38 High Yielding Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In July 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I’m a dividend investor and I need every time a quick overview about the best ex-dividend stocks on the market.

Believe me, the ex-dividend date is no margin trade opportunity or something else. It’s more an information tool to get a quick cash return when buying dividend stocks.

Every month, I create a small list about interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date for the next month. I think it could bring you some values to see what companies pay you cash next month with an attractive equity story.

As result, I found 37 stocks with an average dividend yield of 5.38 percent. Five stocks have a double-digit yield and ten a high yield. 17 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.

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 July 01 - 07, 2013. In total, 56 stocks and preferred shares go ex dividend - of which 21 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 3.15%.

20 Of The Safest Dividend Challengers On The Market

Dividend Challengers with lowest beta ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love high-quality dividend growth stocks and the stocks with the longest history of consecutive payments are definitely Dividend Kings and Dividend Champions. But the big disadvantage of them is that they are also highly priced.

You cannot make a greater return with stocks that have a P/E ratio of 22 and grows only at 5 percent. You need real bargains to make big profit with your asset.

This problem can be solved when you look into the dividend potentials. Those stocks haven’t yet reached a longer dividend payment history but they can become a great Dividend Champion within the next years. The price ratios are also lower for some companies and you have a better choice to find good investments because out there are around 160 stocks with five or more years of consecutive dividend payments and 207 with a payment between 10 to 25 years.

Today I like to screen the third class of dividend growth stocks by the safest alternatives. The 20 safest dividend growth stocks have a beta ratio between 0.18 and 0.55. All three top picks come from the oil & gas pipeline industry, a branch with very stable sales and future growth perspectives due to the shale gas boom in the United States.

From the 20 safest Dividend Challengers have nine a current buy or better rating.
