13 High Beta Dividend Champions With Cheap Forward P/E’s

Dividend Champions with high beta ratios and low valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The Dividend Champions list is a compressed compilation of stocks with the longest dividend growth history. Those stocks raised their cash dividend payments over a period of more than 25 years.

In my current article serial, I write about high beta stocks and the possibility to make more money in a bullish market with high beta stocks. High beta stocks are stronger correlated with the market and can result in a higher performance.

Today I would like to observe those Dividend Champions with a beta ratio above one as well as a forward P/E below 15. It’s very important to make sure that the companies are cheap because only with a high initial earnings yield you can increase the possibility of a good long-term total return. Thirteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which ten are currently recommended to buy.

18 High Beta Services Dividend Paying Stocks With High Growth And Low Valuation

Services dividend stocks with high betas and big growth at low valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to go forward with my monthly screen serial about high beta dividend stocks. Beta is a financial stock market ratio that shows how much the performance of a stock differs from the performance of the overall market. Beta ratios over one mean that the stock is stronger correlated to the market. Shares of the company move stronger up and down.

In bullish markets, you can make a better performance if you have high beta stocks in your portfolio. Today I would like to show you which of the services dividend stocks have the highest betas. Because of the huge amount of results, I needed to implement additional criteria. All stocks should have a low valuation measured by a forward P/E under 15 at earnings per share growth rates for the next five years of more than 10 percent yearly. Not enough, all stocks must have a market valuation over USD 10 billion.

Eighteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Sixteen have a current buy or better rating. The disadvantage is that the best results are low yielders. The highest dividend yield amounts to 2.81 percent. Low yields don’t mean low returns: The stocks generated a return between 8.94 percent and 76.75 percent since the beginning of the trading year.
