13 Highest Dividend Paying Diversified Utilities

Highest dividend paying diversified utilities originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". A safe and high income is a dream from most of us. For sure, safe and high incomes without any kind of risk are impossible but out there are still some sectors and industries with companies which have a high possibility to fulfill these items. Let me mention one thing: Safe dividends do not exist and a safe dividend is no growing dividend. If your income does not grow over the long-run, you will get poorer and poorer due to the inflation pressure.

Not enough, if your company does not hike prices and grow it will lose earnings and must cut dividends in the future. Growth is the key and not safe dividends. Today I like to scout the utility sector by the highest dividend paying opportunities. The sector is one of the smallest branched ones because of its five sub industries. I will focus on the diversified utility industry today which has already 24 stocks listed. The industry is the highest dividend paying industry (4.64 percent average yield) from the utility sector and also the biggest branch with a total market capitalization of $11.41 trillion.


Nearly all 22 companies from the diversified utility industry pay dividends. Linked is a small table with some fundamentals of the highest dividend paying stocks with a market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion. It’s always good to have a bigger stock with a diversified business model.


Thirteen diversified utilities fulfilled my criteria of which five have a current buy or better rating.


Best Utility Dividend Stock Picks For 2013

The utility sectors offers generally high dividend yields with value. The negative point is that the sector is very capital intensive and the growth potential is limited. However, I wanted to know what stocks are the best dividend stock buy picks for the next year. I screened all 123 listed utility stocks by the best ones for next year. My criteria are:

- Forward P/E under 15
- Past Sales growth recent 10 years over 5 percent
- Positive Earnings per share growth for the next five years
- Operating Margin over 10 percent

Twelve companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Eight of them have a buy or better rating. The mostly represented industry is the eclectic utility industry. I personally don’t own any utility stocks because I am a dividend growth investor. I always look for growing companies with strong brands and high abilities to expand aboard. Utilities don’t fulfill these criteria. So my main focus will be on the consumer sector.
