11 Cheap High Beta Consumer Goods Dividend Stocks

Cheap high beta dividend stocks from the consumer goods sector originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You might know that I really love stocks from the consumer goods sector. They offer a very good risk profile for income seeking investors with a desire for future dividend growth. The problem is that they are also highly valuated. This was one of the reasons why I needed to purchase more and more stocks from other sectors like industrials and healthcare stocks.

I’m not worried about this because with every single stock purchase of other industries and sectors, my diversification rises. The second negative item in terms of consumer good stocks is that most of them are low beta stocks. If you like to make money in a strong upside market, you lose performance with low beta stocks.

This is the reason why I discovered some high beta stocks with attractive valuation figures this month in an article serial. If you are interested, here are the links to the articles:

· 13 Cheap High Beta Basic Material Dividend Stocks

· 18 High Beta Services Dividend Paying Stocks

· 9 High Beta Utilities | Good Yields At High Potential

· 19 High Beta Technology Dividend Stocks At Reasonable Prices Compared To Growth

· 17 High Momentum Healthcare Dividend Stocks

· Cheap Financial Dividend Stocks With +15% Expected 5Y Earnings Growth

Back the current screen about high beta consumer dividend stocks. I observed this time large capitalized consumer dividend stocks with a low forward P/E and a beta ratio above one.

My screen produced only eleven results with yields between 0.71 percent and 2.58 percent. Nearly all of them (10 stocks) have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On May 07, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

12 Best Dividend Paying Diversified Machinery Stocks

Stocks from the diversified machinery industry with the highest dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Industrials are not high margin stocks but they can deliver good returns.

Investors must be careful because an industrial goods stock has no end-consumer as client. They are more volatile, depending on the raw economy, and they can lose in recessions 50 percent of its profits or more.

Not all industrials are highly cyclic. It mainly depends on the degree of diversification. United Technology is an example for a high quality dividend growth stock which is located close to the industrial sector. UTX is also a low beta stock but more likely classifiable as a conglomerate.

Today I like to discover the diversified machinery industry by the highest dividend paying stocks. 69 companies have a relationship to the industry but only 42 pay dividends. The average dividend yield of stocks from the diversified machinery industry amounts to 2.40 percent and the average P/E is 19.0.

Linked is a list of the 12 large caps with the highest yield. Nearly all of them have a current buy or better rating. Diversification is the key for a successful investment.

General Electic (GE) Is The Next Stock Buy For The Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio

After the recent buys of Unilever and Nestlé, I want to force the industrial sector in my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio (DYPI). One big player within the sector is General Electric (GE).

General Electric Company operates as a technology and financial services company worldwide. The company's Energy Infrastructure segment offers wind turbines; gas and steam turbines and generators; integrated gasification combined cycle systems; aircraft engine derivatives; nuclear reactors, fuel, and support services; oil and gas extraction and mining motors and control systems; aftermarket services; water treatment solutions; power conversion infrastructure technology and services; and integrated electrical equipment and systems.

Dividends and Earnings Of General Electric (GE)

GE is a diversified machinery stock with $245 billion market capitalization and sales of $147 billion. The current P/E ratio amounts to 16.83 and the dividend yield is at 3.25 percent. Earnings are expected to grow for the mid-term by a double-digit rate. The forward P/E is 12.71.

I bought 65 shares for a price of 23.39. The total purchase amount was $1,525.35 and will give me around $50 per year in additional dividends. The total portfolio income is now forecasted at $1,131.18 per year.

The average portfolio yield is 3.56 percent and the yield on cost (yield when I bought the stocks) amounts to 3.75 percent). The yield ratio declined because of the small capital gain of 4.87 percent.

Latest Portfolio Transactions (Click to enlarge)

The virtual portfolio has now 21 stock holdings. Combined they have a current market value of $31,428.4. I purchased all stocks for a total cost of $29,968.25. Stocks of the DYPI-Portfolio are up 4.87 since the date of funding – October 04, 2012.

Only 30 percent of the 100k funded asset vehicle is currently invested. Roughly 70 percent or $70,177.80 in cash is still available for further stock acquisitions. With this money, I plan to increase the total number of stocks to 50-70 by the end of this year. With this in mind, the whole dividend income should grow to $3,000 to $4,000 per year. Over the next decade, this amount should double.

The total portfolio performance is 1.61 percent of which 1.56 percent was generated this year.

Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio Performance (Click to enlarge)

GE is a high debt loaded company. The total long-term loans amounted to $414 billion as of Q4/2012 and cash of $125.7 billion was accounted. The company has also a strong cash flow of $33 billion and an EBITDA in a range of $18 billion. So the EV/EBITDA ratio is around 17 - that's a damn high value. But capital business works different. In times of rising financial costs or financial crises, the business model could be hurt.
