20 Top Foreign Dividend Growth Stocks And Which To Consider
Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program . Large capitalized dividend growth stocks from foreign countries originally published at “ long-term-investments.blogspot.com “. Europe is still on fire. The economy is in a triple dip recession and the European member states cut spending. The unemployment is high but every economic depression could be a solid basis for future engagements in the stock market. Today I like to scout for some dividend growth opportunities outside the United States. I screened my database of stocks with a consecutive dividend increase of at least five years by foreign stocks.

20 Top Yielding Mega Caps And Which To Consider
Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program . Mega capitalized stocks and their dividends originally published at “ long-term-investments.blogspot.com “. I often talk about large capitalized stocks and that they might offer a lower risk than small or micro caps. It’s my general experience because I saw their business models and know that large capitalized companies are a compilation of several small and mid caps. Look at Procter & Gamble. They have a huge brand portfolio under the P&G corporate brand and a big part of them generate sales over a billion U.S. Dollar and employs thousands of people. I believe that a compilation of 10 or 20 mid caps could be a better investment for investors because they can benefit from the corporate diversification. For sure, the price they pay is a lower performance compared to pureblooded stocks with a single business model. Stable dividends and systematic growth is my major focus and most of them are generated by higher capitalized stocks. That’s the result of my research. Today I like to give you an overview of the yields from mega caps. Those are companies with a market capitalization above the USD 200 billion mark. Only 20 listed companies have such a big market capitalization and 18 of them pay good dividends; 16 have a buy or better recommendation.

The EBITDA margin is 19.91 percent (the operating margin is 11.81 percent and the net profit margin 10.11 percent). Financial Analysis: The total debt represents 60.42 percent of the company’s assets and the total debt in relation to the equity amounts to 336.56 percent.

20 Cheapest Basic Material Stocks With Dividend Payments
Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program . Basic material dividend stocks with low forward P/E’s originally published at “ long-term-investments.blogspot.com “. Yesterday I read an interesting article about the valuation of the market. We got a gaining momentum. This year alone, the market rose around 15 percent and nobody scares this. The analysts from Bloomberg attempted to compare the situation with the second half of the 90ies where stocks started to boost until they burst. Historically we named this burst the technology bubble 2000. The analyst wrote that the current valuation is still 28 below the mid 90ies. The market is not cheap but not expensive. Other investors talk about a reasonable pricing. They trust the market environment and the FED stimulus and they pay finally the high price. I’m a long-term growth investor and I’ve also realized that most of the high-quality stocks are too expensive to get a good return. With P/E’s of 20 you will definitely make no greater return. Sure, it could be possible that your investment got a 30 P/E in five years or so but that’s not investing, it’s speculation. As you might have seen, I started more screens with cheap price ratios as variables. I still try to seek the cheapest opportunities from the market, but there are only a dozen from each sector. Today I like to discover some ideas from the basic material sector. I’m focused on large caps in my screen. Basic material stocks are still very cheap. The 20 stocks with lowest valuation can be purchased for a multiple between 4 and 9 of expected earnings. That’s very low compared to my other screens. But you should also know that valuation is a question of belief – Do you trust the earnings forecasts? Here are my favorite stocks: BP ( BP ) has a market capitalization of $136.72 billion.

20 Best Yielding Stocks From The Share Buyback Achievers Index
Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program . The highest yielding stocks from the Share Buyback Achievers index originally published at “ long-term-investments.blogspot.com “. I love dividends and dividend growth but most investors are fixed on these themes. Some companies know this and they try to catch investors by paying dividends and let them grow. The problem is that they have only a middle class business model and they burn shareholder value by following the dividend growth approach. Better variants to give money back to shareholders are share buyback programs. The company buys own stocks and reduces the current amount of outstanding shares. As a result, earnings per share grow at a higher rate and the share price should follow because the P/E goes down and yields are up. There exists an index that covers the best stocks with share buy backs of at least 5 percent or more for the trailing 12 months. The index is called Buyback Achievers Index. Over 200 companies are constituents but only half of them pay dividends. Today, I like to introduce the 20 highest yielding stocks from the index. Below results are completely different stocks compared to my regular screens about Dividend Champs and other growth picks. Just take a look and get inspired.

20 Dividend Aristocrats With The Highest Margins From The Index
Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program . Dividend Aristocrats with highest operating margins originally published at “ long-term-investments.blogspot.com “. Dividend Aristocrats are some of the best dividend growth stocks with a proven dividend hike series of more than 25 years. But if you are a fundamental investor, you also look for a strength business. Margins are a good indicator for a healthy business. The margins are important for investors. They show if a company is getting stronger or even weaker within its business area. A very high margin shows that the company has products with a big customer satisfaction and desire. Clients need those products and they pay a high price because they can’t find a better provider. Sometimes margins are very high due to one-off effects. Basic material companies benefitted from high raw commodity prices. They are in a one-off situation which can also keep up for years.
