5 High Yield Dividend Stocks With High Beta Ratios

While investing in stocks with high dividends may be a good scheme to reinforce your loss-aversion principle, playing the market to dodge volatility requires some extra cautious steps. Beta measures the extent to which a fund’s return may be affected or how much the price fluctuates owing to market conditions.

A high beta shows normally how the performance of a single stock differs from the overall market. The higher the ratio, the bigger the out- or underperformance develops.

It's great if you like to be different, a star or a looser on the market.

Today I like to show you those higher capitalized dividend stocks with beta ratios over 1.5 and dividend yields over 5%. In order to keep the over levered stocks off the list, I only observed stocks with a debt to equity ratio under 1.

14 stocks fulfilled my criteria of which eight have a low forward P/E.

Here are the results...

20 Cheap Foreign Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4% And Solid Growth And Debt Fundamentals

Many individual investors count on dividend payments they receive for buying shares in certain companies. But with the S&P 500 Index yielding an average of only 2.1%, it is important income investors consider global stocks to maximize their total return.

Income-oriented investors, who focus only or primarily on the United States, are limiting themselves to one of the least dividend-rich stock markets to gain a secure income. This is not bad but abroad is also nice yields available which become higher when the dollar is falling one day. I believe that this will happen one day. 

Attached, I've put a few high-quality dividend paying stocks from abroad that are listed in the United States. As of today, there are 886 foreign companies listed of which 398 pay a dividend. I cannot list of them here so I need to make a difference between them. I decided to list only stocks with a 2 billion+ market cap and a low forward P/E, expected earnings growth over 5% and solid debt ratios. 

These stocks jumped into my eyes...

17 High Yields With Additional Potential To Grow Dividends

High yielding stocks with low payout and debt ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Yesterday, I made a screen of Dividend Contenders with low long-term debt to equity ratios as well as slim payouts.

Today I like to widen the latest screen to High-Yields with a market capitalization over USD 300 million. Most of the high yielding stocks are full of debt. The only companies with a smaller amount of loans are such with a lower capitalization. The risks are much higher for those shares. I also needed to lower my screening guidance because of the small amount of results. These are my new criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 300 million

- Dividend Yield over 5 percent

- Long-term debt to equity above 0.6

- Payout ratio under 50 percent

Now, twelve stocks fulfill these criteria. Six of the results have a current buy or better rating.

13 Of The Best Dividend Paying High Yields

Best Dividend Paying High Yields Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. High Yields are stocks with a dividend yield of more than five percent. 857 listed companies have such a high yield but not all of them have a sustainable dividend and pay the best dividends at the market.

In order to find the best dividend paying growth stocks from the investment class High Yield stocks, I screened all companies with a five percent dividend yield, great earnings per share growth of more than 10 percent and an operating margin over 15 percent. To get the best results in terms of low debt and high cash, the debt to equity ratio should be under 0.5. Thirteen High Yields remained of which nine are currently recommended to buy. The best recommended stock is City Telecom HK (CTEL) with a yield of 16.47 percent and a strong buy rating.

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.

11 Technology Dividend Stocks With Accelerated Growth

Technology Dividend Stocks With Gaining Momentum Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Growth stocks are wonderful especially if they are at the beginning of their growth path. Growth normally creates shareholder value and if the company doesn’t need much money to finance the growth, you can benefit already within the early stage.

In order to find some growth opportunities from the technology sector with current dividend payments, I screened the technology sector by stocks with a recent earnings growth of more than ten percent (past five years). In order to catch up only those stocks with a gaining earnings growth, I observed only stocks with a quarter over quarter sales and earnings per share growth of more than fifteen percent. Exactly eleven companies fulfilled these criteria. Ten of them are recommended to buy.

14 High Profitable Technology Stocks With A Yield Over 3%

Technology Dividend Stocks With High Return On Investments And Big Operating Margins Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Technology stocks are characterized by high growth, high margins and low dividends. They normally pay low dividends because they want to finance new technologies with high growth potential. Many of the big IT companies serve billions of cash but they don’t know where to invest it.

I screened the technology sector by the most profitable stocks (stocks with an operating margin and return on investment over 20 percent) with a dividend yield over 3 percent. Exactly fourteen companies fulfilled these criteria. Most of the results come from the semiconductor or communication industry. Four stocks have a double digit yield and five are recommended to buy or they have a strong buy rating.

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.

16 Solid Financed Dividend Stocks With Best Yields

Big Dividend Paying Stocks With Low Debt And Good Yields Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The level of debt is important for dividend investors. A high leveraged company has problems to finance dividends and growth in the same way. We love stocks with low payout ratios, low debt and strong cash flows. That’s why we made a screen of stocks with very low debt to equity ratios (a value of less than 0.1) with a minimum dividend yield of three percent. Exactly 147 companies fulfilled these criteria but the big part of the results has a small market capitalization and includes a higher risk for a dividend cut. Only 16 stocks have a capitalization over USD 2 billion and, who has known, six are high yields and additional six are recommended with a buy or better rating.
