It's always good to own cheap stocks in order to gain a return.
For sure, cheapness is a question of definition and in the end it's growth that makes a stock cheap or expensive.
Each month I make a screen about the cheapest large-capitalized dividend stocks. Below are screening criteria; they are very stern in my view. I use this screen to find some attractive bargains. In a hot market it's ever harder to find low-valuated stocks with great earnings growth prospects. Especially within the recent months, the number of results decreased rapidly. Let’s see if the recent crisis had some positive effects for the screen.
My criteria for the cheap large cap screen are:
- Market capitalization over USD $10 billion
- Expected earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.
- P/E ratio under 15
- P/S and P/B ratio under 2
- Positive dividends
Thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria. It’s exactly one stock less than last month. Two high-yields are below the results and eight stocks have a current buy or better rating.
