Healthcare
dividend stocks with highest beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I am a
conservative investor and try to minimize my risk.
This strategy is necessary
if you have a larger amount of money to take care of or you begin to cry when
you lose 10 percent on your book value. The second disadvantage is that you
lose performance in a strong up moving market.
Since 2009, there were nearly no
bigger corrections at the market but with low beta and safe haven stocks, your
performance would be only half of the return from the markets. What you need to get a push for your portfolio is a high beta stock. I don’t recommend buying
them because it’s a definitely riskier strategy and nobody knows when the
market turns into a bearish mood.
However,
let’s take a look at the high fly momentum stocks from the healthcare sector.
Those are stocks with the highest beta ratio from the sector. They
have a beta between 1 and 2. With focus on the dividend paying stocks, only 17
stocks from the healthcare sector pay a dividend and being correlated with the market
by a factor of up to 2.
One High-Yield
is below the results and 16 have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.
Healthcare
dividend stocks with best yields and big growth perspectives originally

The healthcare
sector is one of my favorite sectors behind the consumer goods sector. I love
stocks from the medical equipment and appliances industry. Sure they offer a
lower dividend but most of the stocks are major diversified in terms of international
sales and they have a wonderful growth perspective.
Stocks
from the whole healthcare sector have a total market capitalization of USD
66.298 billion. The average stock from the sector has a P/E of 26.63 and yield
at 3.32 percent. These are very attractive figures from the earnings
perspective. Debt is also high with a long-term debt to equity ratio of 88.63.
As a result, the return on equity amounts to 17.61 percent.
Today
I like to show you the best yielding healthcare growth opportunities at the
market. I screened all healthcare stocks with a positive dividend payment and
double-digit earnings per share growth for the next five years.
Nearly
40 companies fulfilled these criteria but some of them pay only very low
dividends. Below is a small list of 20 stocks with the highest yield. Eleven of
the results have a buy or better rating.
