Top 10 Companies By Buyback Yield

10 Best Stocks With Buyback Yields Up To 24.9%

Investors love companies that pay dividends. But dividends aren’t the only way firms send money to shareholders. They can also buy back their own stock.

Companies that aggressively repurchase their shares tend to outperform the market. 

A portfolio made up of the 10% of stocks with the highest buyback yields, rebalanced each year, was the best performer over the long term.

It gained an average of 13.7% annually from 1927 through to the end of 2009. In comparison, the market gained 10.5% per year over the same period and stocks with the lowest 10% of buyback yields climbed only 5.9% per year.

Buybacks, also called share repurchases, are a controversial financial tool. Some companies truly have more cash then they need so they return it to shareholders by buying existing shares in the open market.

This buying support and reduction in outstanding shares helps increase the value of remaining shares, in a fairly tax efficient manner. 

However, companies may also use buybacks as a means to boost earnings per share in order to please short-term investors, analyst estimates, and executives looking to increase their bonuses. Nonetheless, the buyback trend is still going strong.

Attached I've compiled 10 of the S&P 500 stocks with the biggest Buyback Yield.

Here are the best companies by buyback yield...

32 Of 60 S&P 500 Dogs Have Cash Margins To Cover Dividends

“Dogs of the Dow” is a popular investment strategy. There are thousands other or similar strategies out there trying to beat the market by finding undervalued stocks without deep research.

The approach is simple and easy. On seeking alpha, there are many writers creating great screens with attractive stocks. 

Attached you will find a list of dogs from the S&P500. A dog by definition from the article is a stock from the S&P 500 with a dividend yield higher than their peers and lower than their historical average.

High yields also under pressure of dividend cuts. In order to eliminate those risks, the author created the safety margin rule. This ratio shows how much of the dividend yield is covered by the free cash flow yield. A ratio below 100% tells us that the dividend is paid with free cash, generated by operating activities.

Check out the dogs with high safety margins here...

10 Stocks With The Highest Buyback Yield

Investing in companies returning cash to shareholders via a combination of buybacks and dividends has proven to be an effective long-term strategy relative to the market and other uses of cash.

Since 1991, a sector-neutral basket of the S&P 500 stocks with the highest trailing combined dividend and buyback yields has returned an annualized 15.7% versus 13.8% for the top capex + R&D spenders and 12.8% for S&P 500. It seems this could be a great way to invest.

What is a stock purchase?

A stock repurchase occurs when a company asks stockholders to tender their shares for repurchase by the company. This is an alternate way for a company to increase value for stockholders. First, a repurchase can be used to restructure the company's capital structure without increasing the company's debt load.

Additionally, rather than a company changing its dividend policy, it can offer value to its stockholders through stock repurchases, keeping in mind that capital gains taxes are lower than taxes on dividends.

Advantages of a Stock Repurchase

Many companies initiate a share repurchase at a price level that management deems a good entry point. This point tends to be when the stock is estimated to be undervalued. If a company knows its business and relative stock price well, would it purchase its stock price at a high level? The answer is no, leading investors to believe the management perceives its stock price to be at a low level.

Unlike a cash dividend, a stock repurchase gives the decision to the investor. A stockholder can choose to tender his shares for repurchase, accept the payment and pay the taxes. With a cash dividend, a stockholder has no choice but to accept the dividend and pay the taxes.

At times, there may be a block of shares from one or more large shareholders that could come into the market, but the timing may be unknown. This problem may actually keep potential stockholders away since they may be worried about a flood of shares coming onto the market and lessening the stock's value. A stock repurchase can be quite useful in this situation.

However, let's come back to the real facts from the market. Attached you will find 10 stocks with the highest buyback yield of the past twelve months. The yield starts at 14.9% and ends at nearly 40%. Great values.

Here they are sorted by yield...

7 Higher Yielding Large Cap Stocks With Single-Digit Forward P/E's

Long-term investing is important for people who want a higher possibility of big returns. It's clear that you will not make 40% in a day with a solid large cap company.

You need time to get returns but you also need to be careful in terms of the price you pay for your investment. Only at cheap stock prices, you will make a high total return in the years to come.

I recently ran a stock screen to uncover income investments that fit the following criteria:

- Comfortably profitable
- Larger than $1 billion in market value
- Trading for a price-to-earnings ratio of less than 7.5x next year’s earnings
- A dividend yield of more than 3%

A number of companies popped up, including some volatile picks or overseas companies that only pay dividends once or twice a year.

These are the results...

20 Stocks With A Free Cashflow Inital Yield Over 5%

A profitable company is solid and a good investment if it growth and scales its profits. That's a fact. 

But often we see earnings that are no earnings. The cash flow is often higher or lower and the need for capital expenditures makes it more complicated to evaluate the true earnings for return orientated investors.

A High free cash flow can be used for so many interesting things like organic growth, merger and acquisitions or even buybacks and special dividends.

Attached I've compiled a few stocks that offer a free cash flow yield over 5 percent. That’s a good initial yield in my view.

Here are my favorite results...

20 Cashflow Strong Stocks With 3.5% to 12.8% Dividend Yields And Potential To Hike

Investors love dividend stocks, even during times of turmoil. Some focus on current income, while others track the correlation between dividend increases and outperformance. 


Cash flow is a key issue in investing. It's in my view a better view on the earnings power of a company. Even better is the free cash flow, that's the amount of operating cash ex capital spending.

Those amounts of money could fully used for dividends, investment (Mergers, Acquisitions), share buybacks and more.

As a follow-up to our look at companies with high free cash flow that could be used to raise dividends, we decided to take a broader and simpler approach to list dividend stocks favored the most by analysts.

Analysts say a lot about stocks and often they are wrong with their opinion. Don't put too much trust in their work. The do the same as you, simple desk research and often your results will be better.

40 Stocks With Massive Upside Potential Accordance To Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs has recently created a sheet of stocks with high upside and downside targets. They published a list with 40 stocks with the highest possibility to create or destroy values.

I've attached the list. The full article with 40 additional stocks with the most downside potential can be found on Bloomberg. Mattel, Wynn and Viacom are the top picks in with dividend payments in pipeline.

There is more value inside. Just look at the results but beware of the debt loaded stocks. I'm not a fan of casino stocks like Wynn or LVS. Both are very sensitive in fincial crisis. Here are the results listed....
