15 Top Yielding Stocks From The Buyback Achievers Portfolio

Best yielding stocks from the Dividend Buyback Achievers Portfolio originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I always talk about good dividends that grow over time but receiving big dividends from high quality stocks is only the half truth.

A Dividend payment is only one way to distribute earnings to shareholders. Another very effective way to pay money indirect is to buy own shares back.

Today I started a little screen about stocks that have repurchased at least around 5 percent of its own outstanding shares within the recent twelve months.

You can find a complete list of the top yielding stocks from the Dividend Buyback Achievers Portfolio attached. Only fifteen companies from the list have a current yield of more than 3 percent.

20 Best Yielding Stocks From The Share Buyback Achievers Index

The highest yielding stocks from the Share Buyback Achievers index originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love dividends and dividend growth but most investors are fixed on these themes. Some companies know this and they try to catch investors by paying dividends and let them grow. The problem is that they have only a middle class business model and they burn shareholder value by following the dividend growth approach.

Better variants to give money back to shareholders are share buyback programs. The company buys own stocks and reduces the current amount of outstanding shares. As a result, earnings per share grow at a higher rate and the share price should follow because the P/E goes down and yields are up.
There exists an index that covers the best stocks with share buy backs of at least 5 percent or more for the trailing 12 months. The index is called Buyback Achievers Index. Over 200 companies are constituents but only half of them pay dividends.

Today, I like to introduce the 20 highest yielding stocks from the index. Below results are completely different stocks compared to my regular screens about Dividend Champs and other growth picks. Just take a look and get inspired.
