7 Stocks With Current Shareholder Yields Of 15% Or More

You know that dividends are essential but buybacks also play a significant role in creating shareholder value.

A low dividend doesn't mean that the corporate pay low amounts of cash to shareholders. Some companies decided to buy back own shares. The shareholder yield (dividend yield plus buyback yield) is essential and tells the truth.

Today I would like to show you those 7 stocks with the highest shareholder yields. I'm not talking about yields of 5 percent or so. I'm taking the extreme of 15 percent or more. The results came from Goldman Sachs latest Total Cash Return to Shareholders list from April 23, 2015.

These are the top results in detail:

3 Dow Jones Stocks With Shareholder Yields Over 10%

This blog is mostly dedicated to dividend growth stocks and yield is an important issue but it tells investors only half of the truth.

Beside dividend payments to shareholders, the company can also spend money for share buybacks. If we combine buybacks and dividends, we got a new yield, a shareholder yield, which is normally higher than the current dividend yield.

Below is a list of stocks from the Dow Jones which shows the current shareholder yields of the index. The results are better than the dividend yields due to positive share buybacks. Only three stocks have a double-digit shareholder yield.

Here are the top results with a 10+ percent shareholder yield...

Money Raiser Of The Week: 7 Top Stocks With Fresh Dividend Growth Or Share Buybacks

Dividend growth and share buybacks are two main activities to increase the potential shareholder value and give money back to their owners. 

I like those transactions because it's a clear signal to investors which get rewarded by taking risk and borrowing money.

There is no free lunch and you might agree with me that each good managed company should raise dividends in order to satisfy investors. 

For sure some companies have no possibility to give money back to the financial market because of slipping sales and margin pressure. My answer: Those stocks are not in focus of my research!

Today I like to highlight stocks that gave investors more money via dividend growth or share buybacks within the recent week. These are some of the biggest companies:

5 Best Dividend Growth And Buyback Stocks Of The Week

One of my main thought related to investments is "how fast can the company pay my money back".

It's one of the basic principals in investing. Put your money into stocks that drive you cash back in a very short period of time. The smaller the pace, the bigger your return will be.

Warren Buffett bought BNSF Railway in November 3, 2009 for around USD 44 billion. It sounds like a huge amount of money but the railroad company who travelled 169 million miles in 2010 paid warren since his acquisition around $15 billion in dividends. Not bad for an old-school business.

Below I've compiled like each week stocks that have raised dividends during the past week. In addition, you can also find a list of those stocks which have released a share buyback program.

Receiving money, direct or indirect should help passive investors like me to hedge a minimum amount of return.


82 Shareholder Friendly Stocks of the Week

7 Good Stocks With Return Promise

Buying big companies with strong cash flows and competitive advantages is one of my key philosophies when I think about investments. 

I also like such companies that grow and give more and more money back to shareholders.

I believe that each company should work for its owners and give them a good and solid return. 

That's one of the reasons why I'm scouting each week for the latest stocks with dividend growth and share buyback announcements.

Below are seven large caps with shareholder-friendly activities. I've tried to select a good mix from several sectors and industries but you can also find more by looking at the full list of dividend growers at the end of this article. I hope you get some inspirations.

My 5 Favorite Stocks With Dividend Growth Of The Week

During the past Week, 64 companies increased their dividend payments. The biggest stocks are AbbVie, Visa, Halliburton, Energy Transfer Equity and the apparel company V.F. Corporation.

Four stocks from the dividend growers list have a forward P/E of less than 10 and eleven have a dividend yield over 5 percent. Below are my five favorites. You might agree or not.

Most of them are different and they don’t look like real Dividend Aristocrats or Dividend Champions as in the past articles.

My focus for this selection was mainly on Large Cap. I personally have no shares of them and don’t like to buy some in the near future but it’s always good to know what companies have hiked dividends because in five years or so, they could become to a new Dividend Challenger.

Big names on the Buyback side were Pfizer, AbbVie, Canadian National Railway, Parker-Hannfin, Nielsen and CarMax.

In total, 27 stocks announced a new, additional or increased share buyback program. The total buyback volume for the future is over USD 25 billion.

35 Companies To Pay More Cash For Its Owners

The markets drive into panic while volatility is rising. Did you buy some stocks during the small sell-off?

I did but only one micro position. I still believe that the markets are too expensive and wait.

No, the world will not go down! That's something I can promise you whatever happens. If the markets falls he will one day recover because of the growing world population who wants to satisfy their desires.

The national monetary banks are printing money and they won't keep cash expensive. Everybody should be liquid and the economic growth and employment figures are more important than inflation, that's the key statement of the FED.

In general, I love it when stock prices fall because companies become cheaper and one day I can buy a high quality company for a solid price. Dividends and share buybacks are also two shareholder friendly activities about which I care.

I like to see that the company not only pays dividends to satisfy their shareholder, they should grow their sales, income and dividends as well.

All of this actions is only sustainable if the corporate structure grows, if the firm employs more people, sells more units at the same margin. 

I told you and my friends: Only a growing company is a good company and those will give your portfolio a raise when you haven't overpaid them.

During the past week, a few companies raised their dividends and announced a new stock buyback program. The biggest dividend growers are Goldman Sachs, Enterprise Products Partners as well as Texas Instruments.

On the share buyback side, 14 companies announced a new or additional buyback plan. Brown-Forman, GAP and J.M. Smucker are the biggest stocks on the list.

Big Dividend Growth And Share Buybacks: These Are My 5 Top Picks Of The Week

The week comes to an end and I like to show you the latest dividend grower and share buyback companies in this article.

It was also a hard week for short-term orientated investors because volatility rises due to topics like Ebola and a weaker European economy.

The Dow lost 2.73 percent within the past week while the S&P 500 was down 3.12 percent and NASDAQ down 4.44 percent.

You know that I have not sold any of my stockholdings. I'm not a fearful investor who sells his wonderful businesses and cash-in some money, pay taxes and waiting for new opportunities.

I like to make money with stocks by holding them over a decade or more. Only over a long period of time, companies can create value.

I keep my eyes on new targets which were very rare in the past because American stocks are some of the most expensive companies in the whole world but they offer also the biggest insurance for investors. 

The Dollar is a safe heaven and he still dominates the world. I keep my money into USD.


One-Week Performance Major Indices (Click to enlarge)

Within the past week, only one big company - Kimberly-Clark, announced a 2 billion buyback program. The next biggest program came from Liberty Interactive.

On the dividend growth side, twelve companies raised dividend payments. The biggest companies here were Kraft Foods and Plains All American Pipeline.

Many oil- and gas pipeline companies are part of the dividend growers list. Those companies have experienced a big boom by creating energy infratructure but they have also high debt figures, compareable with REITs or Telecoms.

Below are my five favorites from the week. I hope you like my selection. I personally own only KFT and KMB, both are consumer giants.

Compared to the dividend growth results of the past week, the numer of stocks is still weak.

10 Stocks With The Highest Share Buyback Volume In 2014

I'm a big fan of dividend growth but I also like stocks that buy back own shares. By reducing its own outstanding shares, earnings per share could get a boot.

It’s the highest shareholder friendly activity that a company can make but also very sensitive because buybacks will shut down eelier than dividend growth.

Many companies from the S&P 500 pay good dividends and buy on a regular basis shares in the same amount. If you have a stable business model, you can easily do both without hurting your operational business.

Recently, the buyback numbers from the S&P were released and some financial research firms jumped on that data to create researches. I have read them and I want to share the best buyback companies with you here today.

Most of the stocks with the highest buyback volume in Q2 outperformed the market. These are the companies with the strongest buyback programs:

My 6 Favorite Dividend Growth And Share Buyback Stocks Of The Week

I've traveled last week which was one of the reasons why I haven’t made a clear post on this blog during the past week. I hope you are not worried about this.

Today I've compiled the latest dividend growth stocks and share buyback announcements. Twelve companies have released a share buyback program but only Lockheed Martin was the company with significant influence.

The military provider to the U.S. Government plans to buy additional $2 billion in own shares in the future. That's good news for shareholders and those will also receive more money by dividends. Lockheed also boosted its dividend payments by 12.78 percent. The new yield will hit the 3.3 percent level.

On the dividend growth side, only 14 companies or funds/trusts announced to pay higher dividends. The biggest company was Lockheed Martin followed by the electric utility stock OGE Energy.

In my view there were no interesting companies on the attached list. For sure you need a second check but for my own asset allocation, which excluded highly cyclical stocks and financials/banks/trusts etc...The research effort was very small for me.

What do you think from the latest dividend grower and share repurchaser? Do you like them or do you own one of them? Please let me known by leaving a little comment on this blog. Thank you for reading my blog.
