17 Top Yielding Value Small Cap Bargains

It has been almost 7 years of growth and momentum leading the value in returns. This year we have seen significant capital move out of growth and into value. Value stocks are now getting back in favor.

If you are an investor seeking great value investments but you are not fully confident of buying small caps, you should consider mid cap stocks. 

These tend to show up more undervalued opportunities than large caps and the companies are generally better understood and more stable then smaller companies. 

Mid cap stocks should also be less volatile. In this screen, I have stayed under a P/E ratio of 9 and a book value greater than the market value. 

In addition, each of the stocks should have a solid capital finance ratio. The debt-to-equity ratio should therefore be under 1 while the company is profitable due to a positive return on asset.

Finally only growth makes sense in my view. That's also the reason why I'm looking for a positive 5-year earnings per share growth.

Most of these companies also pay great dividends which is always an attractive quality in a value stock. Mid cap stocks with good dividends that you can buy for cheap right now, what is not to like!

Here are the results...

10 Top High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Make Your Portfolio More Attractive


Dividend investing has become very popular in today’s world. It often takes place when investors choose stocks to gain the promised dividends from the companies underlying the stocks. Investors start dividend investing because it allows them a source of income even at the time when the stock market is struggling.

12 Highest Dividend Paying Mortgage Stocks

Stocks from the mortgage investment industry with highest dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

The mortgage investment industry is a very complex looking investment field. Many people lost huge amounts of money during the financial crises if they were invested in this area. But the industry is also liquid for traders and has some of the best yielding stocks on the market. The mortgage industry is small but is still one of the highest dividend paying industries within the financial sector.

The average industry yield amounts to 4.66 percent and the P/E ratio is at 15.10. With a recovering house market, mortgage firms see improvements of their accounted assets. Everything goes slowly but I believe that the turnaround is definitely done.

12 listed mortgage firms pay dividends to investors. Five of them have an actual dividend yield of more than 10 percent and 10 are currently recommended to buy. Most stocks from the results are lower capitalized. Its very risky to put money into those stocks. Linked is a list of the 12 highest dividend paying stocks from the mortgage industry.

20 Stocks With Yields Over 10% And Highest Buy Ratings

Most recommended stocks with very high yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love stocks with high dividend yields but there are only a few with sustainable payments. I think about Altria or Lorillard. Other stocks have a huge potential for a dividend cut, also if they are a Dividend Champion or a stock with a very long dividend growth history. I made this investment mistake with Avon Products. The company was highly leveraged and became some operations problems. Finally they reduced the dividend dramatically.

Most of the people need stocks with very high yields. I don’t because my private wealth is high enough to catch the dividend payments and live off it. In the past, I often thought it would be the only solution to put all my money into the highest yielding stocks with the most attractive fundamentals. This strategy failed and I lost much money within the closed-end shipping industry. That was a big mistake from which I learned and I like to share this with you.


Please don’t put all your money into one stock or make a single bet on a high-yield stock. This is very risky. That’s all I can say. Make a good research and try to avoid an overweighting of a stock or asset theme.


Each month, I made a regular screen about the stocks with the highest dividend yields because I believe there is a lot of value information in it for my readers. This month, I like to show you the 20 most recommended stocks with a double-digit dividend yield and a higher market capitalization (over USD 300 million). Out there are 95 companies with a very high yield but only 35 have a buy or better recommendation. The REIT industry is still a big player on my screen with 6 representatives.

These 14 Stocks With Very High Yields (Over 10%) Are Close To 52-Week Highs

Stocks With Very High Yields Close To One-Year Highs Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I love stocks with very high yields, yields of more than ten percent yearly and 2.5 percent quarter dividend but I also hate stocks with a bad stock performance.

I made a screen of stocks with very high yields as well as a stock price close to 52-Week Highs (up to 5 percent below high). 14 companies fulfilled the screening criteria. From the results are 10 stocks with a current buy or better recommendation.
