15 Cheap High Beta Industrial Dividend Stocks

Industrial dividend stocks with high beta ratios at a cheap valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love it to look for cheap stocks but bargains at the market are really hard to find especially because of the hundreds of thousands metrics you can use to identify an undervalued stock.

A major criterion which is often used by many investors is the price to earnings ratio. It tells you how many years do you need to get your investment back in corporate earnings. The lower the ratio, the cheaper your investment is. A P/E of 10 also means that the earnings yield is at 10 percent.
This month, I’ve created an article serial about high beta stocks. Those stocks are stronger correlated than the overall market and tend to outperform the broad S&P 500 in bullish times. They also tend to lose performance when the markets are going down.

Today I would like to screen high beta dividend stocks from the industrial sector with a cheap forward P/E ratio. Only fifteen stocks from the sector fulfilled these criteria and eleven of them are currently recommended to buy.

17 Industrial Dividend Stocks With The Strongest Expected Earnings Growth

Industrial dividend stocks with the highest sector growth rates, originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The industrial sector has a total market capitalization of USD 73.1 trillion. The average P/E is 17.19 and yields are at a 2.02 percent rate.

Industrials and conglomerates are one of the top sectors where investors put their money within the recent months. The whole sector is up 12.8 percent on a 3-month basis and 16.6 percent over the recent half-year.

I personally believe that most of the stocks are cyclic and their performance depends on a healthy economic growth. But not everything is bad. I personally own some industrials and like to increase my exposure the sector. The only question is when. 

In 2009, I bought shares of General Electric when they started to struggle with financing problems of their money division. It was close to the after-peak of the financial crisis. As of now, GE has not fully recovered but my unrealized return on the stock is far over 100 percent.

Growth perspectives from GE are still good. The market expects a double-digit growth for the next years. Today, I like to show you some other dividend stocks from the industrial sector with an expected earnings growth over 10 percent. Below is a small list of the best yielding stocks with a market capitalization over USD 10 billion. 14 of the results are currently recommended to buy.

20 Most Recommended Industrial Dividend Stocks | Top Stock Buy List

Industrial goods stocks with highest buy rating originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Today I like to finalize my January posts of the highest recommended stocks from the eight most important sectors of the economy. Industrial goods are the latest sector to discover.

The industrial sector is a small one with 359 related companies and only 172 of them are dividend stocks. The average dividend yield amounts to 2.01 and the P/E ratio has a value of 24.59 in average.

I personally have only a small share of industrial stocks in my private portfolios. The main reason is that the sector has many cyclic companies and stocks from the sector are often very capital intensive. They need huge amounts of money to keep the business running and growing. As a result, dividend payments are low.

But there are also some great growth stories. I own shares of United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. My biggest position is General Electric on which I have 104% unrealized gains. Not enough, I have around 10 -20 additional stocks on my watch list.

Below is a small compilation of the 20 highest recommended dividend stocks with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. What do you think about the list of the most recommended industrial goods dividend stocks? Do you own some of them? Please let me know and leave a comment in the box below.
