Hi guys, I'm looking at these companies for the div returns in the coming weeks, all with around 7% + :
KAM, STS, SKE, CNU, LCM, EPW

Neither haver run too hard yet, and all are well supported by the usual tipsters.

Any thoughts/comments/warnings?

Id also want potential growth.
Technically--that's how I trade.
STS*
CNU
LCM
EPW*
fit the bill for me.

Standouts *
 
Is this a short(er) time frame trading approach? If so, ignore my take. Otherwise...

None qualify for me (as yield plays). LCM out of them...but not even that one for me.

SBB growth and dividend.
A great story..

Not sure a very high risk, speculative share like SBB is a "strong dividend play". There are a lot of concerns about the viability of thios company despite the shrills pumping and dumping on various forums!

To add to the original post, NWH is potentially a good divvy investment, with growth opportunity as well.

Short or long term? Good question. A friend of mine says his strategy is to buy these kinds of stocks 6 weeks before they go ex div, then sell them the day before they go ex div. Says it works for him... me I'm not so sure, I'd rather get the dividend and stay with the stock til it bounces back. Of course, being new to the whole idea, the SP could quite easily go south ex div and never recover.

I guess you study the history of behaviour regarding past dividends, and I have a little, but couldn't establish any trend that you'd say was "predictable" with any degree of certainty. All opinions regarding the above are most welcome! cheers.
 
Four Heavyweights are trading ex-Div today: QBE, STO, TLS, WPL, plus a few smaller ones: PRY, TPI, WTP
Therefore don't be surprised if XJO does not rise quite as much as Overseas leads might suggest.

PS: This may not quite fit in with the thread's topic, but is something to consider when the Big Guns pay.
 
Anyone sniffing for stocks that are running at an improved yield with lower share price and increasing dividends Y.O.Y? Is that how it works?

All you'd need is keep track of yield over time in a (macro) spreadsheet like this:

I usually run an update once a week or so and sort by ExDate, but Excel is quite flexible.
The above has been sorted by the last yield. Note: Last Yield is calculated from the last grossed-up dividend, relative to the current share price, meaning you wouldn't want to buy the share with a high yield after ExDiv. :eek:

Thanks for that, Pixel. Suncorp stood out in that group for me.

SUN's yield was boosted by special dividends because there were little major disasters hurting their insurance.

It's as sustainable as there being no major disasters.
 
Monadelphous (MND), paid a 100% franked dividend of $1.23 which at share price of $12 is about 10%. I liked this arithmetic and bought with a long term view that the company dividend will continue increasing y.o.y. Out of favour price wise with a down trend in place.

Please advise if I have left any critical factors out.

What makes you believe this will be the case? MND is in mining services and, like any other company in the sector, will unlikely be immuned from the industry downfall.

Government has flagged infrastructure investment, resource mining consolidates but highly unlikely to fall down, forward contracts in place, diversified. Check dividends for last 10 years.


Save you a click fella.

But you are not getting the dividends from the last 10 years.

Check the most recent dividend movements (say last 3-4 payments) amongst companies in the same sector and see if there is a new trend.

I bet two of the directors wake up with grins from ear to ear every morning while holding over 2 million shares at a value of 24 million dollars.

Yes... if they ignore the fact that their shares worthed $40m back in June.

But seriously, MND is not in a sector where you should imply that dividend stability (and growth) in the past 10 years will translate well for the next 10.

Anyhow, best of luck with the position.
