15 High Yields With The Lowest Dividend Payout Ratios

High Yields with dividend payouts of less than 50 percent and room to boost future dividends originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. If you have only small amounts of money available for investing, you need a higher yield. I do know this problem but I always remember that higher dividend yields are also equally with a higher risk.

16 High Yielding Dividend Stocks With Singe P/E Ratios

High yielding Mid- and Large capitalized dividend stocks with cheap price ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I often write about stocks with cheap fundamentals, mostly about those with a low forward P/E. I believe that this is a great first step to find good bargains at the stock market.

I’m looking for High-Yield dividend stocks with single-digit P/E ratios. In order to limit my screening results, I observed only higher capitalized companies with a market capitalization over USD 2 billion.

Sixteen stocks fulfilled my criteria. Seven of them have a current buy or better rating and fifteen yielding over 10 percent! 

REITs, asset managers and communication stocks are dominating the screen. That’s where you can find the highest dividend yields but the risk is also much higher.
