Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of August 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend stocks with great looking fundamentals and cheap price ratios can promise you a good return but they are also very rare and hard to find in my view. The higher your efforts of your screen are, the lower the number of results you get.

Today I would like to update my monthly screen about the cheapest dividend paying stocks on the capital market. I use six very strong criteria and only around a dozen companies remain each month.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Twelve companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria and ten of them have a current buy or better rating. One stock has a high yield (5 percent dividend yield or more). To buy cheap stocks is no guarantee for a return but you get value for what you pay and the possibility to overpay a stock is also low if the business model is stable.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of June 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. It's always good to own cheap stocks in order to gain a return. 

For sure, cheapness is a question of definition and in the end its growth that makes a stock cheap or expensive. 

I make each month a screen about the cheapest large capitalized dividend stocks. Below are screening criteria; they are very sternly in my view. I use this screen to find some attractive bargains. In a hot market it's ever hard to find low valuated stocks with great earnings growth perspectives. Especially within the recent months, the number of results decreased rapidly. Let’s look if the recent crisis 5/21 had some positive effects for the screen.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Thirteen companiesfulfilled these criteria. It’s exactly one stock less than last month. Two High-Yields are below the results and eight stocks have a current buy or better rating.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of May 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The markets getting more expensive and my research for real bargains or cheap valuated stocks rise. Today I like to use my monthly screen of the cheapest large capitalized stocks.

Buy low and sell high is the basic philosophy behind. But its very difficult to know when stocks are cheap. In markets that are going up for years, the only reason to find cheap stocks is to look at the future growth. A growing company let the P/E ratio shrink. A current P/E of 20 can come down to 13 with growing earnings per share. Growth is only one criterion of hundreds.

My criteria for the cheap Large Cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Fourteen companiesfulfilled these criteria of which nine are currently recommended to buy. The screen is dominated by foreign stock; eight come from abroad. Another characteristic is that basic material stocks are mostly represented. The fear of falling commodity prices due to Chinas slowing growth is the reason behind.

The Cheapest Basic Material Dividend Stocks | 20 Low Priced Raw Material Shares

Basic material dividend stocks with low forward P/E’s originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Yesterday I read an interesting article about the valuation of the market. We got a gaining momentum. This year alone, the market rose around 15 percent and nobody scares this. The analysts from Bloomberg attempted to compare the situation with the second half of the 90ies where stocks started to boost until they burst. Historically we named this burst the technology bubble 2000.

The analyst wrote that the current valuation is still 28 below the mid 90ies. The market is not cheap but not expensive. Other investors talk about a reasonable pricing. They trust the market environment and the FED stimulus and they pay finally the high price.

I’m a long-term growth investor and I’ve also realized that most of the high-quality stocks are too expensive to get a good return. With P/E’s of 20 you will definitely make no greater return. Sure, it could be possible that your investment got a 30 P/E in five years or so but that’s not investing, it’s speculation.

As you might have seen, I started more screens with cheap price ratios as variables. I still try to seek the cheapest opportunities from the market, but there are only a dozen from each sector. Today I like to discover some ideas from the basic material sector. I’m focused on large caps in my screen.

Basic material stocks are still very cheap. The 20 stocks with lowest valuation can be purchased for a multiple between 4 and 9 of expected earnings. That’s very low compared to my other screens. But you should also know that valuation is a question of belief – Do you trust the earnings forecasts?
