17 High Yielding Dividend Achievers | Cheap Income Growth Stocks

Dividend income growth stocks with high yields and low price-to-earnings ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. High yielding stocks in a low interest environment is the only solution to hedge your assets against inflation.

But high yielding stocks are rare when the Fed keeps its leading interest rates close to zero percent and pull the market loan rates via bond purchases to the ground. But the inflation risk is still aware and you will get poorer over the time.

I stopped purchasing stocks for my own accounts since the beginning of the year. It was a wrong decision because equities are now more expensive. I don’t believe that they are still cheap, more likely fair valuated or slightly overpriced. 

It’s very hard to discover good stocks with solid dividend growth and high yields. I talk about yields over 3 percent and not the big risk including stocks with yields far above 5 percent.

Today I would like to screen the High-Dividend Achievers Index by stocks with inflation adequate yields and low price-to-earnings ratios. I prefer a ratio of the forward P/E below 15. Only 17 of 50 index members fulfilled these criteria. You can find a detailed list of these stocks attached.

Two High-Yields are part of the results and five received a current buy or better rating. Banks and utilities are the dominating industries on the list.

11 Cheapest Stocks From The High-Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Index

Stocks from the High-Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Index with low forward P/E’s originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. As you might have known, the research of high quality equities is very expensive and hard work. There is a good way to find high-quality dividend stocks with less work and cost. You discover only indices which cover the best dividend stocks.

Bang, that’s a very good solution for lazy investors like me. The Dividend Aristocrats Index is a well known index, created by the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s. For advanced investors, Dividend Aristocrats are very boring and it’s real annoying to read every time the same stuff from the same companies.

Today I would like to introduce you some of the cheapest dividend paying stocks from the High-Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Index. 50 members are part of the index which is based on the NASDAQ Dividend Achievers 50 Index. The Index is comprised of 50 stocks selected principally on the basis of dividend yield and consistent growth in dividends. If you are interested in a detailed list of all constituents with some major price ratios, you can purchase a current updated factsheet of the 50 index members here.

Back to my screen: Only eleven companies from the index have a forward P/E below 15 and three of them are currently recommended to buy.

15 Stocks From The S&P 500 With Single P/E Ratios

Stocks from the S&P 500 with P/E’s below 10 originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. It’s too easy to say that stocks with a low price-to-earnings ratio are cheap but the figure tells you a lot about the valuation of a company on the first view. 

Stocks with a low valuation are also rare. For instance, the popular S&P 500 index has only 28 members with a P/E below 10. Around 80 percent of them, in total 23, pay dividends. Current P/E’s are great but it’s always good to look at the forward P/E because it uses the future earnings of the company.

Only 16 companies from the S&P 500 have both, a current P/E and forward P/E of less than 10. If you buy those stocks you purchase them for a net income yield of 10 percent. That’s a good value in my view if the business works robust and grows with a pace of 5 to 10 percent yearly. You can find a full list of the 15 dividend paying stocks with a single P/E below. Insurer and oil & gas refining & marketing companies are mostly represented on the screen.

High Yields From The S&P 500 And Which Are Highly Recommended

High Yields from the S&P 500 and the best buy ratings originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". It’s good to have stocks with dividends. Dividends give you a passive income and improve your quality of life. Some of you don’t have enough money to live off dividends and they try to close the gap by choosing only High-Yields.

The higher the yield of a stock, the less capital you need for an acceptable return. But High-Yields often have the problem that they are not sustainable, especially when the market capitalization is low and the debt high.

We’ve seen this problem with Pitney Bowes, a very popular Dividend Aristocrat who yielded for months over 10 percent until they decided to reduce the dividend distributions by a half. For sure, they still pay a good dividend but your passive income is now significant lower.

Today I like to show you the highest yielding stocks from the S&P 500 with their current ratings. Only 13 companies survived the strong market gain since the beginning of the year. Last year, the number of High-Yields within the popular index was over 20!

Below the top results are many telecom service companies as well as electric utilities. Five of the results have a current buy or better rating.

Consumer goods dividend stocks with highest float short ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Consumer goods stocks are often the most preferred source for dividend growth investors. I don’t know why but the consumer sector has the largest amount of stocks with a solid dividend history. They are less volatile and work with good margins. For sure, the growth perspectives are not a good as for technology stocks and the debt is also everything else than slim but they are still attractive.

Despite the huge number of pessimistic investors, analysts recommended 13 of the results.

20 Cheapest Consumer Dividend Stocks

Consumer dividend stocks with cheap price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

I love consumer dividend stocks. Nearly 60 percent of my own stock allocation have a relationship to the sector. For sure they also had a very low performance compared to other stocks but they give me stability and trust to invest bigger amounts of money into the stock markt.

A few years before, I purchased consumer stocks for an average yield of 3.5 percent. Today the sector has a yield of 2.78 percent despite the fact that most of the consumer stocks raised year over year their dividends. Consumer stocks getting more and more expensive and the only core reason for this development is the expansive monetary policy.

Today I like to go forward with my monthly screens of the cheapest dividend stocks measured by the lowest forward P/E. The 20 cheapest stocks with a higher market capitalization are valuated between 7.8 and 12.5. Only one High-Yield is part of the results. Nearly all companies, 17 in total, are currently recommended to buy.
