9 Multi Generation Stocks: Dividend Stocks With A 200 Year Payment History

Long-term investors looking for stocks with positive earnings growth for the future and sales boost as well. I personally look at the past performance or history of a company. 

If I see doubled sales over the past decade, it could be a good sign for a rosy business environment.

A solid business environment is the basis for dividend growth and share buybacks. Only a smart company with rising operating structures can increase the shareholder value over the long run.

If you followed my blog for years, you might have read often articles about stocks with the longest dividend growth history, 50 year or more. Those are real Dividend Kings, the top of the top stocks.

I've enlarged the screen by showing you stocks with 100 years of dividend payments. They reduced dividends but paid always money to its owners.


Today I will give you a snapshot of stocks that paid dividends over 200 years or more. Yes, you read right, 200 years. That’s a generation project.

Here are the results....

This Handful Of Stocks Have Serious Upside Potential In 2016

Equity investors should consider companies with strong balance sheets that will outperform those with weak balance sheets. That's my key investing rule for the next year 2015.

Divergent monetary policies will strengthen the U.S. dollar and benefit some stocks and harm others.



The domestic consumer economy is strong but many industrial companies cite a contraction in business activity.

Growth equities are outperforming value which is a pattern that occurs when economic growth is weak.

Cyclical stocks have lagged sharply led by Energy and Materials but defensive sectors trade at stretched valuations.

As a result, stocks with high sales in the U.S. will outperform those with significant international sales.

Attached you can find 14 stocks that might benefit from the current market environment. Each of the results has a strong balance sheet, growth forecasts above the GDP Growth and margin improvement potential.


Only stocks from the S&P 500 are part of my screen. 

14 dividend paying companies remain. 

Here are the best yielding results...


The Cheapest Stocks On Deutsche Bank’s List Of The 30 S&P 500 Constituents

Attached you can find a great list from Deutsche Bank. It's a very detailed list with P/E's, EPS growth, yield and buyback yield.

All of the qualifying companies have a market capitalization > $10 billion, trade at a 2015 P/E of less than 22 and are expected to report positive earnings growth this year.

Also, Deutsche Bank’s equity research team has calculated a Net Buyback Yield for each of its 30 stock picks (trailing 12-month buyback expenditures less option exercise proceeds and less stock option expense / Market Cap).

7 Most Undervalued Stocks In Warren Buffett's Basket

In a market that seems to have more downside than up, it's better to start with companies that generate more stable earnings such as companies in sectors of Consumer Staples, Utilities, and Healthcare.

Warren Buffett is a smart guy and some of the professional investors cover his activities. What we can do is to look at his Holdings and select those with an undervalued tendency.

Well, it's hard to predict an over or undervaluation or even fair valuation due to the uncertainty of the future but we can make prima assumptions in terms of future growth and compare them with current price ratios.

By doing this, we can discover some undervalued stocks in Warren Buffett's portfolio. 

Here are the 7 best results...


Warren Buffett Sells This First Class Stock And Buys Another Profit Machine

Warren Buffett is one of the most successful investors due to is massive investment success. His strategy is classified as value growth, a combination of value and growth.

Recently, I watched his latest portfolio activities via 13F fillings. As a result, we know that he bought one new stock and increased two additional stakes.

On the sell side, he sold out two companies and reduced three stocks. The biggest of them by investment amount were Philips 66, followed by Viacom.

Do you believe that Buffett is right with the stake reduction of Viacom? I don't think so. For sure, Charter is a better growth pick but if Viacom changes it's strategy from a buyback value pick to a growth stock, there could be a huge potential for investors.

However, these are the latest stock purchases by Warren Buffett. Attached is also a list of stocks with all activities of the recent quarter. Please leave a comment if you have something to discuss. Thank you.

Here are the results of the latest buys and sells....

Dividend Growers of the Week

I'm a dividend growth investor and watch daily what companies have raised their dividends. During the past week, seven stocks with a market capitalization of more than 1 billion increased dividends. Five of them have a current yield of more than 4 percent.

I've compiled all stocks with dividend growth in one sheet. Attached, you can find the list. The biggest names are U.S. Bancorp which Warren Buffett also owns. He recently added the company to his portfolio. 

Agilent, Morgan Stanley and the monthly dividend payer Realty Income increased dividends. 

Others are the fast growing semiconductor company Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) who has an unbelievable momentum as well as the Retail REIT W.P. Carey.

Agilent is also a stock that Warren Buffett should love while Morgan Stanley announced a huge dividend hike in April this year. Realty Income is still one of the most favored High-Yield stocks that pay monthly dividends.

Many banks and REITs are on the list. It should be a sign that those stocks benefit from low interest rates and quantitative easing.

Banks benefit not as much as REITs due to the low interest rates, but banks start to hike because their regulation allows it after the shocking financial crises in 2008.

Remember that those two industries are not in my dividend growth focus because they are cyclic and offer a kind of black-box for investors which I don't like. I like to see what I get.

Here are the dividend growers of the week:

Warren Buffett Buys Surprisingly These 8 Dividend Stocks

Warren Buffett is one of the most respected investors on the market at current times.

He created a massive portfolio in his life which is worth around $107 billion. Recently, Warren announced his latest stock buys and sells during the past quarter. 

His moves are watched closely because value and dividend growth investors try to catch a new idea from his thoughts and strategic buys and sells.

During the past quarter, Warren bought eight stocks and reduced seven positions. He did not close a full position or initiated a new.

The biggest acquisition by value was Wells Fargo, followed by Visa. Most of his stock increases had a P/E of less than 15 and pay a dividend.

These are the latest dividend stock buys from Warren Buffett from Q1/2015...


Warren Buffett Buys Surprisingly These 8 Dividend Stocks (WMT, GM, IBM, VZ ...)

Warren Buffett is one of the most trusted investors in the world. Recently, he came out with his 13F Filling which informs about the recent investment activity.

I studied Warren's latest buys and sells. My thoughts are clear: He invest into calbe and telecom stocks. Below is a small overview of his latest purchases. In addition, I've implemented a detailed view on his latest dividend buys for you.

In total, Warren bought 13 stocks of which eight pay dividends. The highest yielding company was the telcom company Verizon followed by the car maker General Motors.

His total portfolio value hit the USD 107 billion benchmark and around 65 percent of his assets are invested into four companies (Wells Fargo, Coca Cola, American Express and IBM as well).

45 percent of his assets have a relationship to the financial sector. Insurance stocks have made him rich in the past but I think those shares were only a strong cash source for further investments. 

Buffett is a great investors with a fantastic sense for good investments but everybody should develop his own investment style.
