10 U.K. High-Quality Dividend Stocks With Free Cashflow Yields Over 4%

High quality investments existing all over the world but the most of them can be found on the mother country of capitalism, United States.

Asset prices have grown into unbelievable dimensions due to the expansive monetary policy. In addition, the dollar was also on the strong pace.

It does make sense to look for high-quality investments abroad if you believe that the current assets in the USA are overpriced in average.

Today, I like to give an overview about some high-yielders in terms of free cash flow from the UK. In addition, those stocks pay solid dividends with room to grow them for years.

These are the results....



7 Cheap International Dividend Stocks

I've found a new screener who selects stocks by several criteria and is more forward looking and more international. The database is from Reuters in my view but I'm not sure about that.

However, I run several screens based on yield and valuation ratios. Today I like to show you the cheapest stocks with top yields from the international market.

I've also included business stability measures into the screen. Below are the top results with a market capitalization of more than 10 billion USD. Which do you like?

9 International Dividend Dogs With Upside Potential

I've written in the past about stock opportunities from abroad and like to go forward with this theme today.

4 Great Dividend Value Picks From The Old Country

Large cap investors are looking for high liquidly stocks. Most investors think that they offer a better risk profile but the truth is that a higher liquidity and media presence avoid a bigger mispricing on the market. 

Recently, I wrote about domestic and foreign dividend paying small-and midcaps that could give investors a bigger opportunity for rising returns via a small capitalization. The disadvantage is definitely the higher risks.

With the Standard & Poor’s 500 having tripled off its financial-crisis low to trade near an all-time high, investors have started to look overseas for cheap stocks.

Big money flooded the European market within recent months and pushed the local stock markets in Europe.

While the Euro is still in a down trend, the current QE program of the ECB could lead to further fire power on the market.

Attached are 4 big names from the old country with deep values and solid dividends. Most of the results come from the healthcare sector, especially from the pharmacy industry.

These are the results:

10 Foreign Dividend Small Cap Ideas

I read an interesting article during my daily resarch about UK dividend stocks. The article introduced some small cap UK stocks with a promising dividend future.

"Apart from a dividend growth streak of at least six years, we looked for companies that are forecast to grow dividends next year and have generated double-digit compound earnings growth over the past five years. The stocks also needed to have a QualityRank of at least 75 (out of 100). This scores and ranks every company in the market using measures of profitability, financial strength and low risk - from zero (low quality) to 100 (high quality)."

Attached is the list from the article. Great work in my view. Which stocks do you like?

These are the top yielding results in detail:

5 High-Quality European Dividend Payers

When I read all these articles about investing strategies and look at the moves from big gurus, I see Europe as a dominant investing target.

As you might know, the ECB plans to embark on a bond-buying stimulus program totaling upwards of $1 trillion that will run through September 2016. 

Improving growth prospects and upcoming stimulus efforts should investors consider European stocks; more specifically, we want to focus on high-quality, dividend-paying stocks that conservative investors may want to gain exposure to in an effort to geographically diversify their portfolios.

Buying abroad make sense in some way. I've published some interesting articles around this topic in the past.

Below are five fundamentally-sound sound European dividend stocks that can help beef up your portfolio’s overall yield:

11 Canadian Dividend Stocks You Should Consider For Your Dividend Growth Portfolio

I'm a big fan of dividend growth stocks because they delivered me solid returns and a growing passive income over the recent years.

My main focus was on U.S. stocks, which is generally good because the American capitalism works fine but outside the US are also good stocks with a predictable business and stable growing dividends.

This week, I look at companies in Canada that have had a history of growing dividends, but more important have the capacity to continue to grow these dividends in the future.

A key measure of this sustainability can be observed through the payout ratio, which is the ratio of dividends paid to either cash flows or earnings.

A company paying out too high of a percentage in dividends is likely unable to continue to do so in the future. Attached are 11 of my top picks from the results.

I hope you can find there some new ideas. Please share your thoughts about the results. Thank you.

Here are some of my results...

Warning: Top Dividend Picks From Europe

Europe has a better investing environment as the United States. The ECB currently runs a 60 billion monthly quantitative easing program for the next months and a rising dollar makes European companies much cheaper than years before.

The big risk is still an ongoing decreasing euro due to problems in the Ukraine and debt negotiations in Greece. If the country should leave the Euro zone, other countries could follow but in the end, I believe that makes the area stronger. A bigger risk is to keep overspending countries with high debt in the Euro zone.

Today I run a market screener about European dividend stocks with simple criteria:

- Positive Dividend Yield
- Over 2 Billion Market Cap
- EPS growth for the next half-decade above 5 percent yearly
- Low forward P/E
- Debt-to-equity under 1

13 stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which two stocks are High-Yields. Below are my 4 favorites with a detailed view on the fundamentals. I hope you have some fun by discovering my results and will leave a few comments. Thank you!

These are my favorites:

These 15 European Dividend Stocks Could Gain Mostly From A Rising Dollar

15 Europe Dividend Stocks Gaining Mostly From A Rising Dollar originally appeared at long-term-investments.blogspot.comOne growing trend on the market is the gaining U.S. Dollar Index. 

The dollar is becoming more and more expensive against major currencies on the world and a growing number of companies announce to get hurt by higher rates.

A second trend is the overvaluation of the market, caused by the monetary easing of the FED. Stocks traded at P/E levels over 20. That's a big number and not justifiable with slow growth.

Today I like to show you some of the stocks from Europe that could benefit from an ongoing rising dollar. Those stocks sell a lot of stuff in U.S. Dollar.

Attached is a small list of 15 companies, headquartered in Europe with annual sales from U.S., North America or Canada above 50 percent of total sales.

19 Safe And Top Yielding Stock Ideas From Abroad

When I discover the news about stock markets, I can see a big trend of money which is moving into the U.S. investing space.

P/E multiples are rising and the dollar is gaining nearly on a daily basis but this trend should not work for years, it’s a technical driven reaction.

What I see is that more and more investors look oversea for new investment targets. Europe is one of the favorite investment areas if you believe that the problem of the 28 nation currency is recovering and the economy gets more grips.

Today I like to show you the best ADR dividend stocks on the American Capital market with a solid earnings growth prediction.

41 UK Dividend Growth Kings You Must Know

Recently, I stumbled on Twitter and found an interesting tweet about a UK stock that has hiked currently its dividend. 

As you might know, I love stocks that increase dividends, not because I'm an event driven investor, but because I love it to see that the company has a good running operational business and wants to share its success with their shareholders.

The tweet came from a Guy named @UKDividendKings. I check out his site and saw his impressing work. He compiled all stocks from the FTSE 350 with more than 10 consecutive years of dividend growth in a list. 


These are his detailed criteria:

- FTSE 350 member (excluding Trusts)
- £1bn+ market cap
- Minimum of 10 years consecutive, unbroken dividend raises – no cuts, no holding static


41 UK-Dividend Kings

For sure, I never thought that there were so many companies with a long history of consecutive dividend growth. I knew that the American market offers around 500 or a few companies but 41 in the UK?


Well, back to the list, I love the overview with dividend cover ratio and picked a few companies that I personally like or I often hear from. 


Tesco is not on the list but pays one of the highest yields but the market rumors that Tesco will cut future dividends. There are also rumours about Vodafone's dividend safeness. 

The list shows a dividend cover ratio of 1.59.

Stocks are not cheap


Everybody tells it and it's somehow true: stocks aren't cheap for the moment. With P/E's above 20 or more, the market is definitely highly valuated.

My favorite UK-Dividend Kings are...

Canadian Telecom BCE Joins The Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio

On the last trading day of the week, I opened a new position within the telecom sector. I purchased 25 shares of the Canadian telecom and communication company BCE. BCE yields at 5.11 percent and as a low forward P/E of 14.37. The current P/E is also below 15 at 14.80.

Earnings growth of 3.1 percent is predicted for the next five years. I also bought the smaller rival Rogers Communications but the position is still 3.41 percent in the negative area. Behind Rogers and AT&T, it's my third stake withint the telecom sector.

The corporate provides communications solutions to residential, business, and wholesale customers primarily in Canada. The company offers local and long distance telephone services under the Bell Home Phone brand; direct-to-home satellite television (TV) services under the Bell TV name; Internet protocol TV services under the Bell Fibe TV brand; and personal video recorders and online access services. It also provides data services, including Internet access services under the Bell Internet name; Internet protocol based services; and information and communications technology solutions. In addition, the company engages in the rental, sale, and maintenance of business terminal equipment; sale of TV set-top boxes; and provision of network installation and maintenance services for third parties.

--------------------------------------
For readers who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.
--------------------------------------

The position cost $1,111.50 and should bring over $50 bucks in dividends over the year. The full-year estimated dividend income is now at $2,703.40. Only $300 dollars are necessary to hit the goal of $3,000 by the end of this year. With cash of $21,707.22 it is still possible to reach this goal.

Earnings and Dividends of BCE, Inc.

The portfolio holdings are up 10.91 percent since the date of funding and buying in average. Due to the low buying process and high cash value over the past year, the complete portfolio performance is only 10.09 percent.
