16 Cheap And High-Yielding Stocks From The S&P 500

S&P 500 stocks with low earnings multiples and high dividends originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I remember times when the popular S&P 500 index had more than 15 constituents of High-Yields. Today we only got seven!

Yes, market getting more and more expensive. The S&P 500 is up 22.85 percent this year and marked All-Time-Highs. In times when P/E’s of 20+ are the new valuation standard, it’s more important to keep an eye on cheaply priced stocks.

That’s the main reason why I would like to produce a screen from the mainstream index S&P 500 by the cheapest and highest yielding stocks measured with a forward P/E of less than 15 and a dividend yield over 4 percent.

Only sixteen corporate stocks fulfilled these criteria of which five have a buy or better rating. Utilities are the dominating investment category.

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.

72 Top Dividend Stocks With Ex-Dividend Date In September 2013

Monthly high yielding shares researched by “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. We are coming close to the end of August and I would like to look forward to find good stock ideas for the next month. 

I try to screen some interesting stocks that go ex-dividend within the next month.

I also publish articles each day on my site about the biggest ex-dividend shares of the next trading day. Let me say one thing. There is no margin trade idea behind because on the ex date, the stock will be traded ex-dividend and for a return of 0.5 percent it’s not attractive to hunt for a margin trade because the daily fluctuations are much higher.

But it makes sense to look at these lists because you get a quick overview about the stocks with a possible rising trading volume and if you are a long-term dividend investor, you get a quick cash return and don’t need to wait for the next dividend period.

However, every month, I create a small list about interesting high yielding stocks with ex-dividend date for the next month. I think it could bring you some values to see what companies pay you cash next month with an attractive equity story.

As result, I found 72 stocks with an average dividend yield of 7.89 percent. Ten stocks have a double-digit yield and 28 a high yield below 10 percent but over 5 percent. 32 stocks from the results have a buy or better recommendation.

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.
