Baxter: A New Medical Stock For The Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio

My recent stock buy from last Friday was the medical instruments and supplies company Baxter International. The stock lost over 7 percent within the recent week due to analyst rating updates. There should be a higher degree of competition.

The expected P/E is now at 12.83 and the stock yields at 2.95 percent – A good value for the industry in my view.

I purchased 20 stocks for my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio with resulted in total investment costs of $1,332. The new stake will contribute around $37 yearly to the full portfolio income.

--------------------------------------

For readers who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.

--------------------------------------

Over the full year, the expected dividend income amounts to $2,483.12. With around $28,600 in deposited cash, it’s still possible to reach the $3,000 by the end of this year.

Baxter is a Dividend Challenger with 7 consecutive dividend hikes. You can see the dividend and earings development of Baxter in the following chart.

The full portfolio holdings are up 7.4 percent in average. Due to the high cash amount and slow buying process in a gaining market, the complete portfolio performance is only 6.43 percent, half of the return from the Dow Jones.

14 Top Dividend Growers From Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Only 14 stocks raised their dividend payments within the recent week. Despite the low number of growth stocks, the quality is still available.

Big names are again on the list. The biggest player is Lockheed Martin. The military group announced to boost dividends by 15.7 percent. I love this stock that is so deeply integrated into the U.S. economy.

Five High-Yields are part of the latest dividend growth stocks but only three companies are currently valuated with a forward P/E of less than 15. Also three of fourteen shares are currently recommended to buy.

Basic material stocks as well as financial stocks are dominating the results – A fact that we’ve also seen over the recent weeks. For the financial sector it’s reasonable because of the abnormal dividend cuts in 2008 but basic or raw material stocks? It’s really hard to explain why these stocks hike dividends when the whole sector is under pressure due to falling prices in anticipation of a slowing Chinese economy.

We will see how it develops over the time. I’ve attached, like every week, the full list of the latest dividend growth stocks. You can also find attached the current price ratios in order to find and compare the cheapest stocks from the list.

47 Top High-Yielding Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In October 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Close to the end of the month, I would like to highlight some of the best yielding ex-dividend shares for October.

If you are a daily reader of my blog, you would have noticed that I publish regularly lists about ex-dividend stocks. It’s a great information tool for investors who love it to receive dividends. If you purchase a stocks quick before the ex-dividend date, you get a faster cash return but you will not make extra gains with these money because on the ex-date, the stock would also be traded ex-dividend but with yields of about 0.5 percent quarter dividend or so, you will definitely see no big changes because the daily fluctuations are much higher.

However, every month, I create a small list about interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date for the next month. I think it could bring you some values to see what companies pay you cash next month with an attractive equity story.

As result, I found 47 stocks with an average dividend yield of 5.76 percent. Eight stocks have a double-digit yield and additional eight stocks have a high yield below 10 percent but over 5 percent. 21 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.
