The Safest and Best Yielding Dividend Stocks

Stocks with low beta ratios are less volatile than the market. If they pay a good yield, could there a better investment? I made a screen of the best yielding large capitalized stocks (over USD10 billion) with a beta ratio of less than 0.5. The ratio summarizes all stocks with a share price performance that represents not more than the half performance of the market.

Exactly 45 companies fulfilled these criteria but only 18 have a yield of more than 4%. Here are my favorite stocks: Plains All American Pipelines (PAA), Altria Group (MO) and PG&E Corporation (PCG). The average price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio) amounts to 18.31 and forward P/E ratio is 15.61. The dividend yield has a value of 5.22 percent. Price to book ratio is 2.94 and price to sales ratio 2.08. The operating margin amounts to 19.34 percent.
