Here are some notable stocks for the trading day of March 28th 2013. As usual not all of these stocks are dividend paying stocks but they are very relevant to be noted.
Deckers Outdoor corp.-symbol:DECK is trading at 55.94 up 6.53% on the day. Jefferies Group boosted their target price to $100 per share. Other investment groups had notably increased the target price on this stock as well. Current EPS is at 3.62 with a P/E Ratio of 15.50 good things could be in store for Deckers Outdoor corp if they continue to earn more and more money. I just wish they had a dividend payment and I'd be in.
Research in Motion Ltd - symbol: BBRY most everyone has seen the struggle of the blackberry phone but surprisingly they were able to show profit in the 4th quarter of 2012. The stock is currently trading at 14.87 and up 2.08% on the day. Their current EPS is in the negative at -1.62 but still in some places in the world this is the best phone manufacturer around. Many business people still love their blackberries but how long will that last. They come out with new phones but always seem to be a generation behind. Research in Motion Ltd is not a company I will be buying into soon.
Lawson Products, Inc - symbol: LAWS currently trading at 17.76 and up 6.16% on the day. It's been almost a year since their last dividend payment but that was 12 cents per share. Their EPS is at -8.13 but investors seem to be interested. This is one of those stocks that you should really do all the research you can on before buying. Lawson Products, Inc is a North American distributor of products issued to the commercial, institutional, industrial and more business sectors. They need to make more money and have a dividend issued every quarter before I'm going to be jumping on board to buy this stock.
W.W. Grainger, Inc - symbol: GWW a company that I personally once worked for is now trading at 223.94 and up 0.87% on the day. They are an excellent company and highly driven to profit. They have a dividend but the dividend yield is pretty low at just 1.43% but this company has more to offer than a dividend. If you look closely into the business you will see that they do whatever possibly to make as much money as possible. Recently they shipped jobs over to Panama to save cash, these types of move may upset workers but they make the company more profitable. There current EPS is at 9.51 per share and they currently have a P/E Ratio at 23.54 seems like this could be a good long term play. Make sure to do all your own research before investing because the way they do business might not suit your portfolio.
Fastenal Company - symbol: FAST currently trading at 51.05 up 1.00% on the day has a very low dividend yield at just 0.78% but there is more to look at then just their dividends as with other previously mentioned companies. There EPS is also low at just 1.42 per share with a P/E Ratio that also doesn't look good 36.07 but the numbers alone don't tell the whole story. The future may be bright for Fastenal stock but again this is one of those dividend paying stocks that probably won't pay your bills. If you are investing in this one you are probably looking for some growth so you can see nice capital gains.
Facebook, Inc - symbol: FB currently trading at 25.60 this could be thought of as a risky stock. Obviously Facebook is huge but they have seen troubles turning a profit lately. Their current EPS is at 0.01 with a P/E Ratio at 1733.57 which is not good. If you are investing in Facebook stock you must believe that they will find a way to generate more money. I can't say that I like their idea of charging people a dollar to send a message to someone out of their network area. I really feel like that is going to turn users to look for other social media options. At this point in time I think I will be staying away from Facebook stock until I see real profits and a dividend that makes me want to stick with it.
Las Vegas Sands corp - symbol: LVS is currently trading at 56.23 and down -0.16% on the day. Las Vegas Sands corp is a designer of luxury destinations such as resorts, gaming and high class entertainment along with much more. They are currently giving a 2.49% dividend yield but that is subject to change. The current EPS for LVS is 1.85 which gives them a P/E Ratio of 30.39 which isn't the greatest. Overall I think we could find a better time to buy into this company but I do like what they do as a company. Maybe if the dividend yield was higher and the P/E Ratio was much lower I'd be buying but now right now.
Remember to always do your own research and invest at your own risk. These are just stock ideas from an investor I am not an analyst or a broker I just like to invest and research stocks. Good luck to anyone in their pursuit of dividend paying stocks. There is no better feeling that knowing you can pay your bills with your dividend payments.
