Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of October 2013

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. At the beginning of each month, I screen the market with my best dividend paying stock screening criteria which are listed below.

I believe that it makes sense to observe the market by good valuated long-term growth stocks. For sure many of the results are lucky strikes, companies that have had an extraordinary good financial strength and growth due to a fantastic business environment. But the developments are not sustainable.

But sometimes there are new ideas on my list like Herbalife or recently the weapon maker Sturm & Ruger. Those were corporate stocks in special situations.

The best dividend paying stock list is a small compilation with seven tough investing criteria, summarized below. The list includes each month around 20 to 30 results. It’s a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

My Criteria to find the best dividend stock

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion

Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100

Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20

Return on Investment: > 10 < 100

Operating Margin: > 10 < 100

10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200

10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

28 companies are part of the best dividend paying stock list for October 2013. The top pick is still Southern Copper, a commodity based stock with a double-digit dividend yield. 8 additional stocks have a dividend yield over 5 percent and fourteen got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

47 Top High-Yielding Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In October 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Close to the end of the month, I would like to highlight some of the best yielding ex-dividend shares for October.

If you are a daily reader of my blog, you would have noticed that I publish regularly lists about ex-dividend stocks. It’s a great information tool for investors who love it to receive dividends. If you purchase a stocks quick before the ex-dividend date, you get a faster cash return but you will not make extra gains with these money because on the ex-date, the stock would also be traded ex-dividend but with yields of about 0.5 percent quarter dividend or so, you will definitely see no big changes because the daily fluctuations are much higher.

However, every month, I create a small list about interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date for the next month. I think it could bring you some values to see what companies pay you cash next month with an attractive equity story.

As result, I found 47 stocks with an average dividend yield of 5.76 percent. Eight stocks have a double-digit yield and additional eight stocks have a high yield below 10 percent but over 5 percent. 21 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.
