20 Cheapest Utility Dividend Stocks

Utility dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Today I like to proceed with my monthly dividend screen of the cheapest stocks measured by the lowest forward P/E. Utilities are the next ones.

In my screen I observe only shares with a market cap over USD 10 billion and a positive dividend yield. The 20 cheapest utilities have a valuation multiple between 9.2 and 16.96, calculated on expected earnings. Six stocks have a buy or better recommendation.

20 Of The Safest Utilities With Best Dividend Yields

Some of the safest utilities originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Many people say that utilities have a higher degree of safeness because of the stability and the relationships to their clients. 

That’s primarily true but utilities have also two big burdens. They don’t grow fast and if they grow they need greather amounts of money. The second problem is that most of the utilities are very capital intensive and they fulfill their capital needs with loans. That’s normally not a problem because a utility has stable cash flows and can get access to the capital market very easy.

Today I like to look at the safest dividend stocks from the utility sector. 123 equities are available on the market. I screen all of them by a market capitalization over USD 10 billion and beta ratio below one.

Linked is a list of the 20 best yielding companies. Three of them are High-Yields and eight have a buy or better recommendation.

13 Highest Dividend Paying Diversified Utilities

Highest dividend paying diversified utilities originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". A safe and high income is a dream from most of us. For sure, safe and high incomes without any kind of risk are impossible but out there are still some sectors and industries with companies which have a high possibility to fulfill these items. Let me mention one thing: Safe dividends do not exist and a safe dividend is no growing dividend. If your income does not grow over the long-run, you will get poorer and poorer due to the inflation pressure.

Not enough, if your company does not hike prices and grow it will lose earnings and must cut dividends in the future. Growth is the key and not safe dividends. Today I like to scout the utility sector by the highest dividend paying opportunities. The sector is one of the smallest branched ones because of its five sub industries. I will focus on the diversified utility industry today which has already 24 stocks listed. The industry is the highest dividend paying industry (4.64 percent average yield) from the utility sector and also the biggest branch with a total market capitalization of $11.41 trillion.

Nearly all 22 companies from the diversified utility industry pay dividends. Linked is a small table with some fundamentals of the highest dividend paying stocks with a market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion. It’s always good to have a bigger stock with a diversified business model.

Thirteen diversified utilities fulfilled my criteria of which five have a current buy or better rating.
