20 Highest Yielding NASDAQ And NYSE Dividend Achievers

There are numerous studies suggesting that dividend-paying stocks are effective tools for accumulating wealth over an extended time horizon.

Simply investing in dividend-paying stocks, however, hardly limits the investable universe or indicates a realistic strategy. 

More than two-thirds of the stocks in the S&P 500 pay dividends, including the majority of the larger companies in the benchmark. 

Globally, there are thousands of dividend-paying stocks. There are a number of strategies that further refine the idea of dividend investing, focusing only on dividend payers that meet certain yield, consistency, or balance sheet criteria. 

The good thing for us normal investors is that we can easily discover some the most popular indices with focus on long term dividend growth in order to select high-quality dividend stocks. 

Today I like to show you some of the 20 highest yielding stocks from the NASDAQ and NYSE Dividend Achievers Index. The strategy is ideal for high-income investors who don't want to invest into junk.

The NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index includes dividend-paying stocks that meet the following requirements:

- Be incorporated in the United States.
- Trade on the NYSE or NASDAQ.
- Have increased its annual dividend for the last ten or more consecutive years.
- Meet volume requirements.
- The NASDAQ OMX maintains the NASDAQ US Dividend Achievers Select Index.

These are 20 highest yielding, selected Dividend Achievers, sorted by Dividend Yield...

Gold Comes Back: Here Are The 15 Best Dividend Ideas From The Industry

Dividend stocks – that term says a lot. You buy a stock and on a recurring basis it pays you a cash dividend....And over time, thanks to those cash distributions and capital appreciation fueled by shareholder loyalty, the stock price rises. 

That’s a great way to build wealth. Another way is to buy gold. Gold is a true hard value and should hedge your cash against inflation.

In the past, it worked really well until gold prices began to crash. In recent days we see a small turnaround of gold prices. The leading big reserve banks still pumping tons of money into the market and a fear of recession is increasing.

However, I'm not a gold investor and don't have any gold stocks but for sentiment or momentum trader, it could be a great trading idea to bet on rising gold prices with gold dividend stocks.

Attached I've compiled all 15 gold stocks that pay a dividend. If you have any comments, please share your thoughts at the box below. Thank you for reading and contributing.

20 Low Yielding Dividend Achievers That Might Deliver A Better Total Return Than High-Yield Stocks

This blog is mainly focused on high-quality dividend paying stocks that delivered a solid trustful dividend growth history in the past.

I'm also focused on higher yielding stocks because I do believe that those companies offer a better risk compensation and their business model allows it to generate a higher amount of free cash which could be distributed to shareholders.


But you need to look more into the balance sheets and income statements of a company in order to identify such a cash flow strength. 

A high yield doesn't mean that you will also get a high total return. If you get big dividends but the stock price falls, your return will turn negative.

The attached chart spells out the cost to the investor of focusing on yield over a long period of investing history. 


Investors who emphasized yield when purchasing stocks from this group of beloved cherry-picked Dividend Growth stocks missed out on earning the equivalent of a year's worth of a nice middle-class salary over the 18 years studied here.




You might see that a portfolio with lower yielding stocks delivered more total return due to a larger stock price appreciation than higher yielding stocks with lower growth possibilities.


Today I would like to introduce a few lower yielding Dividend Achievers with a fantastic future prediction. The attached list ranks midcap plus Dividend Achievers by its future EPS growth forecast. Only stocks with a debt to equity ratio under 1 were observed.


Here are the 20 top results, sorted by growth...

19 Dividend Achievers Below Book Value

In a rising stock market, all eyes are on the income statement. But in a flat or falling market, the balance sheet moves into the spotlight. Investors want to know the real core accounted values of the company. 

If you look at the book value per share, you can easily identify stocks that are traded below their accounted assets.

If a company’s P/B ratio is less than one, the shares are selling for less than the value of the company’s assets.

What Is Book Value?

Book value is a measure of all of a company's assets: stocks, bonds, inventory, manufacturing equipment, real estate, etc. In theory, book value should include everything down to the pencils and staples used by employees, but for simplicity's sake companies generally only include large assets that are easily quantified.

Today I’ve screened my Dividend Achievers list by stocks with a current P/B ratio below one. 19 stocks matched exactly my criteria. The attached list shows all of them, sorted by the lowest ratio to the highest.

Here are the highest yielding results in detail…
