These Military Stocks Profiting Mostly From Wars
Since the conclusion of World War
II, the United States and a number of Western European nations have maintained
extremely costly military industrial complexes — both in peacetime and during
the numerous other conflicts since.
The United States
is far and away the largest defense market, and U.S.-based companies
disproportionately comprise the top global arms dealers.
Global military
sales from the 100 largest dealers totaled $401 billion in 2014, down by 1.5% —
but still substantially higher than in 2002 — according to the latest estimates
released by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).
Today I like to
show you those military and defense stocks that offer the most values for
investors.
Each of the
attached results pays a dividend. The results are ranked by market
capitalization. There is a huge range of stocks available.
Here are the best choices
in my view...
8 Reliable Dividend Payers To Watch
A stock's dividend yield equals the
dollar value of the dividend it pays, divided into the dollar value of the
stock that pays it. When the price on that equation gets smaller, the number on
the other side of the equation gets bigger -- and the dividend yield increases.
For dividend
hunters like me, falling stock prices are good. I will only receive a higher
dividend when the company pays the same dividend in the future. Reliability is
a key issue when you put money into stocks.
The most important
figure to evaluate business stability is to look at the 10 year fundamentals of
the company. If you see earnings changes only at a small level, you might have
found a non cyclic business model with a solid dominated market position.
Most of our
long-term dividend growth stocks have such a not accounted asset. The price we
pay for this invisible value is a premium on the book value on the company
accounted assets.
Today I like to
show you some interesting Dividend Achievers, stocks with more than 10 years of
consecutive dividend growth, with attractive fundamentals.
Here are my
screening criteria:
- Beta under 0.5
- 5 Year EPS
growth predictions over 5%
- Sales of the
past 5 years grown over 5%
- Debt to equity
under 0.5

results in detail...
19 Dividend Achievers Below Book Value
In a rising
stock market, all eyes are on the income statement. But in a
flat or falling market, the balance sheet moves into the spotlight. Investors
want to know the real core accounted values of the company.
If you look at the
book value per share, you can easily identify stocks that are traded below
their accounted assets.
If a
company’s P/B ratio is less than one, the shares are selling for less than the
value of the company’s assets.
What Is
Book Value?
Book value
is a measure of all of a company's assets: stocks, bonds, inventory,
manufacturing equipment, real estate, etc. In theory, book value should include
everything down to the pencils and staples used by employees, but for
simplicity's sake companies generally only include large assets that are easily
quantified.
Today I’ve
screened my Dividend Achievers list by stocks with a current P/B ratio below
one. 19 stocks matched exactly my criteria. The attached list shows all of
them, sorted by the lowest ratio to the highest.

20 Best Performing Dividend Stocks Year-To-Date 2016
The
start in the year was not as perfect as we have expected. At the end of last
year, we saw a small bounce back to all-time highs but during the first month
of the year 2016 we saw a small disaster.
The Dow Jones is down 7.29% and the
S&P 500 6.88% for the first 4 weeks of the year. Despite the bad start into
the year, a dozen of stocks gained more than 10 percent.
If this is a small signal for the rest of the year or a simple different reaction, we will see it over the next months.
