5 Attractively Valued Stocks With At Least One Dividend Hike

Cheap stocks are the basis for a good return. But the definition of cheapness is large. One ratio that measures the cheapness of a stock in relation to its growth is the Price-Earnings-To-Growth ratio (PEG ratio).

A PEG-value over one indicates that the stock could be overpaid. Today I would like to generate some fresh stock ideas by screening the market by attractively valuated dividend stocks that have raised dividends for at least one time.

These are my criteria in detail:

- Market cap is greater than USD 100 million

- Dividend yield is above 3%

- At least one dividend hike

- Total debt to equity is under 1

- 12Trailing P/E is less than 15

- Forward P/E is less than 15

The top 5 results are....

5 Higher Yielding Financial Stocks With Low Debt Figures

Dividends are a powerful income source if you use it wisely. I personally prefer stocks with solid growth potential but don't like to overpay a stock.

But as investor with a small pocket and a high desire of big yielding stocks, I also need to look at companies with yields far above the 5 percent mark. 

Today I've discovered some stock ideas from the financial sector. I know, it’s not the best place to hunt for opportunities because the assets are often strange in terms of asset volatility. In addition, the financial sector often life from interest arbitrage, a risky and low margin business (in a market with full information). However, you can find a compilation about financial stocks with high yields and "normal" debt ratios beow.

These are my criteria:

Market cap is greater than Over 100 million.

Dividend yield is greater than 8.5%.

The payout ratio is less than 100%.

Total debt to equity is less than 1.00.

Five higher yielding stocks from the financial sector fulfilled these criteria. The most of the results are low capitalized.

41 Top Yielding Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In May 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Yields come down; the decay is full in process because of the growing stock prices. Dividend investors like me are seeking for higher yields at the market but the results getting rare.

My solution is to scout for lower yielding stocks with hope that the next dividend hike could lift the current yield above the 3 percent level. But it’s more work to predict dividends and your risk increases when you have missed some details.

I always have a big picture of stocks that go ex-dividend in the near future in order to get quick cash back from my investments. Sure it’s not a trading strategy because after the ex-dividend date, the stock is also traded lower in the amount of the dividend but it is a great information tool.

However, I screen every month some interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date within the next month. As result, I found 41 stocks with an average dividend yield of 4.98 percent. Three stocks have a double-digit yield and ten a high yield. 18 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.
