a current buy or better rating.

The Best Yielding S&P 500 Dividend Stocks Below Book Value

S&P 500 With Low Price-To-Book Ratios And Highest Yields Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The amount of equity is very important in order to identify the companies’ values. Often, there is a great difference between the market capitalization and the book value of a company. The gap is explainable with a high profitable business that doesn’t need much money to finance the business operations. Otherwise, the market expects better future perspectives and market conditions of which the company should benefit.

No rarity, but there are also stocks below book value. In this case you get for a dollar of your investment more than a dollar in the company’s assets if there is no asset bubble.

I screened the S&P 500 by stocks below book value and yields over two percent inflation target rate. 56 stocks fulfilled these criteria but only 17 have a yield of more than two percent. Three of the results are high yields and ten are currently recommended to buy.
