12 Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps And Which To Consider

Submitted by Dividend Yield as part of our contributors program.

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend stocks with lovely looking fundamentals and cheap price ratios can promise you a good return but they are also very rare. The higher the efforts of your screen are, the lower the number of results you get. Today I would like to update my monthly screen about the cheapest dividend paying stocks on the capital market. I use six very strong criteria and only around a dozen companies remain each month.

My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:
– Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
– Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.
– P/E ratio under 15
– P/S and P/B ratio under 2
– Positive Dividends

Thirteen companies fulfilled this time the criteria and nine of them have a current buy or better rating. One stock has a high yield on a twelve trailing month basis (5 percent dividend yield). To buy cheap stocks is no guarantee for a return but you get value for what you pay and the possibility to overpay a stock is also low is the business model is somehow stable.
