11 Cheapest Healthcare Stocks To Consider

Cheapest Healthcare Stocks to Consider by Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Cheap stocks are necessary for good total returns. If the company is in a sector with rosy perspectives too, there could no better investment.

I screened the healthcare sector by stocks with 3 pricing ratios. At first, I selected the forward price to earnings ratio and chose a value of less than 15. This ratio considers the future growth and is in my view a better indicator than the current price to earnings ratio. Second, I used the price to sales ratio with a value of under 1. This ratio shows me how many stocks are cheaper than the actual market capitalization. It also delivers me many low margin stocks, such stocks have in my view margin upside potential. Finally, I sorted my results by highest dividend yield.

As result, I had 59 interesting stocks of which 11 pay dividends. Nearly half of my results came from the healthcare plans industry.

Here are my 3 most promising stocks from the screening results:

Best Dividends In Healthcare - Birth control

5 High Yielding Birth Control Stocks By Stockerblog. An Institute of Medicine medical advisory panel recently recommended to the Health and Human Services Department that contraception should qualify as preventive care. Since insurers must fully cover the cost of preventative care under the new health care law, then everyone would have access to free birth control. No decision has been made yet by the Obama administration.

Here are some stocks with engagements within the birthcontrol market:


Merck (MRK) - Yield of 4.2%, and a forward PE of 9.1


Pfizer Incorporated (PFE) - 4.0% yield with a forward PE of 8.5


Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) - It trades at 12.3 times forward earnings and provides a yield of 3.4%.


Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (TEVA) - The stock trades at 8.3 times forward earnings and pays a yield of 1.7%.


Church & Dwight Co., Inc. (CHD) - The stock sports a forward price to earnings ratio of 16.9, with a 0.8% yield.

Best Pharmaceutical Shares For Income Investors

The 4 Best Pharmaceutical Stocks For Income Investors By StreetAuthority. Pharmaceutical stocks tend to be more recession-resistant because of steady demand for prescription medicines, which is growing 5% a year due to an aging population in developed countries and rising health care spending in emerging markets such as India and China. The bigger drug companies generate lots of cash flow, steady dividend growth and carry healthy dividend yields.

The main hurdle facing pharmaceutical stocks right now is patent expirations on some big-name prescription drugs. Investors worry these companies won't be able to turn out new drugs quickly enough to maintain high margins. However, many of these expirations are years away. In the meantime, the big pharmaceutical companies are stepping up merger activity, particularly in the biotech sector, and acquiring new blockbuster drugs. Also, even if some medicines lose patent protection, the larger drug companies would still have many other products that generate billions of dollars in sales, and plenty of cash to cover future dividend payments.

Here are the pharmaceutical shares with dividend yield figures:

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ)
Yield: 3.4%

Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS)
Yield: 3.2%

Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE)
Yield: 4.0%

Abbot Laboratories (NYSE: ABT)
Yield: 3.6%

3 Largest Producers Of Diabetes Care Products With Good Dividend Yields

3 Dividend Paying Pharma Stocks That Will Profit Off of Rising Obesity Rate By Power Hedge. It is a fact that obese people require more healthcare services and have higher healthcare costs than the average person. The United States currently spends approximately 16% of its GDP on healthcare and the continued expansion of the obesity epidemic will likely swell this further. This is not a good trend for either consumers or for governments.

There is, however, one group that can benefit from this trend. I have already mentioned the link between obesity and maladies such as heart disease and diabetes. Companies that provide products that treat these conditions will be the beneficiaries of the aforementioned increased healthcare spending.

These are three largest producers of diabetes-care products:

Novo Nordisk (NVO), 1.51% yield

Eli Lilly (LLY), 5.11% yield

Sanofi (SNY), 3.49% yield
