  • 14 Large Caps Dividend Stocks Close To New 52-Week Highs

    Large capitalized dividend stocks near 52-Week Highs originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". The markets are bullish and stocks move up. It's getting hard to find real bargains or low valuated high-quality dividend stocks. The good thing is that in a bullish market, you can make money with different kind of stocks. Everything goes up and the main reason behind the expansive monetary policy.

    Today I like to discover some large caps that are on the jump to reach new 52-Week Highs (up to 10 percent) or to hit All-Time-Highs. Only 14 companies are on the edge to touch new highs. That's a small number compared to the strong market.

    I love it when stocks make a home run. It seems that nobody can stop them but take care about the valuation. Some stocks have a P/E over 20! It could be dangerous to buy highly priced assets. Below the results are five with a yield over three percent. Ten have a buy or better recommendation.

    Here is the full table with some fundamentals:

    14 Large Caps Dividend Stocks Close To New 52-Week Highs...

    Take a closer look at the full list. The average P/E ratio amounts to 19.71 and forward P/E ratio is 13.78. The dividend yield has a value of 2.54 percent. Price to book ratio is 4.39 and price to sales ratio 1.85. The operating margin amounts to 14.29 percent and the beta ratio is 1.34. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 2.33.

  • Best Yields With Ex-Dividend Day Between May 20 - 26, 2013

    Weekly Ex-Dividend Dates and Yields by Ex-Dividend Dates. Here is a current stock and Fund list of dividend stocks paying forthcoming dividends and having ex-dividend within the week May 20, 2012 - May 26, 2013. The average dividend-yield amounts to 3.15 percent.

    Best Yields With Ex-Dividend Day Between May 20 - 26, 2013....

    The ex-dividend date is a major date related to the payment of dividends. If you purchase a stock on its ex-dividend date or later, you will not receive the next dividend payment. Instead, the seller gets the dividend. If you purchase before the ex-dividend date, you get the dividend. It is important that your broker settles your trade before the ex-dividend date.

  • 20 Mega Caps And Their Dividend Payments

    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:

    Take a closer look at the full list. The average P/E ratio amounts to 16.78 and forward P/E ratio is 12.80. The dividend yield has a value of 3.26 percent. Price to book ratio is 2.84 and price to sales ratio 2.37. The operating margin amounts to 19.01 percent and the beta ratio is 0.79. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 0.70.
