Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of September 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Cheap stocks, bargains or undervalued companies can promise you good returns if you believe that they receive a better valuation within the next months or years. It’s very difficult to discover those stocks because of the hundreds of thousands technical and fundamental measures.

I often used my static ratios like earnings multiples or book ratios to identify cheaply valuated stocks. Today I like to change my recent criteria about cheapest dividend paying large caps a little bit. I tighten the restriction Price-To-Sales to a value of less than one and look at forward P/E’s. In the past, I’ve looked at current earnings multiples.

These are the criteria for my cheapest dividend paying large cap screen:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next five years

- Forward P/E ratio under 15

- P/S under 1 and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

The number of my results rose. Eighteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which one pays a high yield of more than five percent. Nearly all, fourteen in total, got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

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.

20 Cheapest Technology Dividend Stocks | Innovative Growth At Low Valuation

Technology dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The stock market goes up and its getting hard to find real bargains. The technology sector is still one of the sectors with cheap assets. Institutional investors love this field because of the high margin growth opportunities.

I’ve found no reason why stocks from the old technology area are so low priced. You can buy some of the major players for enterprise values of 5-10. That’s damn cheap if you compare this figure with companies like Coca Cola. There you pay 12 times of the enterprise value. One reason could be that the technology is changing very fast and every technology could lose their advantage in only a few years. But a ratio of 3 for technology market leader?

However, today I like to proceed with my monthly dividend screen of the cheapest stocks measured by the lowest forward P/E. Because of the huge amount of stocks and the higher risk from smaller companies, I observe only shares with a market cap over USD 10 billion.

The 20 cheapest technology stocks have a valuation multiple between 5.7 and 11.1 of the expected earnings. Two stocks with a double-digit yield are below the results and nine are currently recommended to buy.

Below, I listed all stocks with a yield over four percent.


Two industries are strongly represented: The domestic and foreign telecom services industry. In my view, these industries offer values for investors but for technology stocks, there are better investments with higher growth. The big burdens of telecom services stocks are huge infrastructure investments due to higher data volumes and low pricing power due to legislation rules and competitive forces. If you want to make big money within the technology sector, you should look at IT stocks and software companies.
