Prices and Yields

1/10/2016

0 Comments

 
With the prices of stocks falling as much as they have this past week, an investor would expect dividend yields to be at all time highs. And in many cases that's exactly what's happened. But stocks don't fall simply for the benefit of Dividend Growth Investors. They often fall because either investors recognize that the fundamentals no longer support those lofty prices or that the fundamentals are beginning to deteriorate soon.

One way to see if an investor is paying too much for a stock is by looking at the stock's PEG. It's the multiple of the earnings growth rate and ideally you'd like to pay less than the growth rate, or a PEG <1. The other thing to look at is the payout ratio. Any company that's paying out more than 100% of earnings in dividends can't continue to do that for long because they're either shrinking the company or borrowing the money. And that's not good for the long term holder.

Below is a list of companies that many Dividend Growth Investors like to invest in and it shows the current yield, PEG and Payout Ratio. Hopefully this will give me a few ideas for further research and steer me away from some companies that really should be left for others to invest in.

    I am an Individual Investor with specific interest in long term growth and then enhancing my returns with income from dividends and derivatives. I don't recommend stocks to anyone (it's a good way to lose friends) and no one reading this should misinterpret my blog as a recommendation for any type of investment. I am writing this solely for myself and my kids.
