16 Dividend Aristocrats With Cheap Forward P/E’s

Dividend Aristocrats income growth stocks with low forward P/E’s originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth is one of the core items of my blog.

Baxter: A New Medical Stock For The Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio

My recent stock buy from last Friday was the medical instruments and supplies company Baxter International. The stock lost over 7 percent within the recent week due to analyst rating updates. There should be a higher degree of competition.

The expected P/E is now at 12.83 and the stock yields at 2.95 percent – A good value for the industry in my view.

I purchased 20 stocks for my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio with resulted in total investment costs of $1,332. The new stake will contribute around $37 yearly to the full portfolio income.

--------------------------------------

For readers who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.

--------------------------------------

Over the full year, the expected dividend income amounts to $2,483.12. With around $28,600 in deposited cash, it’s still possible to reach the $3,000 by the end of this year.

Baxter is a Dividend Challenger with 7 consecutive dividend hikes. You can see the dividend and earings development of Baxter in the following chart.

The full portfolio holdings are up 7.4 percent in average. Due to the high cash amount and slow buying process in a gaining market, the complete portfolio performance is only 6.43 percent, half of the return from the Dow Jones.
