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...

The Cheapest Basic Material Dividend Stocks | 20 Low Priced Raw Material Shares

Basic material dividend stocks with low forward P/E’s originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Yesterday I read an interesting article about the valuation of the market. We got a gaining momentum. This year alone, the market rose around 15 percent and nobody scares this. The analysts from Bloomberg attempted to compare the situation with the second half of the 90ies where stocks started to boost until they burst. Historically we named this burst the technology bubble 2000.

The analyst wrote that the current valuation is still 28 below the mid 90ies. The market is not cheap but not expensive. Other investors talk about a reasonable pricing. They trust the market environment and the FED stimulus and they pay finally the high price.

I’m a long-term growth investor and I’ve also realized that most of the high-quality stocks are too expensive to get a good return. With P/E’s of 20 you will definitely make no greater return. Sure, it could be possible that your investment got a 30 P/E in five years or so but that’s not investing, it’s speculation.

As you might have seen, I started more screens with cheap price ratios as variables. I still try to seek the cheapest opportunities from the market, but there are only a dozen from each sector. Today I like to discover some ideas from the basic material sector. I’m focused on large caps in my screen.

Basic material stocks are still very cheap. The 20 stocks with lowest valuation can be purchased for a multiple between 4 and 9 of expected earnings. That’s very low compared to my other screens. But you should also know that valuation is a question of belief – Do you trust the earnings forecasts?

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.

18 Growth Stock Ideas From The Booming Emerging Markets | Best BRIC Dividend Picks

Dividend stocks with solid growth from the BRIC nations originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Over the recent decades, we have seen a significant change in the economic forces. China is getting more and more important in the global economic and is responsible for half of the world's economic growth. 

A large trading gap was created between the emerging markets and the developed nations. As a result, the old economies created huge mountains of debt and growth slowed while the unemployment rates exploded.

- Positive dividend yield

Seventeen companies fulfilled these criteria of which one stock has a high-yield and twelve are recommended to buy.
