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.

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).

The 20 cheapest stocks with a higher market capitalization are valuated between 7.8 and 12.5. Only one High-Yield is part of the results. Nearly all companies, 17 in total, are currently recommended to buy.
