20 Cheap Dividend Contenders With Real Low Debt Figures

Dividend Contenders with low debt and cheap price ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend Contenders have raised their dividend payments over 10 years in a row but not more than 25 consecutive years. There are over 200 stocks with such an impressive dividend growth history but not all of them are really good. Every stock has a something that an investor loves and hates. The perfect stock does not exist.

Today I would like to screen the Dividend Contenders category by cheap stocks (forward P/E below 15) with the lowest debt ratios. For passive investors, it's very important to own low leveraged growth stocks because they can expect further dividend hikes. If you purchase them at reasonable prices, you can increase the possibility for a good return.

Twelve of the 20 cheap Contenders with very low debt to equity ratios have a buy or better rating and four yield over three percent. Many insurer and banks are on the list. The financial sector is very strong.

12 Cheapest Dividend Stocks From Canada

Cheapest Dividend Stocks From Canada Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Everybody knows that the economy in Canada is a commodity based one and not as much shaking as the American consumer based economy. On America’s stock markets are 181 companies with a headquarter in Canada. 66 of these companies pay dividends but not all of them are already cheap.

However I’ve tried to screen the market by the cheapest Canada stocks with a listing in America. All stocks should have a current P/E ratio of less than 15, a P/S ratio of under two and a positive dividend yield. Exactly twelve companies fulfilled these criteria of which two are high yields. Six are recommended to buy.
