20 Highest Yielding Asian ADR's

The search for yield is increasingly difficult, with interest rates around the world now close to record lows. This could push investors toward Asian high dividend stocks.

I recently started looking more closely at Asian ADRs I know well. Many names have come up enough, or have increased their dividend payout enough, that they may now be attractive to US investors looking for yield. 

These yields are, in most cases, a bit lower than what one would find in the US. However, I think they possess some advantages from which an investor looking for a high-yield portfolio of securities might benefit.

Investors should still remain selective in the Asian high dividend space, focusing on those with stable cash flow and a track record of sustainable dividends. Within traditional Asian high dividend sectors, I like Singapore and Hong Kong real estate investment trusts, and select telecom stocks.

Attached you will find a selection of the highest yielding, higher capitalized Asian dividend stocks, listed as a ADR.

15 Higher Capitalized Dividend Stocks Close To New 52-Week Lows

New Breakout Stocks By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Sometimes it makes sense to observe stocks with an ongoing sell-off. The background is to find stocks with a possible turnaround story and to bet on a strong bull race. Oversold stocks are often traded at new lows but they could recover in a fast way. If the company pays stable dividends, it should increase the expected total return for an investor. However, here is a current screen of high-yield stocks that are close to their 52-Week Lows (up to 3 percent). In order to eliminate stocks with higher risk, I screened only companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. As a result, 15 stocks are near to their 52-Week Lows of which six have a yield over three percent and eleven are recommended to buy.

11 Higher Capitalized Dividend Stocks For Less Than $5

Large- And Midcapitalized Stocks Under USD 5 Dollar Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. It is a very stupid asset strategy to buy stocks with a low stock price. Somehow, many people believe that a lower price should allow them to buy more shares and increase the leverage of their investment. In times of margin trading, options, obligations, derivatives and CFD’s, there should be a smarter way to increase your investment leverage.

In order to proof what kind of stocks are available for less than USD 5 Dollar which are not garbage, I made a screen of stocks with a stock price under USD 5 with a positive dividend yield and a market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion. Eleven companies remained of which three have a double-digit yield and additional three have high yields. Five are at least recommended to buy.

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.
