20 Potentially Undervalued Dividend Stocks

One of the most common pitfalls for investors is their tendency to chase returns in the market; that is to say, many investors are prone to being lured by “hot” names on Wall Street that are making big gains, as opposed to focusing on the “out of favor,” high-quality companies that may be due for a rebound. But it's risky to follow market gurus or to go with the trend.

Maybe a better approach could be buying, fundamentally-sound dividend stocks that seem to be underpriced at the moment. Make no mistake, like many feats in the investing world, this one is also easier said than done. 

As such, below we’ve tried to discover a few undervalued stocks that might be interesting for income investors. We've used a tool with data from CapitalIQ, a Standard&Poors Company. 

These stocks pay at least 2% dividend and are available at a discount to their share price.

The following criteria have been used to create this view:

- Modest dividend of at least 2%

- Potentially undervalued Discount > 10%)

- An acceptable financial position.

- No 'warning' companies

The forward P/E from most of the results are close to 10 or below.

These are the results:

20 High-Yield Dividend Stocks With 15% Operating Margin

The main problem I've to deal with is that the dividend growth space is a very exclusive club. Stocks with a longer dividend growth history seen to offer more quality but if a stock has run dividend flat, it does not mean that they are not high quality.

Today I screened the overall market by High-Yields with 5% plus earnings growth for the next half decade and positive sales growth for the past 5 years.

The operating margin is over 15% and the debt-to-equity ratio under 1.

22 stocks fulfilled my current criteria of which 5 have a double-digit yield. Attached you can find a detailed list of the 20 highest yielding results.

Yield is good but if you combine it with growth, it looks better. Smaller capitalized stocks should also be evaluated.

11 Dividend Opportunities For Anti-Cyclic Income Investors

I like oversold stocks because the market did not like those companies because of any reasons. For me, as a long-term orientated investor, it could be a solid opportunity.

The market is often wrong when he decides to trade a stock below its intrinsic value. Today I like to show you some great yielding dividend stocks with solid future salesgrowth potential and a bad current sentiment.

Those companies had a bad RSI momentum in the past but they generate unbelievable profits and they are comfortable financed.

I've also written some articles about High-Margin Stocks in the past. You can check out my articles here: The best long-term stocks with high margins.
