Low Debt Dividend Stocks

Do you prefer stocks that offer both dividend income and the real possibility of capital gains? We began by screening for low-debt dividend stocks: those paying dividend yields above 1%, with sustainable payout ratios below 50%, and debt-to-equity ratios below 0.1. Then we screened for bullish sentiment from institutional investors, with significant net institutional purchases over the last quarter representing at least 5% of share float. This indicates that institutional investors such as hedge fund managers and mutual fund managers, who often have more sophisticated market data on hand than main street investors, expect these names to outperform.

Do you think money managers are making the right call on these dividend paying stocks? Use this list as a starting-off point for your own analysis. American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO), Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF), Duff & Phelps Corporation (DUF), DeVry, Inc. (DV), KBW Inc. (KBW) and Quality Systems Inc. (QSII).
