19 Cheap Asian Large Cap Dividend Stocks

Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program.

Large capitalized stocks with low forward P/E’s and good dividends originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com“. Dividends are popular and Asian stocks too. A combination of both is not a guarantee for a great return but it brings more ideas to you and your thoughts broaden when you see how Asian stocks are priced.

Today I like to screen some of the best yielding Asian stocks with a listing in the United States. American Depositary Receipts, that’s the correct title. They do not include all top yielding stocks from Asia but ADR’s have a better volume and need to fulfill the SEC requirements. A full compilation of the top dividend stocks from Asia can be found in my weekly publised PDF Dividend Weekly. The book covers over 1,000 dividend paying shares and is completely free.

My criteria:

– Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
– Positive Dividend Yield
– Forward P/E below 15

Nineteen stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which thirteen have a current buy or better recommendation. Telecoms and oil stocks are dominating the screen.
