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.

The ratio evaluates the performance of the stock in relation to its volatility. It's also a figure that is based on the past performance data. Future developments are not detected.

Below are 6 stocks from the S&P 500 with very attractive Sharpe ratios. My main criteria are a dividend yield of more than 1 percent at a payout ratio of less than 100 percent of earnings.

13 Safe Haven Large Caps With Over 3% Dividend Yields

Low volatility dividend stocks with cheap price ratios and top yields originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. On my blog I’ve listed over 100 stocks with safe haven characteristics. For sure no stock is safe and no dividend is guaranteed but there are some shares with a higher risk and bigger volatility which I don’t like. I’m looking for low yielding stocks with solid debt ratios and modest growth perspectives with a proven business model and a long-term dividend growth history.

Today, I produced a screen with the following core criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Debt-to-Equity Ratio below 0.5

- Beta Ratio Below one

In order to get the top yielding results with cheap expected P/E’s, I selected only those stocks with a forward P/E of less than 15 as well as a dividend yield of more than 3 percent. Only thirteen stocks fulfilled my safe haven characteristics of which two are High-Yields and seven are recommended to buy. Many telecoms are part of the results.

The sector is definitely low priced and there is a huge rumor about takeovers. I also have shares of AT&Tand Rogersin my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio.

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.

13 Cheap High Beta Basic Material Dividend Stocks

Cheap high beta dividend stocks from the basic material sector originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The basic material sector is under fire. Nobody wants to go long on raw material producer or related industries. The fear of a slowing growth in China with the result of cheaper commodity prices is still aware.

The whole sector is down 3.1 percent over the recent six months while the best sector gained 17.9 percent during the same period. So many stocks can be bought for a single P/E within the sector but the risk is still high.

Today I would like to proceed my monthly screening serial about high beta dividend stocks. The basic material sector has a huge base of stock ideas on this field. In order to get the best results, I need to increase my limitations like this:

- Market capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Forward P/E below 15

- 5Y future earnings per share growth over 15 percent yearly

- Beta ratio over 1

Thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which one is a High-Yield. All results have a current buy or better rating.

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.

18 High Beta Services Dividend Paying Stocks With High Growth And Low Valuation

Services dividend stocks with high betas and big growth at low valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to go forward with my monthly screen serial about high beta dividend stocks. Beta is a financial stock market ratio that shows how much the performance of a stock differs from the performance of the overall market. Beta ratios over one mean that the stock is stronger correlated to the market. Shares of the company move stronger up and down.

In bullish markets, you can make a better performance if you have high beta stocks in your portfolio. Today I would like to show you which of the services dividend stocks have the highest betas. Because of the huge amount of results, I needed to implement additional criteria. All stocks should have a low valuation measured by a forward P/E under 15 at earnings per share growth rates for the next five years of more than 10 percent yearly. Not enough, all stocks must have a market valuation over USD 10 billion.

Eighteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Sixteen have a current buy or better rating. The disadvantage is that the best results are low yielders. The highest dividend yield amounts to 2.81 percent. Low yields don’t mean low returns: The stocks generated a return between 8.94 percent and 76.75 percent since the beginning of the trading year.

9 High Beta Utilities | Good Yields At High Potential

Utility dividend stocks with highest beta ratios published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Utilities are necessary within the economy but they have huge problems to increase prices for utility products. Utility stocks normally have a lower volatility because of its stable revenue streams and income focused stakeholder structure. They are less risky than a high growth momentum stock with a highly priced business model that works only in the best dreams.

In today’s screen about the utilities with the highest beta ratio are only 9 stocks with a higher correlation to the broad market. This shows the real investment profile of utilities. Low growth, low risk and high debt as you might know it from real estate trusts.

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

Cheap technology dividend stocks with highest beta ratios and good growth originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. High beta stocks are risky but they offer also big opportunities for risk seeking investors. The technology sector is one of the investment fields with a huge base of risk-adjusted business models.  Not every investment is a “win or fail” strategy.

Today I would like to continue my monthly screen serial about high beta stocks from several sectors. Technology dividend stocks are in my focus now. Because of the huge amount of high beta dividend paying technology stocks, I implemented three additional criteria in my screen: A very high market capitalization, an expected five year earnings per share growth as well as a low forward price-to-earnings ratio.

Growth should be over 10 percent for the next half decade and the P/E should below 15. In my view, this ratio represents a very good price for the future growth opportunity but the business model could be much riskier because of the high beta ratio. The betas of the 19 results are between 1.3 and 4. Some stocks like Telecom Italia, Orange or Broadcom have a really bad mid-term performance. Others like TE Connectivity from Swiss or Eaton increased during the same period by over 55 percent or more.

17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with highest beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I am a conservative investor and try to minimize my risk.

This strategy is necessary if you have a larger amount of money to take care of or you begin to cry when you lose 10 percent on your book value. The second disadvantage is that you lose performance in a strong up moving market. 

Since 2009, there were nearly no bigger corrections at the market but with low beta and safe haven stocks, your performance would be only half of the return from the markets. What you need to get a push for your portfolio is a high beta stock. I don’t recommend buying them because it’s a definitely riskier strategy and nobody knows when the market turns into a bearish mood.

However, let’s take a look at the high fly momentum stocks from the healthcare sector. Those are stocks with the highest beta ratio from the sector. They have a beta between 1 and 2. With focus on the dividend paying stocks, only 17 stocks from the healthcare sector pay a dividend and being correlated with the market by a factor of up to 2.

One High-Yield is below the results and 16 have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

15 High Beta Dividend Stocks With Very Low Market Valuation

A high beta dividend share with very low forward P/E’s originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I often hear from others that they want to make quick and fast money. I can understand this wish from some investors. If you don’t have enough money for your investing goals, you need to speculate in order to get a higher amount of money in a very short time.

This is a very dangerous process. I’m a believer in slow growing dividend growth and I think that if you safe each month a bit, in the end you will definitely have a high amount of money. The stock market could help you to boost your money with a 5 to 10 percent return.

Speculation is not investing. It’s money gambling like casino or poker. Today I would like to introduce you some of the stocks with the highest sentiment on the market. I used the S&P 500 High Beta Index for the stock ideas. The index covers 100 stocks from the broad S&P 500 with the highest sensitivity to market movements over the past 12 months. The beta ratio is the main valuation driver.

Exactly 71 companies from the S&P 500 High Beta Index pay actual a dividend. I wanted to know which of them are really cheap for the time being. Because there are 52 stocks with a low forward P/E, I selected only those high beta stocks with a very low forward price ratio. 15 shares are valuated with a forward P/E of less than 10 and 13 of them are currently recommended to buy. You can find a list of the results below.

20 Of The Safest Dividend Challengers On The Market

Dividend Challengers with lowest beta ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love high-quality dividend growth stocks and the stocks with the longest history of consecutive payments are definitely Dividend Kings and Dividend Champions. But the big disadvantage of them is that they are also highly priced.

You cannot make a greater return with stocks that have a P/E ratio of 22 and grows only at 5 percent. You need real bargains to make big profit with your asset.

This problem can be solved when you look into the dividend potentials. Those stocks haven’t yet reached a longer dividend payment history but they can become a great Dividend Champion within the next years. The price ratios are also lower for some companies and you have a better choice to find good investments because out there are around 160 stocks with five or more years of consecutive dividend payments and 207 with a payment between 10 to 25 years.

Today I like to screen the third class of dividend growth stocks by the safest alternatives. The 20 safest dividend growth stocks have a beta ratio between 0.18 and 0.55. All three top picks come from the oil & gas pipeline industry, a branch with very stable sales and future growth perspectives due to the shale gas boom in the United States.

From the 20 safest Dividend Challengers have nine a current buy or better rating.
