20 Cheap Dividend Contenders With Real Low Debt Figures

Dividend Contenders with low debt and cheap price ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend Contenders have raised their dividend payments over 10 years in a row but not more than 25 consecutive years. There are over 200 stocks with such an impressive dividend growth history but not all of them are really good. Every stock has a something that an investor loves and hates. The perfect stock does not exist.

Today I would like to screen the Dividend Contenders category by cheap stocks (forward P/E below 15) with the lowest debt ratios. For passive investors, it's very important to own low leveraged growth stocks because they can expect further dividend hikes. If you purchase them at reasonable prices, you can increase the possibility for a good return.

Twelve of the 20 cheap Contenders with very low debt to equity ratios have a buy or better rating and four yield over three percent. Many insurer and banks are on the list. The financial sector is very strong.

Next Week's 20 Top 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 July 19 - 28, 2013. In total, 31 stocks go ex dividend - of which 12 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 4.08%.
