Excellent Dividend Paying Stocks

Let's take a look at a couple stocks that are looking pretty good. These are a select few stocks that have been paying dividends and earning money. Please note that these may not be the greatest stocks out there but they open up your eyes to companies you otherwise might not have noticed.

AT&T symbol: T - This is one of those big name companies that has been paying a nice dividend for a while now. You have heard of them and you know how big they are but did you realize the actual percentage they have been paying lately? Their current dividend yield is 4.95% with an EPS at 1.21 the biggest problem I can see is their P/E ratio but some of that has to do with the merger with T-Mobile that went wrong. They have a 199.84 billion market cap. The last dividend they paid was 45 cents per share which is pretty good.

Coca Cola company symbol: KO - The stock currently trades for 40.12 per share with a 2.79% dividend yield. This stock currently has a 1.97 EPS with a 20.40 P/E Ratio. Coca Cola is one of those companies that dominate the industry. They are going to make as much money as they possibly can because at the top of the company sits a man named Warren Buffett. As you know when it comes to making money in the stock market nobody is smarter than Warren Buffett. If he likes it I like it generally speaking.

Walgreen company symbol: WAG - currently trading at 46.19 per share paying out a 2.38% dividend yield. They are a great company with smart and innovative ideas. They recently put together a savings card that the public actually likes! That's pretty rare because many people don't like to have to use a card. Looking at their earnings per share it is currently at 2.23 which is not so bad. The P/E Ratio is at 20.71 which is not great but is not too bad when you consider what you are getting when you buy into their company. Their market cap is 43.65 billion so they are big company with lots of room to make moves.

Walmart Stores, Inc symbol: WMT - This is the retail giant this is the stock that all other stocks want to be like. Take a look at the price of this stock only 74.85 that is cheap when you consider that the EPS is at 5.02 making the P/E Ratio 14.91 making this a deal. The dividend yield on this is 2.51% which is not on the top of the list but it's still reasonable and reliable because you already know that Walmart is going to make money. This is a huge company with a market cap of 255.84 billion making it one of the biggest companies in the world.

International  Business Machine corp. symbol: IBM - This is another giant among dividend paying stocks but it does pay a low yield at only 1.61% which is low. Taking a look at their P/E Ratio you will see that it is good at 14.62 with EPS of 14.41 and a market cap at 234.87 billion dollar market cap. You may see that they are paying a very low dividend but also they have room to grow. You are not going to find a big company like this with a much lower P/E Ratio.
