Buying stocks can be a hard choice some people are looking for a large gain as fast as possible while others are looking for a long term income solution. Let's take a look at some companies that have been paying dividends for years.
Microsoft - symbol: MSFT has a solid dividend yield of 3.27 and currently has a 235.88 billion dollar market cap. Microsoft is a company that continues to make money time and time again even when many analysts doubt them. Their P/E ratio is fairly competitive at 15.44 as they maintain a 1.82 EPS. When you are looking to buy a dividend stock it's nice to pick one where you know they are going to keep the flow of money going. Microsoft continues to prove that they are top in the business world.
General Electric -symbol: GE has one of the best dividend payment history in the world. They currently pay a 3.27 dividend yield with a 241.66 billion dollar market cap. They are always making money currently with 1.39 EPS their P/E Ratio sits at 16.74 which is higher than I usually like to buy in but still respectable when you know they will continue to generate solid revenue.
Wells Fargo & Co - symbol: WFC is a great bet if you are looking long term they currently has a lower dividend yield than others we have noted but still okay at 2.69% They have an outstanding EPS at 3.36 per share giving them a 11.06 P/E Ratio. I've enjoyed my time investing in them and look forward to dollar cost averaging long term with this stock.
Apple Inc. - symbol: AAPL is a monster stock making monster money they are losing favor with investors and creating opportunity. Currently the stock pays a 2.29% dividend yield with an outstanding 44.10 EPs and a great 10.51 P/E ratio this looks like a dynamite stock with it's current numbers but most people predict they cannot sustain these types of numbers. How have investors fared in the past doubting this company is the question.
Intel Corporation - symbol: INTC is a company that has lost many people to the belief that they cannot compete anymore. I have been in favor of this stock all the while and have been buying on the dips. They currently have a 4.26% dividend yield with a 9.93 P/E ratio and 2.13 EPS. Looking at the future of this company you will have to believe that they need to make a few changes and find a way to dominate the markets that the doubters say they no longer can. I believe in Intel long term they have the ability to outspend their competitors on research and development.
Remember to invest with caution and at your own discretion. We are not professional investors just hobby investors.
