6 Best Risk Rewarded Dividend Stocks From The S&P 500

Investors should take care about the risk when they plan to invest. A good and well-known indicator for the risk assessment is the Shape ratio.

Below are 6 stocks from the S&P 500 with very attractive Sharpe ratios. My main criteria are a dividend yield of more than 1 percent at a payout ratio of less than 100 percent of earnings.

15 High Beta Dividend Stocks With Very Low Market Valuation

A high beta dividend share with very low forward P/E’s originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I often hear from others that they want to make quick and fast money. I can understand this wish from some investors. If you don’t have enough money for your investing goals, you need to speculate in order to get a higher amount of money in a very short time.

This is a very dangerous process. I’m a believer in slow growing dividend growth and I think that if you safe each month a bit, in the end you will definitely have a high amount of money. The stock market could help you to boost your money with a 5 to 10 percent return.

Speculation is not investing. It’s money gambling like casino or poker. Today I would like to introduce you some of the stocks with the highest sentiment on the market. I used the S&P 500 High Beta Index for the stock ideas. The index covers 100 stocks from the broad S&P 500 with the highest sensitivity to market movements over the past 12 months. The beta ratio is the main valuation driver.

Exactly 71 companies from the S&P 500 High Beta Index pay actual a dividend. I wanted to know which of them are really cheap for the time being. Because there are 52 stocks with a low forward P/E, I selected only those high beta stocks with a very low forward price ratio. 15 shares are valuated with a forward P/E of less than 10 and 13 of them are currently recommended to buy. You can find a list of the results below.

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.

20 Cheapest Technology Dividend Stocks | Innovative Growth At Low Valuation

Technology dividend stocks with low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The stock market goes up and its getting hard to find real bargains. The technology sector is still one of the sectors with cheap assets. Institutional investors love this field because of the high margin growth opportunities.

I’ve found no reason why stocks from the old technology area are so low priced. You can buy some of the major players for enterprise values of 5-10. That’s damn cheap if you compare this figure with companies like Coca Cola. There you pay 12 times of the enterprise value. One reason could be that the technology is changing very fast and every technology could lose their advantage in only a few years. But a ratio of 3 for technology market leader?

However, today I like to proceed with my monthly dividend screen of the cheapest stocks measured by the lowest forward P/E. Because of the huge amount of stocks and the higher risk from smaller companies, I observe only shares with a market cap over USD 10 billion.

The 20 cheapest technology stocks have a valuation multiple between 5.7 and 11.1 of the expected earnings. Two stocks with a double-digit yield are below the results and nine are currently recommended to buy.
