Top Stocks Going Ex Dividend in August 2022

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.

Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.

This technique generally works in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but during bear markets, you may want to consider avoiding this strategy. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until on or after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million. Some of the stocks have yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount, and the annual yield.

Intel Corporation (INTC)8/4/20220.3653.63%
MetLife, Inc. (MET)8/8/20220.503.29%
Starbucks Corporation (SBUX)8/11/20220.492.37%

Debt Free Stocks Below Cash per Share & Paying Dividends

by Fred Fuld III

It may be hard to believe that with so many stocks selling at recently very high levels, that there are actually stocks that not only sell below book value but also sell below cash per share. In addition, some of these stocks have little or no debt. Plus a few of these even pay dividends.

What selling below cash means is that if the company were to go out of business today, assuming the inventory, buildings, real estate, machinery, patents, and other assets were totally worthless, there would still be enough cash to distribute to all shareholders at an amount higher than the current stock price.

Here is a list of debt free stocks, selling below cash per share, and all have been paying dividends. .

Company Symbol Mkt Cap Yield Business
DallasNews DALN 35M 9.84% Publishing
Communications Systems JCS 25M 1.94% Tech
Eneti NETI 261M 0.59% Shipping
Retail Value RVI 66M 19.08% REIT

Just remember, these stocks are selling at a low price and have very low market caps for a reason, and are extremely speculative. In addition, high dividend payouts can be a red flag, and companies can stop paying dividends at any time.

No recommendations are expressed or implied. Do your own due diligence.

What’s With These Super High Yields? 25% !!!

by Fred Fuld III

If you look through the high yield stocks that are extracted by stock screeners, you will notice that there are some outrageously high yields, some more than 25%; but are they genuine high yields? You will also find that different screeners come up with different results. So let’s look at some of the high yield dividend stocks.

Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (ORC) is a specialty finance company that invests in residential mortgage-backed securities in the United States. The stock pays monthly dividends and currently has a yield of 15.45%. It trades at 5.7 times trailing earnings and has a market capitalization of $505 million.

Frontline Ltd. (FRO) is a shipping company involved in the seaborne transportation of crude oil and oil products. The stock has a yield of 25.22% and has a price to earnings ratio of 5.67. The market cap is 1.57 billion.

Cornerstone Strategic Value Fund (CLM), Inc. is a closed-ended equity mutual fund that yields 16.6%, trades at 8.86 time trailing earnings, and has a market cap of $899 million. Dividends are paid monthly.

Rules for Investing in Very High Yield Stocks

1. Check the consistency in the number of payments per year.
2. Check the consistency in the amount of the dividend from quarter to quarter.
3. Check to make sure the dividend payment doesn’t include capital gains.
4. Check to make sure the yield isn’t generated by a special high year-end distribution.
5. Check to make sure that the dividends don’t exceed the stock’s earnings per share.
6. Check to make sure that your stock information provider is calculating the correct yield.

Top Dividend Stocks Under $10 per Share

by Fred Fuld III

The advantage of owning dividend stocks is that your invested capital is being returned while you are waiting for the share price to appreciate. Dividends also can add some stability to the stock price.

Even though it really doesn’t make any difference what the price of s stock is, owning a low priced stock gives investors a psychological benefit. (“A $5 stock only has to go up by $1 and I’ve made 20%.”) Plus, lower priced stocks are accessible to more investors. After all, how many investors can afford 100 shares of Amazon?

What happens if you add the two together, a low price and dividends? There are actually around 360 stocks that fit those categories, assuming yields of at least 2%. However, if you narrow it down to the stocks with the top fundamentals, there are actually eight stocks that fit into that category.

The fundamentals that are considered include:

  • P/E ratio below 15
  • Forward P/E below 15
  • Price to Earnings Growth Ratio of less than one
  • Price Sales Ratio less than one
  • Yield over 2%

For example, the office supplies company, ACCO Brands (ACCO), sells for less than $9 per share, and trades at 7.5 times trailing earnings and 6.4 times forward earnings. It sports a favorable  0.75 price to earnings growth ratio and an excellent 0.44 price/sales ratio. The latest quarterly earnings growth was 21.2% year-over-year. The yield is 2.87% and dividends are paid quarterly.

Another example is the chemical company, Valhi (VHI), based in Dallas, Texas, which yields 3.43% and trades for less than $3 per share. The stock has an extremely low P/E ratio of 2.3, and Forward P/E of 2.8.

The following is a list of the various stocks that match the previously described fundamentals.

Company Symbol Market Cap P/E Price
ACCO Brands Corporation ACCO 866.73M 7.52 8.35
BGC Partners, Inc. BGCP 2.82B 9.46 6.11
Ford Motor Company F 35.07B 6.08 8.82
Manning & Napier, Inc. MN 33.90M 1.77 2.26
Comp. Siderurgica Nacional SID 3.34B 3.65 2.64
Telefonica, S.A. TEF 44.18B 11.83 8.79
Unique Fabricating, Inc. UFAB 52.72M 10.15 5.52
Valhi, Inc. VHI 794.11M 2.3 2.33

Please note that many of these stocks have very low market caps and should be considered very speculative.

Like Dividend Stocks? Check Out the Aristocrats

by Fred Fuld III

Many investors prefer dividends. Yet, just because a stock pays a dividend does not make it a good stock. But if a company has been raising dividends, and raising them on a consistent basis, it probably means that the company has been doing something right.

A Dividend Aristocrat takes this concept to the extreme. It is a stock that has increased its dividend every year for at least the last 25 years.

One of the Aristocrat leaders is Proctor & Gamble (PG) which has increased its dividend over 61 years.

At 3.76%, the yield is fairly high, compared to a bank savings account, a certificate of deposit, or a money market fund.

Other well-known companies that fall into this elite category are the following:
Coca-Cola (KO) 55 years
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) 55 years
Lowe’s (LOW) 55 years
Colgate Palmolive (CL) 54 years
Target (TGT) 50 years
PepsiCo (PEP) 45 years

If you had bought any of these stocks ten or twenty or 30 years ago, and reinvested the dividends, your yield based on your original investment would be enormous.
