Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of October 2013

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. At the beginning of each month, I screen the market with my best dividend paying stock screening criteria which are listed below.

I believe that it makes sense to observe the market by good valuated long-term growth stocks. For sure many of the results are lucky strikes, companies that have had an extraordinary good financial strength and growth due to a fantastic business environment. But the developments are not sustainable.

But sometimes there are new ideas on my list like Herbalife or recently the weapon maker Sturm & Ruger. Those were corporate stocks in special situations.

The best dividend paying stock list is a small compilation with seven tough investing criteria, summarized below. The list includes each month around 20 to 30 results. It’s a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

My Criteria to find the best dividend stock

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion

Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100

Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20

Return on Investment: > 10 < 100

Operating Margin: > 10 < 100

10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200

10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

28 companies are part of the best dividend paying stock list for October 2013. The top pick is still Southern Copper, a commodity based stock with a double-digit dividend yield. 8 additional stocks have a dividend yield over 5 percent and fourteen got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

13 Cheap High Beta Basic Material Dividend Stocks

Cheap high beta dividend stocks from the basic material sector originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The basic material sector is under fire. Nobody wants to go long on raw material producer or related industries. The fear of a slowing growth in China with the result of cheaper commodity prices is still aware.

The whole sector is down 3.1 percent over the recent six months while the best sector gained 17.9 percent during the same period. So many stocks can be bought for a single P/E within the sector but the risk is still high.

Today I would like to proceed my monthly screening serial about high beta dividend stocks. The basic material sector has a huge base of stock ideas on this field. In order to get the best results, I need to increase my limitations like this:

- Market capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Forward P/E below 15

- 5Y future earnings per share growth over 15 percent yearly

- Beta ratio over 1

Thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which one is a High-Yield. All results have a current buy or better rating.

Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of August 2013

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. It’s always good to have stocks with cheap fundamentals and a proven long-term track record.

For sure, a cheap valuation is no guarantee for a great return and the past performance also doesn’t mean that the future will look like the history but you can get a good overview of the current falling angels at the market. Some of them still have a dominating market position like Chevron, China Mobile or AnheuserBush-Inbev.

Each month, I create a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion

Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100

Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20

Return on Investment: > 10 < 100

Operating Margin: > 10 < 100

10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200

10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

Southern Copper is still the highest yielding company, followed by BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust and Yanzhou Coal Mining.

All three stocks are commodity players. They have benefitted from the big commodity price boom of the recent years and suffer now under price declines.
