Dogs of the Dow Jones Index As Of June 2013

Dogs of the Dow Jones originally published on “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Today I like to deliver you an update of the price ratios from the current Dogs of the Dow Jones. The two telecom carrier AT&T as well as Verizon are still the top yielding stocks on the list. They are followed by semiconductor company Intel and drug producers Merck and Pfizer. Nothing new compared to the results from last month.

The philosophy behind is to buy ten stocks of the Dow Jones with the highest dividend yield and lowest price to earnings ratio at the beginning of the year and to hold these stocks for a year. After this period, the investor should sell stocks that are no more Dogs of the Dow and buy therefore new Dogs of the Dow. Below is an updated sheet of the ten best Dogs of the Dow. They have the lowest expected price to earnings ratio and highest dividend yield within the Dow Jones index.

Summarized, the 10 cheapest stocks of the Dow Jones have an average dividend yield of 3.50 percent as well as a forward P/E ratio of 12.20. The average P/B ratio amounts to 2.72 and P/S ratio is 2.48.

15 Cheapest Share Buyback Achievers With Growth Potential

Stocks from the Share Buyback Achievers Index with cheap price ratios and growth potential originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". As you might know, I love growing dividends from a company but my dividend approach has a great fault: It doesn’t take great cash cows with no dividend payments into account.  

A dividend payment is only one way to distribute money back to shareholders. A second way is to buy own shares back. Some companies repurchase their shares instead of the dividend payment and they try to boost earnings per share growth with this model. It’s a very tax-optimized method, especially if you use debt for this process as happened with Apple.

I also look at the number of shares repurchases when I consider buying a stock. The total amount of cash distribution is critical and not the amount of dividend payments in the past. Some companies gave back money in the amount of their whole company over the recent five years and they try to follow this approach for the future. That’s what I really like.

Out there is a great index that covers some of the best dividend growth stocks with share repurchases and adds the best share buyback companies. Within the recent 12 months, all constituents needed to buy at least five percent of their own outstanding shares.

Today I like to screen the Share Buyback Achievers Index by the cheapest dividend stocks with additional growth potential. I selected stocks with a low forward P/E (under 15) as well as a P/B and P/S ratio of less than one. In addition, the five year earnings per share should grow at least with five percent or more.

Fifteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Half of the results pay a dividend between 1 percent and 2.5 percent. The rest is only focused on share buybacks. The good thing is that nine companies have a current buy or better rating.
