Stocks with high dividend yields and buy ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to give you an update of the higher capitalized stocks with buy ratings by brokerage firms. I personally prefer stocks with lower yields and better growth perspectives because I don't need high yields to live-off.

Only 13 stocks fulfilled these two criteria but the most of the results have an extraordinary high debt. It's very risky to buy stocks with large amounts of debt because debt owners got money before share owners. If there should develop some trouble, the dividends must keep flat or needed to reduce.

Stocks from the basic material sector as well as telecoms are the dominating categories. But there are also some good names on the list like Williams Partners or Altria.

 

Here is the full table with some fundamentals:

Take a closer look at the full list. The average P/E ratio amounts to 17.72 and forward P/E ratio is 14.01. The dividend yield has a value of 6.46 percent. Price to book ratio is 3.13 and price to sales ratio 1.63. The operating margin amounts to 17.39 percent and the beta ratio is 0.85. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 1.37.
