Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On October 22, 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, 10 stocks go ex dividend - of which 7 yield more than 3 percent. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date within the current week.

Here is the sheet of the best yielding, higher capitalized ex-dividend stock:

17 High Yields With Additional Potential To Grow Dividends

High yielding stocks with low payout and debt ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Yesterday, I made a screen of Dividend Contenders with low long-term debt to equity ratios as well as slim payouts.

Today I like to widen the latest screen to High-Yields with a market capitalization over USD 300 million. Most of the high yielding stocks are full of debt. The only companies with a smaller amount of loans are such with a lower capitalization. The risks are much higher for those shares. I also needed to lower my screening guidance because of the small amount of results. These are my new criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 300 million

- Dividend Yield over 5 percent

- Long-term debt to equity above 0.6

- Payout ratio under 50 percent

Now, twelve stocks fulfill these criteria. Six of the results have a current buy or better rating.
