15 High Yielding Cheap Stocks By Price To Free Cashfow

It's no secret that dividend-yielding stocks are the cornerstones of a solid retirement portfolio. Usually, such stocks represent ownership in stalwart businesses that pay shareholders on a quarterly basis. 

Those payments not only offer downside protection, but they can also compound returns over time. Still, one of the dangers of dividend investing is chasing after high yields.

In many cases, there's a good reason such stocks have high yields -- because there's a lot of risk involved. If you're a dividend investor, there's nothing more important than free cash flow (FCF).

Attached you will find a couple of stocks with a low price multiple in relation to its free cash flow. Each of the listed stocks has a dividend yield over 4 percent, a market capitalization over 2 billion and a debt-to-equity ratio below 1.

These are the results...
