15 High Yielding Stocks Close To New 52-Week Highs

High Yield Large Caps quite below new 52-Week Highs originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I’m not a momentum trader who seeks the hottest investment opportunities over the short run. I am looking for high quality dividend paying stocks that hike cash payments to shareholders each year and plan to continue this for decades. For sure, there are not many corporate that can manage this need. Only 15 stocks or so have achieved to rise dividends year over year for more than 50 years.

I also look at stocks at new highs. I believe that it’s a good sign when the stock is near all time highs or close to new 52-Week Highs. Something must run well right and investors gift trust to the corporate. You should definitely care about a solid valuation and avoid it to buy stocks with higher P/E’s.

Today I would like to present you some higher capitalized High Yields that are a few percentage points below new 52-Week Highs. It should be possible that these stocks can hit new highs in the near future.

Only fifteen stocks with more than USD 2 billion market capitalization are traded close to new highs and twelve of them got a current buy or better rating by investment firms. Two companies have a double-digit dividend yield.

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.

15 Higher Capitalized Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks

Stocks with monthly dividend payments originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I know that you love it to receive dividends and some of you want dividends on a monthly basis.

I talked about this theme in the past and mentioned that it doesn’t matter how often you will receive the dividend. The good thing is that you get smaller amounts of money earlier that you can use for other investing activities. The bad item is that the more often you get dividends the higher the costs for the company because each transaction will produce costs at banks and service providers.

However, today I would like to introduce some of the 15 biggest companies with a monthly dividend payment. Seven of them yielding over five percent and nine got a buy or better rating from brokerage firms.

Most of the monthly dividends paying stocks have a relation to the financial sector e.g. REITs, Banks or asset management. The second biggest part of the list goes to basic material stocks like gold or oil companies.

These 29 Stocks Hiked Their Dividend Payments Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I strongly believe that dividend growth investing will deliver good returns. As of now, I quadrupled my net worth by trading dividend growth stocks and boosted my passive income to a five-figure annual salary.

It’s great to see how everybody can build a portfolio of stocks that is growing and becomes better over the time. It feels like you are a real investor. Not playing with money or spending it. You invest it. You watch your assets and observe how your portfolio companies develop over the time. Some stocks will disappoint you and fail for sure. But if you have a good diversification of at least 50 shares or more, your average return will be great.

However, back to the current dividend growth stocks from last week. On my blog long-term-investments.blogspot.com, I publish on a regular basis lists of the latest dividend growers.

Last week, 29 companies announced a higher dividend. I’ve published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list for you. You can also find a compilation of price and yield ratios there. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 17.03 percent.

Four of the results have a high yield of more than five percent and three yielding over 10%. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend 14 of the latest dividend growth stocks.

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.

12 Stocks With Very High Yields (+10%) And Positive Growth Expectations

10% yielding stocks with future earnings growth originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We all look for high dividend payments. I for myself am fixed to get a 3 percent return with good long-term growth perspectives. Others like High-Yields with stable payments.

Today I like to show you the highest yielding stocks at the market with positive earnings per shares growth for the next five years. I know, stocks with yields above the 10 percent mark are very risky and they like to reduce their payments in the future. In order to reduce the risks from lower capitalized stocks, I selected only those companies with a market cap above 2 billion.

Only 12 companies fulfilled my mentioned criteria of which five have a current buy or better rating. The results are dominated by real estate trusts. Annaly Capital Management is still on the list but they needed to cut dividends last week by 11.1 percent from 0.45 to 0.4 cts per share. Die interest rate increase hurts the company.

20 Stocks And Funds With Dividend Growth

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I enjoy it really to see how dividends grow. One company with monthly payments that hiked its dividends with an impressive speed is the retail real estate trust Realty Income. Last week they announced only a small hike of 0.2 percent but this bigger dividend will be paid every month.

I personally don’t like REITs and financials because of the high debt. They also invested huge amounts into assets of which I have no idea how they could perform. I stay by my core research competence and let them do their work.

Last week, 19 companies and one fund announced a dividend hike. Only half of them have a current buy or better rating. The average dividend growth of the top dividend growers from last week amounts to 53.73 percent.
