10 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks Below $20 Price

Contrary to popular belief, not all dividend stocks are priced at double- and triple-digit levels. 

Some of them are downright cheap stocks, with prices below $20 per share, allowing income-seeking investors to own a round lot of them for not a lot of money.

Better still, while theoretically it shouldn’t matter, in reality, cheap stocks don’t face the eventual psychological hurdle of being valued at eye-popping prices that even cause veteran investors to balk.

The approach is simple and easy. On seeking alpha, there are many writers creating great screens with attractive stocks. 

Attached you will find a list of dogs from the S&P500. A dog by definition from the article is a stock from the S&P 500 with a dividend yield higher than their peers and lower than their historical average.

High yields also under pressure of dividend cuts. In order to eliminate those risks, the author created the safety margin rule. This ratio shows how much of the dividend yield is covered by the free cash flow yield. A ratio below 100% tells us that the dividend is paid with free cash, generated by operating activities.

53 Stocks With Over 1000% Return In 7 Years

We are talking a lot about capital return secured by dividends. Growth is an essential element to create wealth. 

Dividends give you a regual income and hedge you against capital losses. They are no wealth driver in general.

Today I would like to present a couple of stocks that tenfold over the past six years. Each of the companies generated a stock return over 1000% since 2009.

There are not many companies on the list, only 53. Most of them are high growth names like Starbucks, Netflix, Priceline or Expedia. 

The financial crisis also gave investors the great opportunity to buy high-quality businesses for a really cheap price. Especially high leveraged stocks with big debt burden or companies with cyclic products were traded at deep discounts.

With that in mind, there are a few stocks on this list worth buying. Here are my three favorites in no particular order.
