19 Cheaply Valuated Stocks With Forces To Become The Next Top Dividend Grower On The Market

Dividend growth stocks on the move to become a real long-term dividend grower originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth is a great and powerful tool for all normal and small investors to participate in a honest and passive way from the economic success of a corporate.

America is definitely the country with the highest amount of stocks that share profits with shareholders fairly. Believe me; I've seen thousands of companies all around the world where investors get robbed by management teams, lead investors or even the government.

My investment focus is on dividend growth stocks but over the recent months and years, we all have seen a significant increase in price multiples. Most of the best long-term dividend growers are valuated with a P/E of 20 or more. If you pay such high ratios, you will definitely not get a good inflation and risk-adjusted return over the long-run if you invest in a slow growing business.

Today, I try to find additional dividend stocks that are near to achieve a consecutive dividend growth history of at least five years.

Around 150 stocks are available with 4 years of dividend growth. With the next hike they could become a real Dividend Challenger. My hope is that some of them are cheaper than the older and well-established stocks.

You can find attached a list of all large capitalized stocks with a low forward price to earnings ratio of less than 15. Only 19 companies fulfilled these criteria of which nearly all (17 shares) are recommended to buy.

15 Growing Dividend Stocks That Buffett/Munger Would Choose

Dividend stocks from the Buffett/Munger screener originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger are the two investment heads of Berkshire Hathaway. If they decide to put money into a business, they usually have a good nose for their investment which will be paid-off.

With a long-term annual return wide above 20 percent, they definitely have done the most things right. 

Today I would like to present you the best dividend stocks from the gurufocus Buffett/Munger screener. The tool searches the market by good companies at fair or even undervalued prices. The screener take only stocks with a high predicable business into account. 

These are some of the criteria:
- Rising Margin
- Growing Business
- Little Debt
- Fair or Undervalued

The Buffett/Munger screener gives you over 200 results but I like to focus on the U.S. stock market. 

From 77 American stocks are only 15 shares that pay dividends. Buffett and Munger will definitely love some of these results. 

The good thing is that the screener don’t show results of stocks in which they are already invested. For a closer overview about the latest stock purchases from Warren Buffett and his latest portfolio, please look here: Warren Buffet’s Latest Stock Picks And His Biggest Portfolio Holdings.

On High-Yield is below the results and nine got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

54 Large Cap Dividend Stocks At All-Time Highs And Which To Buy

High capitalized dividend stocks at All-Time-High prices originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Only a rising stocks is a good stock if you are invested. The markets are really bullish after FED chairman Bernanke has flooded the market with cheap money over the recent years. As a result, the many stock markets all over the world hit all-time highs. But not all stocks are winners.

I’ve screened the market by large capitalized stocks at All-Time-Highs. 76 companies have reached this goal and 54 of them pay good dividends. It looks like stocks at new highs are also highly priced. That’s not true. 30 of the top results still have a forward P/E below 15.

Below is a small list of the dividend stocks at new All-Time-Highs with forward P/E’s fewer than 15 as well as double-digit earnings growth predictions for the next five years. Eleven companies fulfilled these criteria.

Half-Time Report: The Best Healthcare Dividend Stocks And Which Of Them Are The Cheapest

Healthcare dividend stocks with the highest year-to-date performance originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We’ve completed the month June and it’s time to report which stocks have risen most within the first six months of the year. It’s ever good to see which stocks are hot in the market and which of them are still cheap valuated.

That’s the main reason why I like to produce an article serial with performance figures of the best performing stocks from several sectors of the financial market.

Today I like to screen the healthcare sector by dividend stocks with the highest stock performance since the beginning of the year.

The 20 most successful companies have realized a performance between 22.01 percent and 73.98 percent. The average capital gain was 36.24 percent. Despite the strong stock price hike, seventeen of them still have a buy or better rating.

22 Dividend Boosters From Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 13 stocks and 9 funds announced a dividend hike within the recent week. The number of dividend growers remains weak.

The biggest names on the list are United Health and Lowe’s as well as Fedex. In addition, five companies cut dividends and one announced a special initial dividend.

I know it’s hard to manage dividend growth especially when the company is acting within a very cyclic industry. But dividend growth is an expression to shareholders about the company’s success and the willingness to share profits with the ownership of the company.

10 of the 13 stocks are currently recommended to buy.

20 Cheapest Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Healthcare dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Wow, the stock market rises from month to month. The negative thing is that stock prices rise faster than the earnings and stocks getting therefore more expensive. This is a development which is still healthy because of the low yielding bond market. But it’s not sustainable if the interest rates rise. Everybody can imagine what happens if the Fed hikes its rates.

So, my major screening focus goes to cheap stocks, stocks with a low price to earnings ratio. Below is a list of the 20 cheapest healthcare dividend stocks with a forward P/E of less than 15. Health care plans companies are currently the cheapest choice in the list. Two High-Yields are part of the results and fifteen companies are recommended to buy.
