Financial stocks can offer great opportunities for dividend investors. Financials will benefit from rising interest rate expectations and a steeper yield curve.
The sector offers the least expensive valuation of any sector in the S&P 500, trading at a mere 13.5 price/earnings multiple. Financials also benefit from positive loan growth, which should occur this year.
In addition, it is the sector that has the most sensitivity to higher interest rates. While multiples have increased for most of these stocks since the election, many are trading at a substantial discount to the market. Deregulation could create potential earnings per share upside for the entire sector.

20 High-Yield Stocks With Low Beta Ratios
The market’s had its ups and downs this year, but there is sure to be more volatility ahead of us in 2017. There is a lot of speculation over the health of the global economy. Will China keep falling behind growth expectations? Will the high market valuation cause a short-term sell off?
As long as the market has big questions with no concrete answers, there is sure to be more volatility ahead of us. When the global environment is uncertain, it is wise to reduce your market exposure by picking up some low beta stocks. Stocks with a low beta tend to see a lower magnitude of price changes compared to the broader market.
The secret sauce behind high performance is low volatility. Stock portfolios built with low beta stocks tend to outperform high-beta growth stocks. And you sleep at night without having to worry about big swings in the market.
It is foolish to assume that taking on more risk will produce higher returns. We all want the sure thing in business with no risk, but this is nearly impossible to find. But it possible to find low-beta stocks with steadily rising dividends or high dividends. I've done some research in order to find the best high-yield dividend stocks with low beta ratios.
These 20 stocks have high yields at low beta ratios...

20 Great Dividend Stocks With Yields Between 10.20% and 20.63%
But even after the Fed changes direction and begins raising the federal funds rate above the range of zero to 0.25%, where it has been locked since late 2008, rates are likely to remain quite low for a long time.
So the market prices of income-producing securities may not fall as much as many investors fear, or maybe they’ll stage a recovery after the hysteria of the Fed’s likely near-term policy change wears off.
High-growth momentum stocks are nice, but many investors these days are more interested in stability and dependable dividends.
If you’re an income-oriented investor, the attached list of high yielding dividend stocks is ideal for further research. Each of the stocks has a double-digit dividend yield with positive ROA and positive 5 year earnings growth forecasts.
Some of these stocks may be boring, some of the yields may not be thrilling and some may not have impressive earnings growth in their future.
But all of the 20 dividend stocks are worth a deeper look when it comes to preserving capital and making regular dividend payments. Check out the list below and sort by company, yield or dividend history.
Here is the list...
20 High-Yield Stocks With Extreme Low Beta Ratios (Half Of The Market)
Everyone has a different appetite for risk. Some people like to chase those high growth companies that have chances of doubling in a year or two, while others would likely never sleep at night while three out of 10 of its investments destroy the market while the other 7 crash & burn. If you are one of those investors that don't have the sensibility to invest in those higher risk/higher reward type of companies, that's ok, there are plenty of lower risk companies that can generate good returns over time.
One ratio to measure the risk compared to the market is the beta ratio. A ratio under one shows us that the unique stock moves less than the overall market while a ratio far above one indicates that the stock is more volatile than the market.
If you look for more stability of your portfolio, you should look at low beta stocks. Mostly, you need to give up some of your return or dividend yield due to the higher safeness. But only sometimes.
Attached you can find a couple of stocks with the lowest beta ratio on the market while paying the highest available yields in their field. I've only included stocks with a market cap of more than 2 billion.
These are the results...
20 Cheap Stocks With The Highest Yields On The Market
That's why stocks with high dividend yields are particularly appealing right now to income investors and savers -- double-digit yields, even more so.
Recently I wrote about the highest yielding stocks on the market with a buy or better rating. The yields from the results were all over 8 percent.
Today I like to share those stocks with you that offer the cheapest P/E, price-to-earnings ratios while having the highest yields on the market.
I've also include those stocks with a 2+ billion market capitalization. Limited Partnerships, Oil drillers, REITs and Telecoms are mostly higher yielding stocks, giving investors a large share of its annual profits back via dividends.
Here are the results...
20 Buy Rated Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 8%
One group of investors that has had more than their fill of quantitative easing (QE) is income investors, who rely on investments that pay steady and dependable dividends or distributions that help supplement other sources of income.
The whole point of QE was to drive down interest rates to make higher risk assets more attractive.
While that has worked out pretty well for growth stock investors with long time horizons, income and growth and income investors were left with very little to cheer about.
In the early 2000s, large money center banks were offering certificates of deposit, guaranteed for principal up to $250,000, that yielded anywhere from 5% to 7%. Currently that is in the 2%-plus range.
It's sad but we needed to say goodbye to higher yields with low risks. Today we get only low yields with high risk.
Attached you can find 20 stocks with a buy or better rating that offer you a 8% yield or more.
I've only included those stocks with a market cap over 2 billion in order to avoid the really big risks.

14 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10% And An Expected Single P/E
It seems
that every story you read about these days is geared toward day traders or
those looking for long-term growth in retirement portfolios. But there are
millions of investors who need or want current income, and low interest rates
have made that strategy largely a losing one. Some of us developed to yield
seekers, looking for cheap and high yielding stocks
.
.
I’m not
talking about a yield income of 1 or 2 percent yearly. No, that’s boring. I’m
talking about a 2.5 percent yield per quarter or a sum of 10% or more per year.
Attached
you can find a selection of stocks with yields over 10 percent. The valuation of
the selected stocks is cheap with a forward P/E of less than 10.
Most of the
14 results are off mainstream: Asset Managers, Oil & Gas Refining &
Marketing, REITs and finally Telecoms are the main groups that pay those big dividends
while having a cheap valuation.
Are they cheap
for a reason or a bargain?
The market
is always looking forward, so that fact that those stocks are trading below
their book value suggests investors expect the companies to underperform. While
there are several reasons why this is could be the case, one of the most
apparent is tighter spreads.
Here are
the results in detail....
Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On October 09, 2013
The ex dividend date is the
final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If
you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend
date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher
capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.
In total, 33 stocks go ex dividend
- of which 10 yield more than 3 percent. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend
date within the current week.

12 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10% And Low Forward P/E’s
+Dividends.png)
Only twelve shares on the market met these restrictions. I believe that a high dividend yield will help investors to get a quick cash return and should boost the passive income but it’s also very dangerous to buy those stocks. Most of the high yielders come from the Financial or REIT sector. Most of them are highly loaded with debt and they are no long-term dividend growers like Procter and Coca Cola.
Six of the twelve results have a current buy or better rating. The yields are between 11.38 percent and 20.32 percent.
16 High Yielding Dividend Stocks With Singe P/E Ratios
But you need also a good initial dividend yield
if you like to build a passive dividend income to live off.
Today I would like
to create a screen which combines both, yield and cheapness at a very high
level.
I’m looking for High-Yield dividend stocks with
single-digit P/E ratios. In order to limit my screening results, I observed
only higher capitalized companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion.
Sixteen stocks fulfilled my criteria. Seven of
them have a current buy or better rating and fifteen yielding over 10 percent!
REITs, asset managers and communication stocks are dominating the screen.
That’s where you can find the highest dividend yields but the risk is also much
higher.
9 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Buy Or Better Rating
+Dividends.png)
It’s hard to find the perfect dividend stock that delivers you a great return at a low risk and the higher the initial yield, the bigger the risk seems.
Today I would like to introduce you some of the highest yielding stocks at the stock market with current buy or better ratings by brokerage firms.
At the market are around a hundred stocks with double-digit dividend yields but most of them, 78 percent, are small capitalized. I don’t like stocks with a small market cap because of the low diversification and high sensitivity when trading volume comes into the stock. In my current screen, I observe only stocks with a USD 2 billion or more capitalization. Below is a list of the 9 highest yielding stocks with a buy or better rating.
9 Stocks With Double-Digit Yields And Buy Or Better Recommendations
+Logo.png)
There is no solution for this problem because no
return exists without a risk. Today I’ve screened stocks with very high dividend
yields (over 10 percent). Around 100 companies have a current yield over 10 percent but most of
them are low capitalized or they will pay no high dividends in the future. In
order to eliminate the real big risks from the screening results, I observed
only those companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. In addition, the stock should have a buy or better rating. Only nine stocks fulfilled these criteria with a
dividend yield between 10 percent and 20 percent.
Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On July 10, 2013
The ex dividend date is the
final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If
you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend
date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher
capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.
A full list of all stocks
with payment dates can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks July 09,
2013. In total, 15 stocks and
preferred shares go ex dividend - of which 5 yield more than 3 percent. The
average yield amounts to 4.05%.
