In order to find some opportunities, I screened all Dividend Contenders with a very low price to book ratio. Especially in times of heavy crises, the reproduction value or the market value of properties, machines and equipments is an award lowmark for investors. If the price of the whole company falls below the value of the equity, you should get real bargains from the value site. 12 Dividend Contenders have a current P/B ratio of less than one. Two of them are high-yields and eight are recommended to buy.
Here are my favorite stocks:

A company’s book value is derived by summing up all of its assets and subtracting all its liabilities. This is, arguably, what would be left after a total liquidation of the company. Some investors focus on book value when investing because it is an accounting look at what one is buying without the bias of investor sentiment. To this end, it is as close as one can get to a pure picture of what a company is worth, keeping in mind, of course, that accounting isn’t exactly a pure science.
ReplyDeleteGenerally speaking, a stock trading near or below book value is of the most interest, since such a company can be bought for close to or, better yet, less than what it is “worth” — at least by one measure. Clearly, investors looking at this largely value-oriented metric prefer buying a dollar of assets for less than a dollar.
