Oversold Dividend Growth Stocks As Buying Opportunity? Check out These 11 Stocks

A lot of people like to “cheer” for higher prices in the short-term. Yet for the long-term net buyer, it’s lower prices that can provide the ultimate benefit.

This allows you to purchase more shares, which creates more income and a greater underlying earnings claim. Personally when I see lower prices, that’s when I tend to get more interested.

Attached you will find a selection of stocks from the dividend growth space that become cheaper over the recent year.

5 High Yield Dividend Stocks With High Beta Ratios

While investing in stocks with high dividends may be a good scheme to reinforce your loss-aversion principle, playing the market to dodge volatility requires some extra cautious steps. Beta measures the extent to which a fund’s return may be affected or how much the price fluctuates owing to market conditions.

A high beta shows normally how the performance of a single stock differs from the overall market. The higher the ratio, the bigger the out- or underperformance develops.

It's great if you like to be different, a star or a looser on the market.

Today I like to show you those higher capitalized dividend stocks with beta ratios over 1.5 and dividend yields over 5%. In order to keep the over levered stocks off the list, I only observed stocks with a debt to equity ratio under 1.

These 20 Stocks Could Benefit From Higher Rates

The current problem on the market could be descried with the following sentence: Rising rates could let to a falling dollar. 

In contraction, Investors expect the US Dollar to rally, undermining equities and furthering headwinds to S&P 500 EPS and also amplified stress for EM borrowers (USD denom. debt). 

History says that the consensus is wrong and counters intuitively, when the Fed moves to neutral from easy (11 most recent cycles), USD weakened 55% of the time, with a median decline of 7% in the first year.

Below I've implemented screen results of stocks that might benefit from rising rate hikes. Stocks from the screen have fulfilled the following criteria:

Super Investors Love These 10 Stocks Mostly By Betting On Rising Stock Prices

Today I like to introduce 10 of the top buys from the past quarter by super investors like Warren Buffett or George Soros.

I've posted an article related to the activities of Warren Buffett recently on this blog. Warren is one of the investors I watch closer. I like to stay informed by with most of his decisions, I don't agree.

I like the idea of dividend growth with accent on growth. Growth is more important than yield but you must find a great balance from both.

Google and Berkshire are two top picks on the list who don't pay dividends but generated phenomenal growth in the past. It shows that creating values don't depend on paying dividends or buying back own shares.

The truth is that normal investors like me or maybe you too, need a bigger part of shareholder friendly presents. We don't have the ability to reduce working capital or boost free cash flows by combining several businesses. That's only possible for big investors.

Here are the top dividend results:

9 Top Picks From Goldman's Dividend Growth Basket

Dividends are so important for income investors, especially when you reinvest all of your fresh dividend payment to fund new stock positions.

Overall, dividends will provide about half the total returns for equity investors in the next decade, that's a major guide each analyst tells you when we are discussing the dividend growth strategies.

Today I like to refer a great basket from Goldman Sachs, the Dividend Growth Basket. Each stock of the list has a median yield of 2.5% and is expected to increase dividends by 16% in 2015 and 12% in 2016. The basket has a price-to-earnings ratio of 15 vs. 17.3 for the S&P.

That sounds very interesting, right? Well let us look at the detailed results. Here are the best picks from each industry. Which do you like?

The 6 Best Dividend Paying Oil Stocks

If you're an income investor, you most likely will be looking for high-dividend stocks. Those high yields can be found within the energy sector, especially in the oil rector. Some Telecom, REITs and MLPs also pay good dividends.

Dividend investing also requires patience. And the reason for that is fairly simple: Most high-quality dividend payers are very stable and mature companies whose stocks are almost always trading at fair valuations with little-to-no prospect of becoming undervalued. In other words, these are generally boring stocks to own. 

When it comes to investing in dividend-paying oil stocks, here's what I'd be looking for:

- Acceptable Debt-To-Equity Ratios

- Strong Fundamentals

- High Dividends

- Low Payouts

- Cheap Valuation

- Competitive Advantage

11 Basic Material Stocks With Low Debt And Dividend Payout Ratios

Basic material dividend stocks with low dividend payout ratios and small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The basic material sector is not popular at the capital market for the time being. Over the past year, shares from the sector are the worst performing assets class on the market.

But what others hate does not mean that you cannot make money with basic material stocks. If you are a long-term investor, you should definitely find some good stocks with a cheap valuation. But be careful, raw materials are also more cyclic than consumer or healthcare companies.

Today I would like to continue my monthly screen about dividend stocks with low debt ratios and little dividend payments. I observe stocks from the basic material sector with a dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent of earnings as well as a debt to equity ratio under 0.2.

Exactly eleven stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight are currently recommended to buy. Agrichemicals and specialty chemical companies are the dominating player on the list.

To buy cheap stocks is no guarantee for a return but you get value for what you pay and the possibility to overpay a stock is also low if the business model is stable.
