Services Dividend Stocks With Highest Stock Performance - And Which Of Them Are Still Cheap

Services dividend stocks with highest year-to-date performance originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The more I discover the best performing stocks from the recent half year, the better the performance gets. 

Today I would like to discover stocks from the services sector with the highest year-to-date performance. The sector is the second best performer behind the healthcare segment but the performance is more unequal distributed: The best dividend stocks on the top 20 list have a price performance between 60 percent and 247 percent. Service is a place to be for investors.

In order to reduce some extraordinary companies and to get better results, I decided to exclude all stocks with a lower market capitalization (below USD 300 million). Small cap stocks have normally a higher performance ratio, also in this screen: More than half of the results have a market cap below a billion dollars. The average market cap of the top 20 stocks after my limit rule amounts to USD 2.6 billion.

Despite the strong stock price growth; twelve shares still have a buy or better rating. Broadcasting and TV companies are very hot and dominating the screening results. There is some rumor in the market about takeovers and mergers.

13 Highest Dividend Paying Grocery Stores

High dividend paying grocery store stocks originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". A very interesting investment field is to buy chains. Every company has a chain but I don’t talk about the relationship structures of a company when they buy commodities, manufacture products and sell them in the end to customers. I talk about store systems like McDonalds or Wal-Mart. For sure, these are two very successful chains with strong brands and lot’s of value. Normally a smaller chain has no big values.

To buy a store system is a way to make fast money because a profitable concept can be copied all over the world in a very short time. All you need is the right location to expand your selling space. Think about Starbucks and how they work. The critical point is if your business concept will be accepted by different cultures and if your customers are loyal to your products when competition rises. All will be measured in the ratio “Same Store Sales”. That’s a figure which counts the percentage sales increase of older stores space (because a new opened store has higher sales in the first six month).

Today I like to look at the grocery stores industry. The average dividend yield of grocery stores is 1.46% and the P/E ratio is around 35. Linked is a small list of the highest dividend paying grocery store concepts which you can buy at the market.

13 grocery stores pay dividends of which one is a High-Yield. Six of the results are recommended to buy.

18 Fantastic Dividend Stocks Near One-Year Lows

New Breakout Stocks By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Sometimes it makes sense to observe stocks with an ongoing sell-off. The background is to find stocks with a possible turnaround story and to bet on a strong bull race. Oversold stocks are often traded at new lows but they could recover in a fast way. If the company pays stable dividends, it should increase the expected total return for an investor. However, here is a current screen of high-yield stocks that are close to their 52-Week Lows (up to 5 percent). In order to eliminate stocks with higher risk, I screened only companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. As a result, 18 higher capitalized stocks are near to their 52-week low of which three have a double-digit dividend yield and six are recommended to buy.

17 Oversold High-Yields With Growing Business

Oversold High-Yields With Growing Earning Per Share Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Stocks with a massive amount of sellers could fall very deep in a short period of time. Sometimes, the market overreacts and companies are traded at very low prices.

I screened the capital market by high-yields with positive earnings per share growth and signals to be oversold. A good indicator to measure the degree of oversold is the relative strength index (RSI). The RSI ranges from 0 to 100. An asset is deemed to be overbought once the RSI approaches the 70. If the RSI approaches 30, it is an indication that the asset may be getting oversold and therefore likely to become undervalued.

I listed all stocks with a RSI of less than 40. In order to exclude the risks of low capitalized companies, I decided to screen only such stocks with a market capitalization above USD 300 million. Seventeen companies remained of which seven have a double-digit yield and six a buy or better recommendation.
