My 3 Favorite Stock Picks From The Technology Dividend Potentials List

Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program.

Technology dividend stocks with low payout ratios and little debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to go forward with my article serial about low leveraged stocks from several sectors with currently small dividend payouts. I will discover some of the greatest low leveraged technology stocks on the market with also low dividend payout ratios.

My criteria are still a low dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent as well as a debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5. In order to get only higher capitalized stocks, I decided to choose only those companies with a market cap of more than USD 2 billion.

Fourteen shares fulfilled these criteria of which eleven got a buy or better rating.
