12 Cheap Dividend Aristocrats With Buy Or Better Rating

Dividend Aristocrats with low P/E’s and buying recommendations originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. We all love a growing dividend and one of the most popular indices that cover the best dividend growth stocks is the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index.

The index has currently 54 constituents. My goal in this article is to show you the currently cheapest stocks from the Dividend Aristocrats Index with current buy or better ratings.

I know, it’s a little bit easy to trust others work but the high-quality dividend stocks are already discovered. The only thing we must do is to screen the current valuations and market opinions.

Only twelve stocks fulfilled both, a forward P/E below 15 combined with a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. Half of the results have a projected double-digit mid-term earnings growth forecast.

I really like Dividend Aristocrats but because of the highly predictable business model and well known asset class, most of them are no longer cheap. Only eighteen stocks have an expected P/E under 15! That’s only one third of the full database and only around 20 percent of all Aristocrats are recommended to buy. 

Next Week's 20 Top Yielding Ex-Dividend Shares

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 day.

In total, 201 stocks go ex dividend - of which 79 yield more than 3 percent. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date within the next current week.

15 Growing Dividend Stocks That Buffett/Munger Would Choose

Dividend stocks from the Buffett/Munger screener originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are the two investment heads of Berkshire Hathaway. If they decide to put money into a business, they usually have a good nose for their investment which will be paid-off.

With a long-term annual return wide above 20 percent, they definitely have done the most things right. 

Today I would like to present you the best dividend stocks from the gurufocus Buffett/Munger screener. The tool searches the market by good companies at fair or even undervalued prices. The screener take only stocks with a high predicable business into account. 

These are some of the criteria:

- Rising Margin

- Growing Business

- Little Debt

- Fair or Undervalued

The Buffett/Munger screener gives you over 200 results but I like to focus on the U.S. stock market. 

From 77 American stocks are only 15 shares that pay dividends. Buffett and Munger will definitely love some of these results. 

The good thing is that the screener don’t show results of stocks in which they are already invested. For a closer overview about the latest stock purchases from Warren Buffett and his latest portfolio, please look here: Warren Buffet’s Latest Stock Picks And His Biggest Portfolio Holdings.

On High-Yield is below the results and nine got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.
