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.

Half-Time Report: The Best Healthcare Dividend Stocks And Which Of Them Are The Cheapest

Healthcare dividend stocks with the highest year-to-date performance originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We’ve completed the month June and it’s time to report which stocks have risen most within the first six months of the year. It’s ever good to see which stocks are hot in the market and which of them are still cheap valuated.

That’s the main reason why I like to produce an article serial with performance figures of the best performing stocks from several sectors of the financial market.

Today I like to screen the healthcare sector by dividend stocks with the highest stock performance since the beginning of the year.

The 20 most successful companies have realized a performance between 22.01 percent and 73.98 percent. The average capital gain was 36.24 percent. Despite the strong stock price hike, seventeen of them still have a buy or better rating.

20 Cheapest Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Wow, the stock market rises from month to month. The negative thing is that stock prices rise faster than the earnings and stocks getting therefore more expensive. This is a development which is still healthy because of the low yielding bond market. But it’s not sustainable if the interest rates rise. Everybody can imagine what happens if the Fed hikes its rates.

So, my major screening focus goes to cheap stocks, stocks with a low price to earnings ratio. Below is a list of the 20 cheapest healthcare dividend stocks with a forward P/E of less than 15. Health care plans companies are currently the cheapest choice in the list. Two High-Yields are part of the results and fifteen companies are recommended to buy.
