5 Dividend Growers With A Low PEG Ratio

Post on: 9 Июль, 2015 No Comment

I have searched for highly profitable stocks that pay rich dividends, and their last dividend declared is greater than the last dividend paid. Those stocks would also have to show a very low P/E ratio and a very low PEG ratio.

I used the Portfolio123’s powerful screener to perform the search. The screen’s formula requires all stocks to comply with all following demands:

The stock does not trade over-the-counter (OTC).
Price is greater than 1.00.
Market cap is greater than $100 million.
Dividend yield is greater than 3%.
Last dividend declared is greater than the last dividend paid.
Total debt to equity is less than 1.00.
Trailing P/E is less than 15.
Forward P/E is less than 15.
PEG ratio is less than 1.10.

After running this screen on December 22, 2013, only five stocks came out, as shown in the charts below. In my opinion, these stocks can reward an investor a significant capital gain along with a nice income. I recommend readers to use this list of stocks as a basis for further research. All the data for this article were taken from Yahoo Finance, Portfolio123 and finviz.com.

The PEG ratio is very low at 0.82, and the average annual earnings growth estimates for the next five years is quite high at 13.90%. The forward annual dividend yield is quite high at 3.74%, and the payout ratio is only 42%.

On November 04, HSBC Holdings reported its third-quarter financial results.

Third-Quarter Highlights

Reported profit before tax up 30% in the third quarter of 2013 at US$4,530m compared with US$3,481m in the same period in 2012

Underlying profit before tax was US$5,056m, up 10% in 3Q13, compared with US$4,603m in 3Q12.

Reported PBT for nine months to 30 September 2013 up 15% at US$18,601m, US$2,383m higher than in the same period in 2012.

Underlying PBT for the nine months to 30 September 2013 up 34% at US$18,145m, US$4,640m higher than the prior year period.

Earnings per share and dividends per share for the nine months to 30 September 2013 were US$0.71 and US$0.30, respectively, compared with US$0.58 and US$0.27 for the equivalent period in 2012.

Annualised return on equity 1.5 ppt higher — nine months to 30 September 2013 annualised return on average ordinary shareholders’ equity (‘RoE’) was 10.4% compared with 8.9% in the equivalent period in 2012.

Our home markets of UK and Hong Kong contributed more than half of the Group’s underlying PBT in the quarter and year to date. We expect both to see GDP growth in 2014 over 2013.

Stable revenue — 3Q13 underlying revenue of US$15,588m was broadly unchanged compared with US$15,661m in 3Q12. Notwithstanding this, we achieved broad-based revenue growth in Hong Kong.

Lower 3Q13 underlying operating expenses — 3Q13 underlying operating expenses were US$9,572m, down 4% from US$9,952m in 3Q12. Excluding notable items, operating expenses increased reflecting higher investment expenditure, wage inflation and litigation and regulatory-related costs.

Maintained momentum in sustainable savings — during 3Q13 we achieved US$0.4bn of additional sustainable cost savings across all regions, taking the annualised total to US$4.5bn since the start of 2011. This exceeds our target for the end of 2013.

Further progress on capital generation but regulatory uncertainty remains — our core tier 1 ratio was 13.3% and our common equity tier 1 ratio was 10.6% in 3Q13.

HSBC Holdings has compelling valuation metrics and strong earnings growth prospects. In my opinion, HSBC stock can move higher. Furthermore, the rich dividend represents a nice income.
