6 Best Risk Rewarded Dividend Stocks From The S&P 500

Investors should take care about the risk when they plan to invest. A good and well-known indicator for the risk assessment is the Shape ratio.

15 Cheap High Beta Industrial Dividend Stocks

Industrial dividend stocks with high beta ratios at a cheap valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love it to look for cheap stocks but bargains at the market are really hard to find especially because of the hundreds of thousands metrics you can use to identify an undervalued stock.

A major criterion which is often used by many investors is the price to earnings ratio. It tells you how many years do you need to get your investment back in corporate earnings. The lower the ratio, the cheaper your investment is. A P/E of 10 also means that the earnings yield is at 10 percent.
This month, I’ve created an article serial about high beta stocks. Those stocks are stronger correlated than the overall market and tend to outperform the broad S&P 500 in bullish times. They also tend to lose performance when the markets are going down.

Today I would like to screen high beta dividend stocks from the industrial sector with a cheap forward P/E ratio. Only fifteen stocks from the sector fulfilled these criteria and eleven of them are currently recommended to buy.

Industrial Dividend Stocks With Highest Performance And Still Cheap Price Ratios

Industrial dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Warren Buffett likes industrials, not as much as consumer or healthcare stocks, but he owns a few players from the sector. I personally own some good names from the Dividend Champions list and be happy that I have purchased them a few years before.

Today I would like to screen the investment sector by the best performing dividend stocks since the beginning of the year. Below is a detailed view on cheapest results.

The 20 industrial dividend stocks with highest year-to-date performance generated a return between 37.67 percent and 129.11. Small and mid-cap stocks are the performance driver of the year. 13 of the results have a market capitalization below USD 2 billion.

The whole sector is up 13.8 percent over the recent six month, the third best value on the capital market. I believe that stocks with a good stock performance are healthy. Capital investors are confident about the future prospects of the company and they like to pay a higher price to participate on the future of the business.

Not all of the best performing stocks are now expensive. 13 of the results have a low forward P/E and 10 are currently recommended to buy.
