20 Most Profitable Insurers To Consider

Insurers are under pressure due to Hurricane Irma. Let's take a look at the most profitable vertical integrated insurer in order to find some investment opportunities after the big sell-off which is still alive at the moment.

The industry is very broad developed. There are many insurers available on the market and barriers to entry seem very low. But the demand for insurance products is high and rises over years.

Warren Buffett loves insurance stocks and I love them too. Which stocks from the high return insurance stock list do you like?

A List Of All Recent Dividend Growth Stocks

A stock with a high yield doesn’t mean much if the dividend is cut or eliminated, and the stock price declines significantly.

Sometimes it is desirable to accept higher risk for a higher yield. Other times we may be accepting higher risk and are not being adequately compensated for the additional risk.

One measure of dividend sustainability is the ability of management to consistently raise their dividends each year. A first step is to observe all dividend growth stocks at a time when the raise is announced.

Below are all companies raising the dividend over the past week:

4 Dividend Stocks That Might Grow Earnings And Dividends Much Faster Than The S&P 500

Even after a 15% pullback, the S&P 500 yields just 2.3% today.

Which means if you buy an index fund today, and you never saw a dividend increase, it’d take you more than 40 years to get your initial investment back in cash.

Fortunately companies with growing earnings often do pass their higher profits along to shareholders. 

And you can really accelerate your returns by buying only those that increase their payouts annually.

Attached you will find 4 dividend stocks that are growing their earnings and dividends much faster than the S&P 500 at large.

They all pay a better-than-average dividend today, and have promising business prospects. Investors who buy these stocks today will likely soon enjoy an outsized yield on their initial investment, thanks to rapid payout growth.

Here are the results...

13 Dividend Stocks With The Highest Profitable Earnings Growth For The Future

Stocks of companies that initiate dividends tend to fare well. Shares of dividend payers raise an average of 15% in the 12 months following the announcement of the initial disbursement. 

Growing companies have better things to do with their money than dole it out as dividends. Reinvesting in the business is usually a better idea, especially if a firm is racking up high returns on invested capital (a measure of profitability). 

But a corporate that doesn’t pay money to shareholders is nothing worth. Only the stock market could reward the rising business structure with hopes to get all of the invested money back.

I'm a big fan of dividends and share buybacks. Better is the cash source of the company. If it generates tons of cash and don't need to put most of the money back into the company, it's one of the best investments if they have a stable business with big competitive advances.

Growth combined with value and predictable business models is one of my key premises when I put money into stocks.

Today I like to highlight those dividend paying stocks with the highest growth expectations for the next five years. Especially cyclic stocks have enormous EPS growth rates when they come out of their business cycle.

I like to exclude those companies by implementing a positive sales growth rule of the past years. In addition, the company should not have unsustainable high debt and a double digit Return on Investment ratio. Only a profitable growth makes sense over the long-term.

13 companies fulfilled these criteria of which four yield over 3 percent. Attached you can find the full list of the results with some fundamentals. I hope you find new inpirations and get a broader view on the market. If you like my articles, you can easily subscribe my free newsletter via RSS.

12 High-Yielding And Fairly Priced Dividend Stocks

Sometimes high dividends can be transient as the business may not be able to support it long term. In compiling this list, we have also considered the safety of the dividend and this is indicated by a high dividend coverage ratio. 

These companies have also grown their dividends at a nice clip over the last 5 years which shows their commitment to dividend payments and shareholder returns. 

While nothing is certain, this is a great list to start with and conduct further research in each of these stocks to figure out if they are good investments for your portfolio or not.

Attached you can find a list of stocks that might look attractive now. Each of the resutls pay a dividend over 3 percent yerly and have a low price-to-earnings ratio. Dividends grew by more than 10 percent over the past 5 years and those payments are coverd more than two times.

The value focus on the market moves more to Energy, Commodity and Energy related engineering stocks.

In addition, there are also a few retailing stocks that look cheap. Macy's, Kohls, GameStop, Wal-Mart, BestBuy, Bed Bath & Beyond are a few examples.

They could also be cheap for a reason: Online retailers like Amazon or ebay gaining more and more market share.

However, back to the results. Here are the 12 best results for value investors who look for dividend income.

6 Top Growth Heros With Potential To Lift Future Dividends

Only a growing dividend is a good dividend. That was one of my major rules when I started my dividend growth investing career. Since then, I quadrupled my net worth, only via dividend stock trading. That's a great feeling to see that it really works, but we must also consider that the markets are irrational valuated.

Today, I would like to share a new screen about dividend stocks that have beaten the market by sales and earnings growth numbers in the past. 

Not enough, they also have low debt, dividend payout ratios. Both are two major criteria to evaluate future dividend growth. These are the criteria in detail:

- Market cap is greater than USD 100 million

- Dividend yield is greater than 2%

- The payout ratio is less than 100%

- Total debt to equity is less than 1.00

- Average annual earnings growth for the past five years is greater than 25%

- Average annual sales growth for the past five years is greater than 10%

Six companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which four have a current buy or better rating.

20 Financials With The Highest YTD-Performance And Which Are The Cheapest Stocks

Financial dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to discover the financial sector by the best performing dividend stocks. Financial companies are in focus of main street investors.

We live in a span of a financial bubble and financial services stocks, banks as well as insurer are the main provider for the financial system. Not all of them benefited from the money easing by the fed but in some cases you can see a definitely increase in the company’s balance sheet. The risks rose and yields went down over the recent years. Today, we need much more money to receive the same capital income as 10 years before.

I personally do not own banks or insurer. I still have no opinion or idea about how they could reduce their risk exposure in the financial market. They are real black boxes for me.

However, the 20 best performing financial dividend stocks with a market capitalization over USD 300 million gained 54.50 percent to 97.22 percent since the beginning of the year. Nine of the results still have a buy or better recommendation.

20 Highly Shorted Financial Dividend Stocks And Which 11 Are Wrong

Financial dividend stocks with highest float short ratio originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Financials are in focus of many investors because they have a great possibility to leverage profits and they benefit if the economy starts to grow. 

But the whole sector is also very vulnerable for systematic risks. Due to the concatenation of many firms, a bail in of one company can hurt the whole system deeply.

This is also one of the reasons why financial stocks are very popular targets for short sellers. If there develops a rumor, it ends in a bank run.

Today I like to show you which stocks from the financial sector (excluded by ETFs) have the highest float short ratio. My only restriction is a market capitalization of more than USD 300 million.

The 20 top results have a float short ratio between 11.56 and 28.67 percent. The Insuring industry is the biggest industry followed by REITs. Despite the negative view of the investors, eleven of the results have a current buy or better recommendation.

41 Top Yielding Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In May 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Yields come down; the decay is full in process because of the growing stock prices. Dividend investors like me are seeking for higher yields at the market but the results getting rare.

My solution is to scout for lower yielding stocks with hope that the next dividend hike could lift the current yield above the 3 percent level. But it’s more work to predict dividends and your risk increases when you have missed some details.

I always have a big picture of stocks that go ex-dividend in the near future in order to get quick cash back from my investments. Sure it’s not a trading strategy because after the ex-dividend date, the stock is also traded lower in the amount of the dividend but it is a great information tool.

However, I screen every month some interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date within the next month. As result, I found 41 stocks with an average dividend yield of 4.98 percent. Three stocks have a double-digit yield and ten a high yield. 18 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.
