8 Predictable Dividend Stocks At Multi-Year Price-To-Book Value Lows

Stocks with a predictable business and historical low P/B ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to use my new gurufocus screener to get new stock ideas. I always hunt for value but I don’t want to add up too much risk in my portfolio.

For sure, there is no free lunch at the market and everybody must accept a fluctuating stock price. But in my view, there are different ways to take risk. Some are natural and others are not calculable risks, created by the company or the environment in which the corporate acts.

Let’s come back to my value stock screener. I would like to try out the Low P/B Companies screener by gurufocus and I’m glad to share the top yielding results with you here.

The screener supports only stocks that have grown sales and earnings over the past decade consistently. They are somehow predictable and high-quality stocks. The screener compares the current P/B ratios with the 10-Year average values of the ratio and plots the top 25 companies with the lowest spreads.

Only eight stocks of the top 25 results have a yield over 2 percent and three of them got a buy or better rating.

100 Most Bought Stocks By Investment Gurus

100 most bought stocks by investment professionals originally published on Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Big investors are sometimes better informed about the issues of a company. They know where to find low hanging fruits and to make profits. It could make sense for us normal investors to observe the activities from the big investors in order to get a feeling about the good and bad companies, stocks that investors love and hate.

Each month, I develop a little screen about the largest stock buys from 49 super investors. I analyze how often a stock was bought over the recent six months and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list. All super gurus combined bought 631 stocks within the recent half year; they seem to be more bullish.

In my view, it’s a good tool to look at the activities of the guru investors in the market because they have huge amounts of capital and if they invest combined, they can change the market very easy. Their attitude to stocks is also lightning the way to return, not always but sometimes because the media notices the portfolio changes of the hedge fund managers and create additional publicity.

Technology is still the place to be for the investment guru’s. The top three results from the guru 100 best buy list are all tech stocks: Oracle, Apple and Microsoft.

…and investors bet more on dividends: Now, 80 percent of the equities they bought pay a dividend. But most of them are low yielding stocks, around 11 stocks yielding over 3 percent. Investment guru’s still look for growth and don’t seek for high cash compensation.
