19 Cheap High-Yield Opportunities From The Financial Sector

Financial stocks can offer great opportunities for dividend investors. Financials will benefit from rising interest rate expectations and a steeper yield curve. 

The sector offers the least expensive valuation of any sector in the S&P 500, trading at a mere 13.5 price/earnings multiple. Financials also benefit from positive loan growth, which should occur this year.

In addition, it is the sector that has the most sensitivity to higher interest rates. While multiples have increased for most of these stocks since the election, many are trading at a substantial discount to the market. Deregulation could create potential earnings per share upside for the entire sector.

12 Cheap Higher Capitalized Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 7%

Dividend stocks are all the rage now, for better or for worse, because bond yields have effectively dried up as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates at record lows. 

I’ve been of mixed feelings about this trend, because the chase for yield has led income investors away from the relative safety of bonds and into dividend stocks, which do carry more risk.

Thus, as more and more money flows into dividend stocks, they start to get stretched as far as valuation is concerned. When it comes to stocks to buy, jumping in simply for the dividend isn’t a great idea.

That’s because, should the valuations of these dividend stocks contract back towards the mean, the loss will be in excess of the dividends paid out over several years.

So I’m trying to find options that are a bit less vulnerable to that kind of price contraction, while also offering a 7% yield or higher to offset some of the existing risk.

20 Midcap High-Yield Stocks With Dividend Yields Between 5.05% and 20.21%

When you year the term "high yield dividend stock," probably the thing that comes to mind is a stock with a dividend yield in the 5%-7% range. 

If you are looking at the highest yielding stocks out there, then we're talking about companies with yields in the teens, twenties, and even as high as 70%! 

If that kind of return sounds too good to be true, that's because it is. Here's a list of the 20 highest yielding dividend stocks that are traded on the major U.S. exchanges and have market caps of greater than $2 billion.

Each of the results have a positve return on asset ratio which means that the corporate makes money on its assets. In addition, these income should grow over the next five years.

I also implemented a ratio to experess the debt load of the company. The stocks should have a debt-to-equity ratio of less than 1.

The 20 top results have a yield ratio between 5.05% and 20.21%

Here are the 20 highest yielding results from the list...

These 15 Low Leveraged Dividend Stocks Paying Yields Over 10%

If you want to get a high dividend, not a large of 5 percent or more, I'm talking about yields far over 10% yearly, you need to take big risks. 

Normally, a 10% or more yields is normally a tell-tale sign that a dividend payout is unsustainable. A stock that has a dividend yield in the double digits can be incredibly tempting to an investor. The problem with dividend stocks is that so many of those high yields are eventually cut because the businesses can't continue to support the payout. 

That isn't always the case, though. Some companies have monstrously high yields that aren't at much risk of being cut. Attached I've tried to compile a few stocks with a double-digit yields that have fundamental strength to keep paying its investors. 

On the market are 276 companies with a current dividend yield over 10%. Mostly high leveraged companies from the energy and real estate sector are under them.

I've put my eyes on those stocks with a market cap over 2 billion and a debt to equity under 1. Exactly 15 companies have such a good ratio.
