12 Stocks With A Fantastic Dividend History But Partly Flat Dividends (Part II)

A growing dividend is the basis for future wealth if they will be paid regular and grown over years.

Dividend growth investors focus on this issue and have strong efforts when selecting a stock.

Recently, I wrote about stocks with a wonderful dividend history but they are not part of the Dividend Champions League due to the fact that they have run its dividends flat for a while.

In my view, it's not a reason why you should not own the company. I've selected a few great names and hope you can find some inpirational ideas.

These are the results....

High-Yield Ex-Dividend Stocks Of The Next Week July 27 – Aug 02, 2015

Realty Income, a monthly dividend paying stock is on the list. I personally like Ford. Many guru's bought General Motors. Beware the cyclical sector. The financial crisis 2007 hit both companies hard.

REITS, Pipeline stocks and Oil companies dominating the list. You must definitely a tough investor to put money into those stocks.

If I go down the list with lower yields and less risky business models, I love PAYX, AES, CALM, ADT, EV, ETN, CAG, AMTD, TAP, HAS and some more. Which stocks do you like?

20 Cheapest Consumer Dividend Stocks

Consumer dividend stocks with cheap price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

I love consumer dividend stocks. Nearly 60 percent of my own stock allocation have a relationship to the sector. For sure they also had a very low performance compared to other stocks but they give me stability and trust to invest bigger amounts of money into the stock markt.

A few years before, I purchased consumer stocks for an average yield of 3.5 percent. Today the sector has a yield of 2.78 percent despite the fact that most of the consumer stocks raised year over year their dividends. Consumer stocks getting more and more expensive and the only core reason for this development is the expansive monetary policy.

Today I like to go forward with my monthly screens of the cheapest dividend stocks measured by the lowest forward P/E. The 20 cheapest stocks with a higher market capitalization are valuated between 7.8 and 12.5. Only one High-Yield is part of the results. Nearly all companies, 17 in total, are currently recommended to buy.

I Bought Coke And Sold NYSE Euronext Yesterday

Stocks I Bought and Sold Yesterday

Yesterday was an active trading day for me. I sold 90 share of the diversified investment group NYSE Euronext (NYX) at $36.50 and bought 100 shares of Coca Cola (KO).

No further fantasy for NYSE Euronext Shares

I sold NYX shares because the stock price is around 10% over the takeover price announced by the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE). I believe that it could be possible that another exchange could start a second offer and overbid the current price. So my sell-off was only a part of my full position. With the rest I could benefit from a higher offer. However, fantasy with the NYX is over. I don’t see any growth perspectives if the deal passes through. ICE, CME and BOCE are more interesting now.

My whole NYX stake was up around 40% and I like to hedge these gains. Now, everything is nearly safe and my big risk in this position is off.

In addition, I bought some shares of Coca Cola and increased my stake by a significant number. KO was the best performing of my core holdings over the recent years but compared to the other stocks I own, it is still an underperformer.

Cocal Cola is down, but long-term still a buy

KO was down 2.72% yesterday. The earnings results were solid but the market expected more. I don’t really care about the current price levels and quarter reports. They change too fast. I am a long-term investor. I bought several times KO shares and increased my position every time at a higher rate. That’s not a good choice but if my portfolio grows, I need to increase the total amount of my safe heaven core holdings.

I love stocks with very long dividend growth, a trustful managements and solid market positions in several markets worldwide. KO is definitely not cheap. The EV/EBITDA ratio is at 14! The yield is still acceptable at 2.72%. I expect that the yield should climb over 3% with the next dividend hike.

I have several beverage stocks and they all have a very high valuation. I don’t know why but in the market is a huge fight about big companies with strong brands and distribution power.

Companhia de Bebidas Das Americas offers a higher risk

Companhia de Bebidas Das Americas (ABV) is an aggressively buying company in the brewing industry. They lend huge amounts of debt to buy the biggest brewers in the world. I don’t like those offensive strategies, especially when they pay prices at 14x of the EBITDA, but they are somehow successful and the stock price explode. Coke is not cheap but solid. I believe that it should be possible to realize a yearly long-term return of 8% or more.

The Best Yielding S&P 500 Dividend Stocks Below Book Value

S&P 500 With Low Price-To-Book Ratios And Highest Yields Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The amount of equity is very important in order to identify the companies’ values. Often, there is a great difference between the market capitalization and the book value of a company. The gap is explainable with a high profitable business that doesn’t need much money to finance the business operations. Otherwise, the market expects better future perspectives and market conditions of which the company should benefit.

No rarity, but there are also stocks below book value. In this case you get for a dollar of your investment more than a dollar in the company’s assets if there is no asset bubble.

I screened the S&P 500 by stocks below book value and yields over two percent inflation target rate. 56 stocks fulfilled these criteria but only 17 have a yield of more than two percent. Three of the results are high yields and ten are currently recommended to buy.
