3 Top Picks From The Cheapest Dividend Paying Stock List 10/2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I always look for stocks with a cheap valuation and modest growth perspectives.
While the interest environment is low, the market valuation is extraordinary high and it’s more important to take care about a solid price in order to ensure not to overpay a stocks.

Each month I create a quick list that allows me to observe the market by the cheapest growth picks. You can find my criteria below.

– Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
– Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next five years
– Forward P/E ratio under 15
– P/S under 1 and P/B ratio under 2
– Positive Dividends

Only fourteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which twelve have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.
