We like the company due to the high market share within the semiconductor industry (The biggest rival is Texas Instruments with a market capitalization of $32 billion, one third from the valuation of Intel). The stock is a basic investment for technology investors with one of the most attractive dividend yields within the sector. The company is acting in a very cyclic industry but has a beta ratio of only 1.06. Despite the fact that the company is near one-year lows, we believe that the sell-off could go on due to recession items. Another big burden is the low market share in the very fast growing Smartphone market. Intel raised dividends for 9 consecutive years (Dividend Challenger) and has a long-term dividend growth rate over 25 percent. The company serves $10.5 billion on cash and short-term investments at $7.2 billion debt. The strong operating cash flow (EBITDA of $23.2 billion) leads to an investment payback of 4.4 years.

The Cheapest Mid-Capitalized Dividend Stocks With Highest Yield

Cheapest Dividend Midcap Stocks With Highest Dividend Yield Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Midcap stocks, stocks with a market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion but less than USD 10 billion, are not in focus of mainstream investors. In comparison to large cap stocks, they are cheaper and they offer a higher yield. The price for this bargain is also  a higher risk.

I screened all mid-capitalized stocks with a dividend yield over five percent (high yield) and a single P/E ratio of less than ten. Thirteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which five have a double digit yield; five are recommended to buy. The highest yield comes from YPF S.A. (YPF), an Argentina oil and gas refining and marketing company. The company is in process to be taken over by the government and lost half of its worth over the past year.

14 High Yield Stocks With Low Debt Ratios That Are Still Cheap In Terms Of Coming Growth

Stocks With Low PEG Ratios And Low Debt To Equity Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Sometimes, people only watch at the single P/E ratio which measures the price valuation of a company in relation to its earnings. A high P/E leads similar to a "not buy" decision. But high P/E ratios also express the growth of the company. A stock that doubles earnings every three years is it worth to pay 20 times of earnings. The price-earnings to growth (PEG) ratio is a figure that solves this problem. However, I’ve tried so screen the market by stocks that look cheap in terms of growth (a PEG ratio below one). In addition, the stocks should have a low debt to equity ratio (ratio below 0.3) and a dividend yield of more than five percent (high yields). Fourteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which six have a double digit yield. Ten stocks have a buy or better recommendation.
