Warren Buffett Buys And Sells These Stocks Surprisingly

Warren Buffett and his team of portfolio managers listed some 148 positions worth a whopping $147.9 billion in equities in the official Form 13F filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This compared to $128.8 billion as of the end of the third quarter of 2016 and $115.46 billion as of December 31.

It is important to understand that some changes are made by Warren Buffett himself, with 14 sub-entities of Berkshire Hathaway in prior filings. Other changes may have come from the likes of newer portfolio managers Ted Weschler and Todd Combs. It appears as though the Buffett portfolio managers have been given much larger investing amounts.

If there is one key takeaway for the 2017 stocks it would be that this was one of the largest changes we have seen in years. New stakes were added and other stakes were grown. Other stakes were cleaned out or decreased.

Attached you will find a small overview of Warren Buffett's latest stock buys and sells during Q4 in 2016...

16 Income Growth Stocks With A PEG Below One

With the stock market in nearly nonstop rally mode over the past six years, investors haven't needed to look far to uncover an abundance of growth stocks. 

But not all growth stocks are created equal: While some could still deliver extraordinary gains, others appear considerably overvalued, and might instead burden investors with hefty losses. 

What exactly is a growth stock? Though it's arbitrary, I'll define a growth stock as any company forecast to grow profits by 10% or more annually during the next five years. To decide what's "cheap," I'll use the PEG ratio, which compares a company's price-to-earnings ratio to its future growth rate. 

Any figure around or below one could signal a cheap stock. Attached you can find a list of dividend growth stocks with a history of consecutive dividend hikes of more than 5 years and a PEG ratio below one. 

Each stock from the list is a Midcap with a market cap over 2 billion. I've tried to exclude all lower capitalized stocks out of the screen in order to keep the big risks away.

In total, there are 16 companies from my high quality dividend stock screen that fulfilled my criteria.

Here is the list of stocks with a PEG ratio below one....

18 Fast Growing Dividend Jewels You Should Consider

The Brexit dominates the market in several ways. He creates massive uncertainty, especially within the foreign exchange market which affects so many businesses around the world. 

The news is that those effects are limited. The big cake is still in America and the rest of the world. That’s also one reason why I want to screen the domestic market by stocks which are less affected by currency fluctuations. 

I like high margin companies that are big enough to finance its own growth without taking debt or issuing shares.

Finally, shareholders should get a decent amount of money as compensation for their risk and rental for their money. 

Today’s stock market screen tries to capture this issue in a special way. 

Here are my criteria: 

- Market Capitalization over USD 2 Billion
- Positive Dividend Yield 
- EPS to Grow By More Than 10% for The Next Half Decade 
- Debt/Equity Under 0.5 
- Operating Margin over 15% 
- Positive Return on Assets 
- Forward P/E under 15 

Exactly eighteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which five paying dividends over 3 percent. 

16 of the results are currently recommended to buy. 

These are my five favorites from the screening 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.

15 Cheap Stocks With Strong Growth Prospects

Dividend stocks as a group have started to trade in a range as investors contemplate the effect that the upcoming interest rate hike will have on their valuation.

From our perspective, the decision on whether dividend stocks are a good hold in a rising-interest-rate environment is a moot point — as long as we’re looking for the right stocks.

The “right” dividend stocks in our book not only pay healthy dividends, but also have strong growth prospects. Focusing on strong balance sheets and growing revenue helps to avoid investing in companies that may be at risk of decreasing or cutting their dividends.

Attached you can find a few dividend stocks with double-digit earnings growth predictions for the next five years.

Each of the stocks has a market cap over 2 billion, a debt to equity ratio under 0.5 and a beta below the market average.

15 stocks fulfilled our criteria of which two are High-Yields. 13 of the results got a buy or better rating by analysts.

These 14 Promising Income Stocks Should Grow Earnings Over 10% Yearly

Investors often pick between growth and income. Why limit yourself? I sit here and watch my market screener, trying to find the next stock that could deliver me a good return.

- EPS growth forecasts over 10% yearly for the next half decade
- P/E less than 15

10 Cheaply Valuated Stocks Boosting Earnings For The Next Years

Companies delivering superior growth in sales and earnings tend to be winning names over the long term. However, these companies rarely sell for low valuations, so you generally need to pay premium prices for top-growth stocks. With this in mind, it makes sense to look for strong-growth companies going through temporary challenges and trading at convenient valuations.

I've created a screen of dividend paying stocks with a solid growth momentum. Those stocks have shown investors increasing sales over years while analysts predicting a rosy future. Earnings should grow for the mid-term at double-digit rates.

In addition, my focus is on higher capitalized stocks with a lower beta and debt. Twelve stocks fulfilled my criteria of which one has a yield of more than 3 percent and ten are recommended to buy.

These are the highest yielding results:

16 Large Caps With Skyrocket Dividends

Others research studies say that high dividend raiser perform better than the market.

However, I like to show you which large capitalized stocks increased their dividends over the past year at the highest rate, more than 50 percent.

Purchasing high growth is better than buying high yielding stocks. A list Dividend Aristocrats with the fastest dividend growth rates can be found here: 10 Dividend Aristocrats With The Highest Possibility To Grow Dividends At The Fastest Pace...

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of October 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I always look for stocks with a cheap valuation and modest growth perspectives.

While the interest environment is low, the market valuation is extraordinary high and it’s more important to take care about a solid price in order to ensure not to overpay a stocks.

Each month I create a quick list that allows me to observe the market by the cheapest growth picks. You can find my criteria below.

These are the criteria for my cheapest dividend paying large cap screen:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next five years

18 Services Stocks With Low Debt And Payout Ratios To Boost Future Dividends

Services dividend paying stocks with low payout ratios and relatively small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to continue my article serial about low leveraged stocks with small payout ratios. I believe that those stocks can pay higher dividends in the future or they have the ability to grow further without capital increases.

The services sector ha s many corporate stocks with small dividend payouts but the most of the stocks are working with small profit margins or they have a modest capitalization. I decided to look only at stocks with more than $2 billion market capitalization in order to get the best results. My other criteria are still the same: Debt to equity under 0.5 with a dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent.

Eighteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which ten are currently recommended to buy.
