These 42 Stocks Planning To Pay More Dividends

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Last week, around 42 companies announced a high dividend. I published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 15.51 percent.

It’s always good to see how the dividend growth strategy works. Some of the dividend growers have raised their payments forty times and more. The biggest names come from the oil and gas sector. Eni and Total are the two biggest stocks followed by the British spirit maker Diageo.

Five of the results have a double-digit dividend yield and seven yielding above five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend more than half, 26 in total, of the dividend growth stocks.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of July 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend stocks with lovely looking fundamentals and cheap price ratios can promise you a good return but they are also very rare. The higher the efforts of your screen are, the lower the number of results you get. Today I would like to update my monthly screen about the cheapest dividend paying stocks on the capital market. I use six very strong criteria and only around a dozen companies remain each month.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Thirteen companies fulfilled this time the criteria and nine of them have a current buy or better rating. One stock has a high yield on a twelve trailing month basis (5 percent dividend yield). To buy cheap stocks is no guarantee for a return but you get value for what you pay and the possibility to overpay a stock is also low is the business model is somehow stable.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of June 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. It's always good to own cheap stocks in order to gain a return. 

For sure, cheapness is a question of definition and in the end its growth that makes a stock cheap or expensive. 

I make each month a screen about the cheapest large capitalized dividend stocks. Below are screening criteria; they are very sternly in my view. I use this screen to find some attractive bargains. In a hot market it's ever hard to find low valuated stocks with great earnings growth perspectives. Especially within the recent months, the number of results decreased rapidly. Let’s look if the recent crisis 5/21 had some positive effects for the screen.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Thirteen companiesfulfilled these criteria. It’s exactly one stock less than last month. Two High-Yields are below the results and eight stocks have a current buy or better rating.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of May 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The markets getting more expensive and my research for real bargains or cheap valuated stocks rise. Today I like to use my monthly screen of the cheapest large capitalized stocks.

Buy low and sell high is the basic philosophy behind. But its very difficult to know when stocks are cheap. In markets that are going up for years, the only reason to find cheap stocks is to look at the future growth. A growing company let the P/E ratio shrink. A current P/E of 20 can come down to 13 with growing earnings per share. Growth is only one criterion of hundreds.

My criteria for the cheap Large Cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Fourteen companiesfulfilled these criteria of which nine are currently recommended to buy. The screen is dominated by foreign stock; eight come from abroad. Another characteristic is that basic material stocks are mostly represented. The fear of falling commodity prices due to Chinas slowing growth is the reason behind.
