17 High Yielding Dividend Achievers | Cheap Income Growth Stocks

Dividend income growth stocks with high yields and low price-to-earnings ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. High yielding stocks in a low interest environment is the only solution to hedge your assets against inflation.

But high yielding stocks are rare when the Fed keeps its leading interest rates close to zero percent and pull the market loan rates via bond purchases to the ground. But the inflation risk is still aware and you will get poorer over the time.

I stopped purchasing stocks for my own accounts since the beginning of the year. It was a wrong decision because equities are now more expensive. I don’t believe that they are still cheap, more likely fair valuated or slightly overpriced. 

It’s very hard to discover good stocks with solid dividend growth and high yields. I talk about yields over 3 percent and not the big risk including stocks with yields far above 5 percent.

Today I would like to screen the High-Dividend Achievers Index by stocks with inflation adequate yields and low price-to-earnings ratios. I prefer a ratio of the forward P/E below 15. Only 17 of 50 index members fulfilled these criteria. You can find a detailed list of these stocks attached.

Two High-Yields are part of the results and five received a current buy or better rating. Banks and utilities are the dominating industries on the list.

11 Cheapest Stocks From The High-Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Index

Stocks from the High-Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Index with low forward P/E’s originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. As you might have known, the research of high quality equities is very expensive and hard work. There is a good way to find high-quality dividend stocks with less work and cost. You discover only indices which cover the best dividend stocks.

Bang, that’s a very good solution for lazy investors like me. The Dividend Aristocrats Index is a well known index, created by the credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s. For advanced investors, Dividend Aristocrats are very boring and it’s real annoying to read every time the same stuff from the same companies.

Today I would like to introduce you some of the cheapest dividend paying stocks from the High-Yield Equity Dividend Achievers Index. 50 members are part of the index which is based on the NASDAQ Dividend Achievers 50 Index. The Index is comprised of 50 stocks selected principally on the basis of dividend yield and consistent growth in dividends. If you are interested in a detailed list of all constituents with some major price ratios, you can purchase a current updated factsheet of the 50 index members here.

Back to my screen: Only eleven companies from the index have a forward P/E below 15 and three of them are currently recommended to buy.

Consumer goods dividend stocks with highest float short ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Consumer goods stocks are often the most preferred source for dividend growth investors. I don’t know why but the consumer sector has the largest amount of stocks with a solid dividend history. They are less volatile and work with good margins. For sure, the growth perspectives are not a good as for technology stocks and the debt is also everything else than slim but they are still attractive.

Today I like to close my monthly article serial about dividend stocks with the highest float short ratio. Here are the links from the serial:

· 20 Technology Dividend Stocks, Most Shorted By Investors

· 13 Highly Shorted Healthcare Dividend Stocks

Today I like to look at the consumer goods stocks and excluded stocks with a market capitalization below 300 million as well as stocks without dividends.

My top 20 stocks have a float short ratio between 8.21 percent and 28.92 percent. The highest short selling stock is Pitney Bowes. The company is followed by the auto parts seller Monro Muffler Brake.

14 Low Priced Dividend Champions

Dividend Champions with low price to earnings ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". It’s important to have a clear picture of all your price ratios from your stock holdings. If you see that there is one company too high valuated compared to the growth perspective, you should consider to reduce the position.

The same on the long side: If you purchase a stock, you should only buy at reasonable prices. I know, everybody tells you this and sometimes P/E’s of 25 or 30 are still reasonable. It’s a question of believe and trust.

Today, I like to show you all Dividend Champions with a current P/E ratio of less than 15. Only 14 companies (around 14 percent of all champions) are so low valuated. Most of them have a good mid-term growth perspective.

Seven of the results have a current buy or better rating.
