15 High Yields With The Lowest Dividend Payout Ratios

High Yields with dividend payouts of less than 50 percent and room to boost future dividends originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. If you have only small amounts of money available for investing, you need a higher yield. I do know this problem but I always remember that higher dividend yields are also equally with a higher risk.

Today I would like to screen all higher yielding stocks with a dividend yield over 5 percent and a market capitalization above the 2 billion mark by its payout ratios. I’m hunting for opportunities that pay less than 50 percent of its earnings. I believe that there should be more room for a small dividend hike if earnings are not cyclic and grow over the time.

Fifteen high yielding stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eleven are currently recommended to buy.

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.

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.
