7 Of The Most Underestimated Dividend Stocks

It's hard to define a solid investing criterion which could bring you solid gains while excluding the big risks. 

I personally believe in dividends as a safe haven criteria because cash you have received in the past could compensate a potential loss. 

For sure, this is not a good return driver, especially when we are talking about yields of 1-2 percent yearly, but each penny sums to dollars if you compile enough of them.

Today I run my daily screen about cheap dividend paying stocks with double-digit earnings growth forecasts for the next five years. 

In addition, the stocks have a very comfortable debt situation, measured by a debt-to-equity ratio of less than 0.5.

These are my favorites from the screening results:

The Best Consumer Goods Stocks To Buy | 10 Cheap Dividend Stocks

The Best Yielding Consumer Goods Shares With Low P/E ratio Originally Published At “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I personally like consumer goods stocks because they have a deep relationship to the customer, directly and not indirect. My most favorite stocks produce daily goods like food or toothpaste maybe beauty or health products. They are well diversified and generate ideally more than 50 percent of their revenues outside the United States. I think about companies like Procter and Gamble or ColgatePalmolive. Other stocks are PepsiCo and Coca Cola. They all raised dividends over a very long period and helped to boost my dividend income. Let’s take a look into the sector and hunt for some bargains.

I screened the sector by the best yielding stocks with a low P/E ratio (value of less than 15). As result, ten stocks remain of which two are high-yields and seven are recommended to buy. The dominant industry in the screen is the auto manufacturing industry. The market sees a high profit slowdown. For the time being, earnings growth rate for those auto stocks are still attractive. But the time will change. Also remarkable is the high debt ratios of the car stocks. I personally don’t like those companies and wouldn’t recommend them to buy.
