International Business Machines (IBM): Next Portfolio Stock Purchase

On last Friday I needed to make a choice between IBM and Teva Pharmaceuticals. I decided to pick the technology stock despite the fact the IBM has a higher valuation in terms of price to earnings and debt to equity ratio.

The current valuation of IBM is 14.23 and the forward P/E is at 11.25. Also the dividend yield is the lowest below all portfolio holdings. It’s at 1.84 percent. Why buying IBM?

Compared to other high quality dividend growth stocks, IBM is still cheap like most other technology companies with a higher capitalization. IBM is the biggest basic pick within the sector and every long-term dividend growth investor need some shares of the company. As of now, I had no shares of the company and needed to pull the trigger for the first position.

The second reason to take a stake of IBM is the low cyclic and higher degree of safeness. With a $200+ billion company, you have much more possibilities to grow and the self finance ratio is also much higher. IBM makes huge share buybacks while TEVA needs to increase its capital basis. As you might see below, the dividend potenital compared to earnings per share is for IBM unbelievable high.

What makes IBM?

The company operates in five segments: Global Technology Services, Global Business Services, Software, Systems and Technology, and Global Financing. The Global Technology Services segment provides IT infrastructure and business process services, including strategic outsourcing, process, integrated technology, and technology support services.

How many shares?


I purchased 8 shares at 206.35 which resulted in a total purchase amount of $1,650.80. IBM is the thirteenth biggest stake in my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio (DYPI).

The DYP-Portfolio was funded virtual on October 03, 2012 with 100k. Since then, I purchased each week one stake for around 1k to 2k. Now, I still have $48.491.06 and 35 portfolio holdings.

The full portfolio income is now estimated at $1,807 per year. The average portfolio yield on cost amounts to 3.47 percent and the current yield of the portfolio is 3.20 percent.

22 Dividend Boosters From Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 13 stocks and 9 funds announced a dividend hike within the recent week. The number of dividend growers remains weak.

The biggest names on the list are United Health and Lowe’s as well as Fedex. In addition, five companies cut dividends and one announced a special initial dividend.

I know it’s hard to manage dividend growth especially when the company is acting within a very cyclic industry. But dividend growth is an expression to shareholders about the company’s success and the willingness to share profits with the ownership of the company.

10 of the 13 stocks are currently recommended to buy.

20 Most Hated Dividend Stocks From The Services Sector

Most sold short services dividend stocks originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The services sector is a big part of the economy and the financial markets. Roughly 850 companies have a relationship to the sector – That’s around 13.3 percent of the overall market by number of constituents.

Today I like to show you which services dividend stocks are most hated within the financial industry. Investors hate such stocks by selling them short. They believe in a falling stock price and want to profit from it.

My screen includes only mid- and large capitalized companies with a float short ratio of more than 5 percent.

The 20 most hated stocks have a float short ratio between 8.79 and 29.31 percent. Gamestop is the most sold company. Seven of the results have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

Next Week's 20 Best Yielding Ex-Dividend Stocks

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading week.

A full list of all stocks with payment dates can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks Between June 10 - 16, 2013. In total, 223 stocks and preferred shares go ex dividend - of which 90 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 3.71%.
