These 20 Stocks Could Benefit From Higher Rates

The current problem on the market could be descried with the following sentence: Rising rates could let to a falling dollar. 

In contraction, Investors expect the US Dollar to rally, undermining equities and furthering headwinds to S&P 500 EPS and also amplified stress for EM borrowers (USD denom. debt). 

History says that the consensus is wrong and counters intuitively, when the Fed moves to neutral from easy (11 most recent cycles), USD weakened 55% of the time, with a median decline of 7% in the first year.

Below I've implemented screen results of stocks that might benefit from rising rate hikes. Stocks from the screen have fulfilled the following criteria:

Stock selection criteria...

(i) Stock’s price correlation to the USD (DXY Index) from 5/2014 – 3/2015 is less than -0.40

(ii) Mean implied upside based on analyst target prices is positive

(iii) P/E (‘15E and ‘16E) is below 25X but consensus EPS is positive

(iv) FCF yield is above 3%

(v) Company beat consensus EPS expectations the last 2 quarters.

7 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks With High Cash On Balance

Cash is King especially when the market is in crisis mode. It's also better to own stocks with a high cash balance than to trade high leveraged stocks. 

Cash enables canny corporate managers to be convex to volatility, raising the value of that cash, particularly should the Fed begin raising rates

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.

16 Incredible Stocks Converting Growth In Pure Return

Growth is wonderful but makes only sense when the company has a high return on assets. 

It's a massive money creating strategy to take cash and upscale a high returning business.

Today I've discovered some growth stock ideas with double digit returns on assets and operating margins with low price and debt ratios.

These are my criteria in detail:

- Large Cap

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Debt to Equity under 1

- Expected 5-Year EPS Growth over 5 percent

- Past 5-Year Sales Growth over 5 percent

- Forward P/E under 15

- 10 Percent ROA and Operating Margin

There were exactly 16 stocks that met my tight criteria. I'm also impressed by the sector diversification. A broad range of stocks from completely different industries stopped with these restrictions but technology stocks still dominating my results.

Technology is not the same. There are old-techs and new-tech companies. The first category delivers "commodities" for the following, new companies. Oracle, Microsoft and AT&T are such investments.

19 High Beta Technology Dividend Stocks At Reasonable Prices Compared To Growth

Cheap technology dividend stocks with highest beta ratios and good growth originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. High beta stocks are risky but they offer also big opportunities for risk seeking investors. The technology sector is one of the investment fields with a huge base of risk-adjusted business models.  Not every investment is a “win or fail” strategy.

Today I would like to continue my monthly screen serial about high beta stocks from several sectors. Technology dividend stocks are in my focus now. Because of the huge amount of high beta dividend paying technology stocks, I implemented three additional criteria in my screen: A very high market capitalization, an expected five year earnings per share growth as well as a low forward price-to-earnings ratio.

Growth should be over 10 percent for the next half decade and the P/E should below 15. In my view, this ratio represents a very good price for the future growth opportunity but the business model could be much riskier because of the high beta ratio. The betas of the 19 results are between 1.3 and 4. Some stocks like Telecom Italia, Orange or Broadcom have a really bad mid-term performance. Others like TE Connectivity from Swiss or Eaton increased during the same period by over 55 percent or more.
