Dividend Sheet's  Instablog

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.

Here is the full table with some fundamentals:

Consumer dividend stocks with cheap price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love consumer dividend stocks. Nearly 60 of my own stock allocation have a relationship to the sector. For sure they also got a very low performance compared to other stocks but they give me somehow stability and trust to invest bigger amounts of money into stocks.

A few years before, I purchased consumer stocks for an average yield of 3.5 percent. Today the sector is traded at a yield ratio of 2.78 percent despite the fact that they have raised year over year their dividends. Also consumer stocks getting more expensive and the only reason for this development is the expansive monetary policy.

Today I like to go forward with my monthly screens of the cheapest dividend stocks measured by the lowest forward P/E. The 20 cheapest stocks with a higher market capitalization are valuated between 7.8 and 12.5. Only one High-Yield is part of the results. Nearly all companies (17) are currently recommended to buy.
