Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On October 09, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

In total, 33 stocks go ex dividend - of which 10 yield more than 3 percent. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date within the current week.

12 Stocks With Dividend Yields Over 10% And Low Forward P/E’s

Cheaply valuated shares with very high dividend yields originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to show you some of the highest yielding stocks on the market with low earnings multiples. I choose stocks with a dividend yield of more than 10% with a forward P/E of less than 15. In order to eliminate the lower capitalized companies who have definitely a higher risk, I need to look at companies with a market cap over $2 billion.

Only twelve shares on the market met these restrictions. I believe that a high dividend yield will help investors to get a quick cash return and should boost the passive income but it’s also very dangerous to buy those stocks. Most of the high yielders come from the Financial or REIT sector. Most of them are highly loaded with debt and they are no long-term dividend growers like Procter and Coca Cola.

Six of the twelve results have a current buy or better rating. The yields are between 11.38 percent and 20.32 percent.

16 High Yielding Dividend Stocks With Singe P/E Ratios

High yielding Mid- and Large capitalized dividend stocks with cheap price ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I often write about stocks with cheap fundamentals, mostly about those with a low forward P/E. I believe that this is a great first step to find good bargains at the stock market.

But you need also a good initial dividend yield if you like to build a passive dividend income to live off.

Today I would like to create a screen which combines both, yield and cheapness at a very high level.

I’m looking for High-Yield dividend stocks with single-digit P/E ratios. In order to limit my screening results, I observed only higher capitalized companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion.

Sixteen stocks fulfilled my criteria. Seven of them have a current buy or better rating and fifteen yielding over 10 percent! 

REITs, asset managers and communication stocks are dominating the screen. That’s where you can find the highest dividend yields but the risk is also much higher.

9 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Buy Or Better Rating

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better recommendations originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Some of my readers like you have a huge desire for income stocks. Not enough, they should have a good payout in terms of initial yields and offer you a great opportunity with price hikes.

It’s hard to find the perfect dividend stock that delivers you a great return at a low risk and the higher the initial yield, the bigger the risk seems.

Today I would like to introduce you some of the highest yielding stocks at the stock market with current buy or better ratings by brokerage firms.

At the market are around a hundred stocks with double-digit dividend yields but most of them, 78 percent, are small capitalized. I don’t like stocks with a small market cap because of the low diversification and high sensitivity when trading volume comes into the stock. In my current screen, I observe only stocks with a USD 2 billion or more capitalization. Below is a list of the 9 highest yielding stocks with a buy or better rating.

9 Stocks With Double-Digit Yields And Buy Or Better Recommendations

Stocks with very high dividend yields and buy or better ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Boost your dividend income wisely. The easiest way is to look for stocks with extraordinary high yields but there is still a huge risk to receive the dividend one time and no more further.

There is no solution for this problem because no return exists without a risk. Today I’ve screened stocks with very high dividend yields (over 10 percent). Around 100 companies have a current yield over 10 percent but most of them are low capitalized or they will pay no high dividends in the future. In order to eliminate the real big risks from the screening results, I observed only those companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. In addition, the stock should have a buy or better rating. Only nine stocks fulfilled these criteria with a dividend yield between 10 percent and 20 percent.
