15 Large Cap Cash Machines With Big And Safe Dividends

To identify companies with hefty yields that are “safe”—that is, the dividends are unlikely to be trimmed—We screened the S&P for stocks yielding at least 3%.

We excluded energy and mining companies and other outfits tied to commodity prices, as the recent bear market in commodities makes further dividend cuts likely, even though oil has begun to rebound.

We also screened for companies whose free-cash-flow yield—free cash flow divided by stock price—exceeds their dividend yield. 

Free cash, which is what’s left after a company makes all of the necessary investments to run its business, is an important measure of stability and potential growth, as well as the source of dividend payments. 

The more of it, the better—and the more likely a company is to maintain and, better yet, grow its payout.

These results apeared on the screen:

5 Technology Dividend Stocks With Better Dividends Than J&J, Procter And Exxon Mobil

The investing landscape has changed quite a bit for dividend investors. 

Those seeking high yields in equities had to traditionally invest in the financial, utilities, telecom, and consumer-staples sectors.

Today, investors can also find attractive yields in an industry traditionally devoid of dividend payers -- technology.

By the end of 2003, only 22 information-technology stocks paid a dividend. Today, that list is up to 185.

Of those companies, 87 are yielding at least 2.17%, the current dividend yield of the S&P 500. Some of the more popular names are paying out well over 3%.

Here are five technology stocks paying a dividend higher than Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and ExxonMobil.

These 20 Stocks Serve The Most Cash Reserves

Stocks with a high level of cash are better positioned in my view. They have enough room to think about growth opportunities and don't need to manage their debt.

Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Cisco and Oracle had amassed $504bn of cash by the end of 2015, nearly a third of the total $1.7tn held on the balance sheets of US non-financial companies, according to a new report from rating agency Moody’s. The top 50 holders accounted for $1.1tn of that amount.

Income investors are seeking for growth, high yields and stability in dividend payments.

The major indices like S&P 500 or Dow Jones summarize a lot of high-quality stocks at a high level of safeness.

But most of the stocks are also highly valuated while sales growth is only modest.

If we look at the bigger brother, we come back to Russell 2000. The Russell 3000 Index comprises the companies in the large-cap Russell 1000 Index and the small-cap Russell 2000 names.

10 Good Dividend Stocks To Be Oversold And Ready For A Rebound

Today I've focussed my research on oversold dividend stocks.  I've also implemented a few restrictions: My yield effort was at least 3 percent and the debt-to-equity should be normal, not overleveraged.

Stocks become oversold for many reasons, but the basic reason that I care about as a trend follower is that there were more sellers than buyers. Sure, this is simplistic, but why make trading any more difficult than it has to be?

Once a stock becomes oversold, I try to identify when buyers are moving back into the stock for a possible oversold bounce. 

One way to identify an oversold stock is to follow the relative strength index once it gets near or below 30. Another way is to look for a stock that's had an extended downtrend. 

Traders have to remember that oversold can always become more oversold.

That's why it's important to follow the price action and look for oversold stocks that have a probability--not a guarantee--of changing their trend and potentially spiking higher off depressed levels. 

These types of trades can yield big gains quickly, but remember that the price action is more important than the simple fact the stock is extremely oversold.

Attached you find the results of 10 oversold dividend stocks from my research screen...

10 Best Stocks To Start Your Dividend Growth Strategy

Dividend investing can add significantly to returns over a lifetime, so beginner investors are right to want to own some dividend-paying stocks in their portfolios.

A company that pays consistent, rising dividends is likely a financially healthy firm that generates consistent cash flow (this cash, after all, is where the dividends come from). 

These companies are often stable, and their stock prices tend to be less volatile than the market in general. As such, they may be lower risk than companies that do not pay dividends and that have more volatile price movements.

Because many dividend-paying stocks are lower risk, the stocks are an appealing investment for both younger people looking for a way to generate income over the long haul, and for people approaching retirement - or who are in retirement - who desire a source of retirement income.

Let's say you're looking for a few things: high-quality, solid dividend cash flow and a reasonable valuation. To meet those tests, you could think about something like this:

- Rated A++ in financial strength,
- 3%+ dividend yield and
- P/E ratio under 15.

Now to be sure this is limited, and it may not be exactly what you're after. Yet it does give you a starting point. When I use those metrics, I go from thousands of securities down to less than a dozen:

Here are the results...

12 Top Yielding Stocks With Potential To Double Dividends

Dividend stocks can be the foundation of a great retirement portfolio. Not only do the payments put money in your pocket, which can help hedge against any dips in the stock market, they're usually a sign of a financially sound company.

Dividends also give investors a painless opportunity to reinvest in a stock, thus compounding gains over time. However, not all income stocks live up to their full potential.

Using the payout ratio -- i.e., the percentage of profits a company returns to its shareholders as dividends -- we can get a good bead on whether a company has room to increase its dividend. Ideally, we like to see healthy payout ratios between 50% and 75%.

I run a screen to find some good stock ideas that could offer upside in terms of dividend payments.

My criteria were low payout (under 50%), low debt (under 0.5), solid growth (over 5% for the next five years) and finally a dividend yield over 3 percent. 12 stocks keep on the screen. Each has a market cap over 2 billion.

Here are 12 income stocks with payout ratios currently below 50% that could potentially double their dividends in the future easily....

4 High-Quality Dividend Growth Stocks With Initial Yields Over 3.5% To Buy And Hold Forever

Dividend growth usually means that a number of positive metrics are being met, and the company can consistently add to the pot of money that is returned to shareholders. 

A stock that offers solid fundamentals, low debt, high returns, a sustainable underlying business...e.g. has a huge possibility to grow dividends in the future.

I've always tried to discover those stocks and introduced hundreds of them in the past. 

Each of them has shown a solid dividend growth history, for decades or a half century.

Today's screen focuses on those stocks that have a solid free cash flow, growth perspectives and an acceptable initial yield while generating double digit returns.

Here are the criteria in detail:

- Market cap that was $3 billion or higher 
- Return on invested capital that was 10% or higher over the past 5 years 
- Net debt to EBITDA that was less than 1.5% 
- Free cash flow yield 6% or higher
- Dividend yield at least 2.5%
- Dividend compounded annual growth rate 5% or higher over the past 10 years 

These are the top yielding results:

10 High-Quality Dividend Stocks Each Long-Term Investor Should Have On Their Radar

A List Of The Top Dividend Payer From The Nasdaq 100

You might not think of “Nasdaq” as synonymous with big dividends. The Nasdaq Composite index, which essentially consists of every domestic and foreign stock that trades on the exchange, has long been heavy on technology. 

And technology companies have historically shown a bias for reinvesting their profits to finance future growth, rather than returning cash to shareholders. None of the FANGs — Facebook (symbol FB), Amazon.com (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX) and Google (GOOGL), now called Alphabet — pays a dividend but delivered one of the best returns in the past decade.

But dividends could give you a small hedge if a new game changer destroys the business model.
If you own a great Amazon or Facebook for a decade and you don't get money from them, you might be happy for a while if your stock positing skyrocked but what if your investment comes back to your initial investment amount? Right, you have nothing earned. That's the reason why dividends matter.

I've attached a list of the highest yielding stocks from the Nasdaq 100. If you like my news and dividend yield lists, you can easily subscribe my daily dividend newsletter for free. Just put your email in the subscription box and confirm the first mail.

The Most Popular Buyback Champions Of The Year Compiled In 3 Charts

Stock Buybacks are essential for financial engineering. If a company has strong cash flows but only low abilities to grow while their business operates with strong competitor entry barriers, it makes definitely sense to create shareholder value by buying back own shares.

Paying out the whole net income of the company is also a good option but second choice if you compare the tax payments from both sides, the shareholder and corporate.

Today I would like to show you the most important buyback stocks. Apple is definitely the king of them. The smartphone maker bought back own stocks in an amount of nearly USD 40 billion over the past year.

In general, technology is the most represented sector on the list of the best buyback stocks of the past year.

Microsoft, Qualcom, Oracle and Intel also join the exclusive club of the buyback kings.

These Dow Jones 30 Stocks Offer The Highest Yields In 2016

The following list contains all of the Dow 30 stocks. These stocks are among the most popular and widely held stocks in the world, as they are considered some of the most solid "blue chip" stocks on the market. 

Stocks from the Dow Jones seems to be less volatile due a bigger risk diversification but this means also that you give a part of your return away.

I don't tell that Dow Jones stocks are the best way to generate a profit. If you buy all index members, your return will be the same as the overall market. 

In addition, each variance from the index constitution will generate an under or outperformance. Dividend payments play an important role in the return calculation. Around 30 to 50 percent of the total returns should be attributable to dividend payments.

Recently, I wrote about the best yielding stocks from the technology and growth index Nasdaq 100. 

Today I like to show you the highest expected yields from the Dow Jones 30 index.

Here are the highest dividend-yielding stocks in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, sorted by dividend yield from highest to lowest...

20 Stocks With Sustainable Dividend Growth Potential And Yields Up To 5.17%

Did you ever wonder why some companies pay dividends while others don't? 

There are several factors that influence whether or not a company pays a dividend and how much it chooses to pay. 

While there are too many possible factors to list here, these are some of the most influential.

- Payout Ratio
- Debt Level
- Growth (growing profits)
- Economic Environment
- Busines Model
- Less need of investment

Dividend payments are very complicated. These are a few hundrets that pay dividends regular over decades. A fewer number of stocks have grown dividends over decades.

Income stability is one of the top factors in determining dividend policies. Specifically, established companies with stable, predictable income streams are more likely to pay dividends than companies with growing or volatile income.

Newer and rapidly growing companies rarely pay dividends, as they prefer to invest their profits back into the company to fuel even more future growth. And, companies with unstable revenue streams often choose not to pay dividends, or pay small dividends in order to make sure the payout will be sustainable.

It looks terrible to investors when companies are forced to suspend or reduce dividend payments, so most like to err on the side of caution when deciding to implement a new dividend, waiting for several years of stable profits before doing so.

I think that a comibation of dividend growth on a sustainable dividend output could give all interest groups of the company large benefits.

Attached I've compiled a couple of great dividend stocks with a big potential to hike dividends in the future.

Here are my 10 favorite stocks from the screen in detail...
