Best Dividend Stocks Based On Valuation

In today’s screen I pick out 5 dividend stocks with nice yields and low valuation based on earnings and/or book value. These companies maintain a payout ratio of less than 50% so the dividends are relatively safe. Additionally, I screen for stocks below $1.5 Billion in market value to give a good selection of smaller-sized companies that have the potential to keep growing for years to come. Finally, these 5 stocks represent 5 different sectors to give good diversification. These are some of the best dividend stocks I find in the small to mid cap segment of the stock market.

1. Homeowners Choice (HCII)
2. Navios Maritime (NM)
3. Aircastle Limited (AYR)
4. American Greetings (AM)
5. Ennis Inc. (EBF)
