These 42 Stocks Planning To Pay More Dividends

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Last week, around 42 companies announced a high dividend. I published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 15.51 percent.

It’s always good to see how the dividend growth strategy works. Some of the dividend growers have raised their payments forty times and more. The biggest names come from the oil and gas sector. Eni and Total are the two biggest stocks followed by the British spirit maker Diageo.

Five of the results have a double-digit dividend yield and seven yielding above five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend more than half, 26 in total, of the dividend growth stocks.

15 Stocks From The S&P 500 With Single P/E Ratios

Stocks from the S&P 500 with P/E’s below 10 originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. It’s too easy to say that stocks with a low price-to-earnings ratio are cheap but the figure tells you a lot about the valuation of a company on the first view. 

Stocks with a low valuation are also rare. For instance, the popular S&P 500 index has only 28 members with a P/E below 10. Around 80 percent of them, in total 23, pay dividends. Current P/E’s are great but it’s always good to look at the forward P/E because it uses the future earnings of the company.

Only 16 companies from the S&P 500 have both, a current P/E and forward P/E of less than 10. If you buy those stocks you purchase them for a net income yield of 10 percent. That’s a good value in my view if the business works robust and grows with a pace of 5 to 10 percent yearly. You can find a full list of the 15 dividend paying stocks with a single P/E below. Insurer and oil & gas refining & marketing companies are mostly represented on the screen.
