11 Cheap High Beta Consumer Goods Dividend Stocks

Cheap high beta dividend stocks from the consumer goods sector originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You might know that I really love stocks from the consumer goods sector. They offer a very good risk profile for income seeking investors with a desire for future dividend growth. The problem is that they are also highly valuated. This was one of the reasons why I needed to purchase more and more stocks from other sectors like industrials and healthcare stocks.

I’m not worried about this because with every single stock purchase of other industries and sectors, my diversification rises. The second negative item in terms of consumer good stocks is that most of them are low beta stocks. If you like to make money in a strong upside market, you lose performance with low beta stocks.

This is the reason why I discovered some high beta stocks with attractive valuation figures this month in an article serial. If you are interested, here are the links to the articles:

· 15 Cheap High Beta Industrial Dividend Stocks

· 13 Cheap High Beta Basic Material Dividend Stocks

· 18 High Beta Services Dividend Paying Stocks

· 9 High Beta Utilities | Good Yields At High Potential

· 19 High Beta Technology Dividend Stocks At Reasonable Prices Compared To Growth

· 17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

· Cheap Financial Dividend Stocks With +15% Expected 5Y Earnings Growth

Back the current screen about high beta consumer dividend stocks. I observed this time large capitalized consumer dividend stocks with a low forward P/E and a beta ratio above one.

My screen produced only eleven results with yields between 0.71 percent and 2.58 percent. Nearly all of them (10 stocks) have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.
