Best Dividend Paying Stocks Lists By
Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment
. The best equity investment is a stock with good fundamentals and
a convincing equity story. If this stock is also attractive
valuated it could promise good returns. I've tried to summarize
some significant fundamentals in order to screen the whole capital
markets by interesting dividend stocks. Every month, I create a
quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of
stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks
from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of
more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings
growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and
part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is
selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend
yield.
Market capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100
