These Military Stocks Profiting Mostly From Wars
Since the conclusion of World War
II, the United States and a number of Western European nations have maintained
extremely costly military industrial complexes — both in peacetime and during
the numerous other conflicts since.
The United States
is far and away the largest defense market, and U.S.-based companies
disproportionately comprise the top global arms dealers.
Global military
sales from the 100 largest dealers totaled $401 billion in 2014, down by 1.5% —
but still substantially higher than in 2002 — according to the latest estimates
released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
Today I like to
show you those military and defense stocks that offer the most values for
investors.
Each of the
attached results pays a dividend. The results are ranked by market
capitalization. There is a huge range of stocks available.
Here are the best choices
in my view...
13 Unleveraged Dividend Challengers With Yields Over 2% | Dividend Income Growth
If you read my blog for a longer time you should have noticed that dividend growth is one of the most important wealth drivers for long-term dividend investors.
I also talked about the difference between high dividend yields at a low growth and low yielding stocks with a high dividend growth.
The answer of this question is a between solution: Look at good initial yields with growing dividends over the longer period. I talk about mentionable yields and growth rates above the inflation level.
Today I would like to combine both, good growth with an acceptable initial dividend yield. In addition I love it to find stocks with low or no long-term debt. This increases the chance for further big dividend hikes or an accelerated growth.
Only a low leveraged company has more flexibility to grow sales and income much easier. Let’s take a look into the third dividend growth stock category - Dividend Challengers.
Thirteen stocks from the Dividend Challengers list (stocks with dividend growth between 5 to 10 consecutive years) fulfilled my above mentioned criteria. One stock has a high yield close to the double-digit yield ratio and five got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. Most of the companies from the screening results are low capitalized; eight of them have a market capitalization under USD 2 billion.
Sturm, Ruger & Co. Is The New Dividend Stock Holding For My Portfolio
Who don’t
like weapons? Americans do. One company that produces each year weapons for hundreds
of millions dollars is the defense products stock Sturm, Ruger & Co.
Incorporated. I purchased last Friday 20 shares of the weapon maker.
Sturm,
Ruger & Company, Inc. engages in the design, manufacture, and sale of
firearms in the United States. The company offers single-shot, auto loading,
bolt-action, and sporting rifles; single-action and double-action revolvers;
and rim fire auto loading and center fire auto loading pistols. It also
provides accessories and replacement parts for its firearms. In addition, the
company provides investment castings made from steel alloys directly or through
manufacturers' representatives.
The company
has a current P/E of 10.97 and the forward P/E is expected at 14.76. The
current dividend yield of Sturm Ruger is quiet over the High-Yield mark at 5.03
percent. That’s a good value in my view.
Strum Ruger
increased Sales by a factor of 3,3 and the net income rose by a factor of 5.8.
What great growth figures. Sturm Ruger managed to raise its dividends over 5
consecutive years. It’s a Dividend
Challenger with no long-term debt.

For readers
who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual
portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income
stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one
stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of
constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be
at least at $3,000 per year.

 |
| Portfolio Overview I (Click to enlarge) |
I paid $1,036 for my stake in Sturm Ruger which will give me around $50 bucks in additional dividend income per year if the latest dividend of USD 2.60 should be sustainable.
The full
year dividend income is now estimated at $2,258.68. With a current yield on
cost of 3.42 percent and USD 34,98.98 in cash deposits, I’m still confident to
reach my aim of a USD 3k dividend income by the end of the year 2013.
All stock
holdings from the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio are up 6.26 percent.
The whole portfolio performance is only at 5.1 percent due to the high cash
amount and slow purchasing process.
