17 Cheap Large Cap Dividend Contenders Close To New 52-Week Highs

Cheaply valuated dividend growth stocks close to new 52-Week-Highs originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I published recently a small article about Large Cap stocks close to new one-year highs with a single P/E.

The idea behind is that there could be more room for a higher stock price due to the low valuation and the break-out signal. I know that this kind of method is more technically but it should give you some new ideas from a different perspective of the capital market.

Today I would like to screen my dividend income growth stock database by shares with 10 to 25 years of consecutive dividend growth that are 5 percent or less away from new one-year highs. In addition, the earnings income multiple for the next year should be under 15 and the market capitalization over USD 10 billion.

Only 17 stocks fulfilled these criteria of which ten are currently recommended to buy.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of September 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Cheap stocks, bargains or undervalued companies can promise you good returns if you believe that they receive a better valuation within the next months or years. It’s very difficult to discover those stocks because of the hundreds of thousands technical and fundamental measures.

I often used my static ratios like earnings multiples or book ratios to identify cheaply valuated stocks. Today I like to change my recent criteria about cheapest dividend paying large caps a little bit. I tighten the restriction Price-To-Sales to a value of less than one and look at forward P/E’s. In the past, I’ve looked at current earnings multiples.

These are the criteria for my cheapest dividend paying large cap screen:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next five years

- Forward P/E ratio under 15

- P/S under 1 and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

The number of my results rose. Eighteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which one pays a high yield of more than five percent. Nearly all, fourteen in total, got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

International Dividend Achievers stock list with high predicted earnings per share growth for the mid-term originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com.

17 Cheap Dividend Achievers With Very Low P/S Ratios

Cheaply priced stocks traded below its own book values originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love it to look for high quality dividend stocks with a proven long-term track record but one thing I often noticed in my research is that the market gets more and more expensive. But if you would like to make a solid return, you definitely need cheap stocks.

With low yields, the valuation rises in an inflationary environment. That's the key premise in our economy. 

Today I would like to try my best to discover some of the best dividend growth stocks with a current cheap valuation. I use two criteria for screening the Dividend Achievers database: A forward P/E below 15 as well as a price to sales ratio below one.

Exactly 17 dividend growth stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria. Eight of them got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. The yields are between 0.95 and 2.91 percent. That’s not much in my view but growth forecasts are positive for all of the results.

11 Cheap High Beta Consumer Goods Dividend Stocks

Cheap high beta dividend stocks from the consumer goods sector originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You might know that I really love stocks from the consumer goods sector. They offer a very good risk profile for income seeking investors with a desire for future dividend growth. The problem is that they are also highly valuated. This was one of the reasons why I needed to purchase more and more stocks from other sectors like industrials and healthcare stocks.

I’m not worried about this because with every single stock purchase of other industries and sectors, my diversification rises. The second negative item in terms of consumer good stocks is that most of them are low beta stocks. If you like to make money in a strong upside market, you lose performance with low beta stocks.

This is the reason why I discovered some high beta stocks with attractive valuation figures this month in an article serial. If you are interested, here are the links to the articles:

· 15 Cheap High Beta Industrial Dividend Stocks

· 13 Cheap High Beta Basic Material Dividend Stocks

· 18 High Beta Services Dividend Paying Stocks

· 9 High Beta Utilities | Good Yields At High Potential

· 19 High Beta Technology Dividend Stocks At Reasonable Prices Compared To Growth

· 17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

· Cheap Financial Dividend Stocks With +15% Expected 5Y Earnings Growth

Back the current screen about high beta consumer dividend stocks. I observed this time large capitalized consumer dividend stocks with a low forward P/E and a beta ratio above one.

My screen produced only eleven results with yields between 0.71 percent and 2.58 percent. Nearly all of them (10 stocks) have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

Stocks with highest dividend growth originally researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. When a company raises dividends, it’s always a good sign. A firm with a growing dividend let your passive income grow and could put you on the next level of your financial freedom.

But more important than a dividend hike is the intensiveness of the dividend growth. A one percent hike each year is good but it won’t help you over the time. What you need is a stronger growth, something in the range around the 10 percent level.

All stocks still have a double digit-growth rate. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 49.42 percent. The average yield is at 3.47 percent.
