8 Tech Stocks With Growing Dividends

These days, larger tech companies are much more likely to offer dividends and other payouts in addition to capital appreciation. That can be good news for income-seeking investors, assuming a company’s fundamentals are sound.

Still, tech stocks as a whole don’t have a high yield compared with other groups like utilities or telecom. The tech stocks in the S&P 500 yield about 1.4%, one of the lowest-yielding sectors and well below the broader market’s average of about 2%. Utilities yield about 3.4%.

Attached you will find a couple of tech stocks with rising dividends and yields over 2% that could deliver solid returns in the future.

10 Best Stocks With Buyback Yields Up To 24.9%

Investors love companies that pay dividends. But dividends aren’t the only way firms send money to shareholders. They can also buy back their own stock.

Companies that aggressively repurchase their shares tend to outperform the market. 


A portfolio made up of the 10% of stocks with the highest buyback yields, rebalanced each year, was the best performer over the long term.


It gained an average of 13.7% annually from 1927 through to the end of 2009. In comparison, the market gained 10.5% per year over the same period and stocks with the lowest 10% of buyback yields climbed only 5.9% per year.


Buybacks, also called share repurchases, are a controversial financial tool. Some companies truly have more cash then they need so they return it to shareholders by buying existing shares in the open market.


This buying support and reduction in outstanding shares helps increase the value of remaining shares, in a fairly tax efficient manner. 


However, companies may also use buybacks as a means to boost earnings per share in order to please short-term investors, analyst estimates, and executives looking to increase their bonuses. Nonetheless, the buyback trend is still going strong.


Attached I've compiled 10 of the S&P 500 stocks with the biggest Buyback Yield.


Here are the best companies by buyback yield...

10 Dividend Stocks For A Rate Rise

Recent economic data could cause the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. When this will happen is anybody's guess. 

When it does happens, however, stocks with big valuations could see a lot more volatility.

In building a portfolio or planning for retirement, we need to be ready. Here are some options.

This group of safe dividend stocks won't necessarily impress you with their dividend yields, but they offer attractive value. The key is their low payout ratios and rapid dividend growth.

If and when interest rates increase, these 10 dividend stocks could be a reasonably safe place to be.

Here are the results....

10 Stocks With The Highest Buyback Yield

Investing in companies returning cash to shareholders via a combination of buybacks and dividends has proven to be an effective long-term strategy relative to the market and other uses of cash.

Since 1991, a sector-neutral basket of the S&P 500 stocks with the highest trailing combined dividend and buyback yields has returned an annualized 15.7% versus 13.8% for the top capex + R&D spenders and 12.8% for S&P 500. It seems this could be a great way to invest.

What is a stock purchase?

A stock repurchase occurs when a company asks stockholders to tender their shares for repurchase by the company. This is an alternate way for a company to increase value for stockholders. First, a repurchase can be used to restructure the company's capital structure without increasing the company's debt load.

Additionally, rather than a company changing its dividend policy, it can offer value to its stockholders through stock repurchases, keeping in mind that capital gains taxes are lower than taxes on dividends.

Advantages of a Stock Repurchase

Many companies initiate a share repurchase at a price level that management deems a good entry point. This point tends to be when the stock is estimated to be undervalued. If a company knows its business and relative stock price well, would it purchase its stock price at a high level? The answer is no, leading investors to believe the management perceives its stock price to be at a low level.

Unlike a cash dividend, a stock repurchase gives the decision to the investor. A stockholder can choose to tender his shares for repurchase, accept the payment and pay the taxes. With a cash dividend, a stockholder has no choice but to accept the dividend and pay the taxes.

At times, there may be a block of shares from one or more large shareholders that could come into the market, but the timing may be unknown. This problem may actually keep potential stockholders away since they may be worried about a flood of shares coming onto the market and lessening the stock's value. A stock repurchase can be quite useful in this situation.

However, let's come back to the real facts from the market. Attached you will find 10 stocks with the highest buyback yield of the past twelve months. The yield starts at 14.9% and ends at nearly 40%. Great values.

Here they are sorted by yield...

8 Stocks To Own For The Next 30 Years

What makes it so hard to understand what investors should do for the next 50 years is that we have an extremely hard time imagining possibilities that far into the future.

Look back at the differences between 1966 and today. Technology and societal trends are changing so fast that anyone transported from that time to today would barely comprehend the things we have done in this relatively short time.

For investors, though, this is where some of the greatest gains can be made, by buying and holding companies with rock-solid competitive advantages that will stand the test of time.

So we put the challenge of finding stocks that look to be great investments over the next 50 years. Here's what we find...

12 Dividend Stocks To Buy And Hold For The Next 20 Years

According to legendary investor Warren Buffett, the best holding period is forever. While most investors may not have quite that long of a time horizon, the key to successful investing is buying high-quality stocks at reasonable prices and holding them for a very long time. With that in mind, I come up with some ideas for stocks that can be safely held for the next 20 years.

You might agree with me or not but growth is more important for this issue. Only a stocks with solid growth perspectives could give you a price appreciation.

That's also the reason why I'm looking for stocks with growth. My second criteria are profitability. Only a company that scales it's money making machine could create values, not a stock that wides losses. That's easily to understand.

Attached you find my 12 favorite dividend paying growth stocks. Which do you like from the list?

Here are the results...

12 Oversold 3%+ Yielding Dividend Stocks As Buying Opportunity

I love it when the market is anxious and everybody sells stocks. That's the moment when panic and emotions rule the manner of actors.

But when stocks fall, it does not necessary mean that stocks are bad. Those moments can change into a great buy opportunity for long-term investors.

When the markets are in panic, investors will sell their stocks below the intrinsic value. Today I like to introduce a few dividend stocks that seem oversold by several technical indicators. I've only focused my efforts on higher capitalized stocks with regular dividend payments.

Dividends are small risk compensation. For sure, if you get only 0.5 percent per quarter, it's a very small compensation but if you buy only stocks with a solid, valuable and predictable business, your risk compensation develops to yield compensation.

These are the top results....

8 Bargains To Look For In A Hot Market

Now, following a six-year bull market, the markets look like inflated valuations in traditional income areas such as real-estate investment trusts, master limited partnerships and utilities. 

The highest yields on the stock market are paid by telecoms, tobacco stocks, MLPs, REITs or other high debt-loaded or risky business models. But those yields are falling if you look at the Reynolds yield which was a few years ago over 5 percent is now close to the 3 percent ratio.

I've written in the past about stocks that might pay a higher dividend in the future. In my view, it's much better to buy low yielding stocks with potential to hike future dividends. Not only by rising payouts, more by growing the revenues and income.

I’m more of a dividend-aware investor than just a dividend investor, and I don’t own yield for yield’s sake.

Today I like to introduce 10 lower yielding stocks with a high potential to hike dividends. My main criteria are low debt, little payout ratios and future growth.

4 Great Dividend Growth Stocks With Several Break-Out Signals

Do you know the feeling of when you buy a stock and nothing happens over years? 


It's very disappointing to put money into a great stock for that you have done the right research and nothing happens because the market doesn’t discover the potential of your target company.

Timing is also important for stock investors. On the capital market, you can make 100 percent in only six months if you catch the right purchasing time and you can make the same performance over ten years. Both is possible but its definitely better to take the first option.

I'm personally a long-term growth investor and more focused on fundamentals than on technical indicators but those can help you to receive a better return.


Today I try to find some stocks that have risen over the short and mid-term. I used a 20 day to 200 day average to get some great stock ideas.
These are my fundamental criteria:

Dividend yield over 2%.
Dividend growth rate over the past five years greater than 5%. 
The dividend payout is under 75%. 
The forward P/E is below 15. 
The PEG ratio is under 1.50. 
Total debt to equity under 0.40.

16 Cheap Dividend Stocks With Low Debt To Boost Share Repurchases

Dividend paying stocks with low debt ratios and big share repurchases originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love dividend growth stocks and dividend paying companies in general but it’s also important to see that the corporate buys its own shares back.

The process of share repurchases is a special way to give shareholder’s money back in a very tax-optimized way. 

A low yielding stock with a 2 percent yield can lift the total yield via stock repurchases to 4 percent or so. For sure, share buybacks are no cash yields on your trading account; it’s an indirect way to reduce the current shares and lift the potential share price.

There is an index outside that covers some of the best stocks with share repurchases that bought at least 5 percent of its outstanding shares within the past 12 months.

Today I would like to screen the Buyback Achievers index by the best yielding stocks with a low forward P/E as well as a very low debt-to-equity ratio. Low debt is a good indicator for potential growth or additional share buybacks.

These are my criteria in detail:
- Positive Dividend Yield
- Forward P/E under 15
- Long-Term Debt-To-Equity below 0.2
- Member of the Buyback Achievers Index

In total, sixteen Buyback Achievers Index stocks fulfilled the above mentioned restrictions of which ten have a current buy or better rating.
