Potential Investment Targets Of Warren Buffett - Part III

Warren Buffett sits on big cash that is growing each month. I've started an article serial that discovers potential white elephants which could be potential takeover targets for the big guru investor.

The ideas came from Bloomberg. In my view, they are a little bit abstract and far away from that you might think because they were discovered by strict criteria.

Today you can find additional 5 stocks which could be interesting for the institutional investor from Omaha.

Here you can find the first two articles with the criteria:

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.

81 Stocks With A Higher Dividend Payment

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth comes back. Last week, 81 stocks announced a higher dividend payment in the future. Six of them have now a double-digit dividend yield and 38 are low valuated with a forward P/E of less than 15.

It’s good to see that the number of dividend growers have risen within the recent week. It’s a sign that the economy is doing well and companies are more confident about the future.

In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 20.73 percent. A value between 5 and 30 is good because your passive income grows faster than the inflation. A too high dividend growth ratio shows that there is something wrong. If not, they have paid very low dividends in the past and let the dividend jump. The most important thing you need to remember is that you receive dividends that are not paid from the substance of the corporate. It means that dividends should be significant lower than the earnings or the corporate. Special dividends are all right but they are only one-time items.

20 Cheap Large Cap Dividend Challengers With Double-Digit Earnings Growth

Large capitalized Dividend Challengers with strong growth at a low valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 

If you have read my blog for a longer time, you would have noticed that I often write about dividend growth stocks and dividends in general. One dividend growth category is the Dividend Challengers category. Those stocks have raised their dividend cash payments to shareholders over a period of more than 5 consecutive years but less than 10 years in a row.

Because of the rising market valuation, I wanted to know which of the Dividend Challengers are still fair or even cheap priced compared to its growth forecasts by analysts. 

I selected all stocks from the dividend growth category with a market cap over $10 billion and a low forward P/E below 15. In addition, the expected earnings per share growth should be above 5 percent yearly. Exactly 20 companies fulfilled these criteria.

14 of the results have a current buy or better rating and five stocks yielding over the three percent mark.
