19 Cheap High-Yield Opportunities From The Financial Sector

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.

Here are my results...

All Dividend Growers From The Past Week And My Favorites

Have you ever noticed those that most vehemently attack a buy-and-hold strategy really don't understand how the strategy works? 

They confuse a buy-and-hold strategy with day trading with a longer duration. A true implementation of buy-and-hold includes a focus on blue-chip stocks with a sustainable advantage, along with a reasonable asset allocation framework. 

One sign of a blue-chip stock is a long string of dividend increases. Below all companies that have recently raised the bar by increasing their cash dividends

In total, 71 stocks announced a higher dividend of which 14 have a high yield (over 5%) and 40 a cheap forward P/E (less than 15).

Attached you will also find my 19 favorite stocks from the list. Each stock has solid fundamentals and earnings growth potenital while the debt situation is acceptable.

Here are the stocks:

12 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10% And Low Forward P/E’s

Cheaply valuated shares with very high dividend yields originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to show you some of the highest yielding stocks on the market with low earnings multiples. I choose stocks with a dividend yield of more than 10% with a forward P/E of less than 15. In order to eliminate the lower capitalized companies who have definitely a higher risk, I need to look at companies with a market cap over $2 billion.

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.

9 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Buy Or Better Rating

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better recommendations originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Some of my readers like you have a huge desire for income stocks. Not enough, they should have a good payout in terms of initial yields and offer you a great opportunity with price hikes.

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.

Latest stock purchases and sales from David Einhorn, Greenlight Capital originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. David Einhorn has around USD 5.3 billion in assets under management in his asset management company Greenlight Capital. Last Quarter he made 28 transactions and bought 7 new stakes. His portfolio has only 30 stock holdings.

In this article I would like to present you the best dividend stocks, bought and sold by David Einhorn. From his nine stock and ETF purchases pay six a dividend. All of the latest dividend buys from David Einhorn yielding between .13 percent and 1.92 percent. David is no long-term dividend player. He wants a quick total return.

These 42 Stocks Planning To Pay More Dividends

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Last week, around 42 companies announced a high dividend. I published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 15.51 percent.

It’s always good to see how the dividend growth strategy works. Some of the dividend growers have raised their payments forty times and more. The biggest names come from the oil and gas sector. Eni and Total are the two biggest stocks followed by the British spirit maker Diageo.

Five of the results have a double-digit dividend yield and seven yielding above five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend more than half, 26 in total, of the dividend growth stocks.

9 Stocks With Double-Digit Yields And Buy Or Better Recommendations

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Boost your dividend income wisely. The easiest way is to look for stocks with extraordinary high yields but there is still a huge risk to receive the dividend one time and no more further.

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.

12 Stocks With Very High Yields (+10%) And Positive Growth Expectations

10% yielding stocks with future earnings growth originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We all look for high dividend payments. I for myself am fixed to get a 3 percent return with good long-term growth perspectives. Others like High-Yields with stable payments.

Today I like to show you the highest yielding stocks at the market with positive earnings per shares growth for the next five years. I know, stocks with yields above the 10 percent mark are very risky and they like to reduce their payments in the future. In order to reduce the risks from lower capitalized stocks, I selected only those companies with a market cap above 2 billion.

Only 12 companies fulfilled my mentioned criteria of which five have a current buy or better rating. The results are dominated by real estate trusts. Annaly Capital Management is still on the list but they needed to cut dividends last week by 11.1 percent from 0.45 to 0.4 cts per share. Die interest rate increase hurts the company.
