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

- PEG ratio is less than 1

Only five stocks fulfilled these tighten criteria of which two are High-Yields. All results are currently recommended by brokerage firms.

The top 5 results are....

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.

List of stocks at All-Time-Highs originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We are still in a bull market and have seen a small correction since 5/21. The trend is still intact which could be also checked by the number of stocks at All-Time-Highs. They came back recently to a big number.

Below is a list of the 100 best performing stocks at All-Time-Highs. The biggest players on the list are 3M, Danaher, Precision Castparts or Illinois Tool Works. Half of the results pay dividends and 81 have a current buy or better rating.

It’s good to see how fast some stocks recover, a very healthy sign from the market. But the risk increases with every percentage point. You need to take care about the valuation of the stocks. Only 18 percent of the top 100 companies at All-Time-Highs are valuated with a P/E below 15.
