17 High Yielding Dividend Achievers | Cheap Income Growth Stocks

Dividend income growth stocks with high yields and low price-to-earnings ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. High yielding stocks in a low interest environment is the only solution to hedge your assets against inflation.

But high yielding stocks are rare when the Fed keeps its leading interest rates close to zero percent and pull the market loan rates via bond purchases to the ground. But the inflation risk is still aware and you will get poorer over the time.

I stopped purchasing stocks for my own accounts since the beginning of the year. It was a wrong decision because equities are now more expensive. I don’t believe that they are still cheap, more likely fair valuated or slightly overpriced. 

It’s very hard to discover good stocks with solid dividend growth and high yields. I talk about yields over 3 percent and not the big risk including stocks with yields far above 5 percent.

Today I would like to screen the High-Dividend Achievers Index by stocks with inflation adequate yields and low price-to-earnings ratios. I prefer a ratio of the forward P/E below 15. Only 17 of 50 index members fulfilled these criteria. You can find a detailed list of these stocks attached.

Two High-Yields are part of the results and five received a current buy or better rating. Banks and utilities are the dominating industries on the list.

15 Dividend Contenders With Over 20% Return on Equity and Return on Investment

Dividend growth stocks with very high returns on equity and returns on investment originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. A solid investment delivers also solid returns over the time. Dividend growth is not the only criteria for a good investment. There are also many dividend growth stocks outside with low or negative return on investments and return on equity ratios.

Today I screened the Dividend Contenders Database by stocks with high return ratios. I fixed the 20 percent level in order to get the best results.

Only 15 companies fulfilled both, a return on equity as well as a return on investment over 20 percent. The difference between those two ratios is that the return on investment does not include the leverage effect. A corporate with high debts will automatically generate high returns on equity. The second ratio is a performance measure that looks only at the investment by dividing the investment return by the costs of the investment.

One High-Yield is below the results and 10 stocks got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. Leverage is the key for high returns in my screen. As you might see in the attached sheet, the debt ratios are modestly high but in the end, the investor will pay a higher price for a leveraged company.

19 International Dividend Achievers With Double-Digit Earnings Growth Forecasts

International Dividend Achievers stock list with high predicted earnings per share growth for the mid-term originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth investors like you or me should always have a focus on stocks from abroad. It diversifies your portfolio and gives you more opportunities from different countries.

But you always have a currency risk if you stock is traded in a foreign currency. But you also own these risks with U.S. stocks that have a huge share of foreign sales. The corporate manages these risks for you.
Today I would like to discover my International Dividend Achievers list by stocks with the highest earnings per share growth forecast for the mid-term (5 Years). You can find a list attached about those stocks with double-digit earnings predictions by brokerage firms.

Only 19 of 55 dividend growth stocks from abroad with a dividend growth history of more than 5 consecutive years fulfilled my restrictions. Six of them still have a low forward P/E of less than 15 and eleven got a current buy or better rating. The yields are low in this environment thanks to Ben Bernanke who said that the tapering must wait until the economy improves stronger. The highest yielding stock from the list has a 3.45 percent yield.
