Procter & Gamble: Long Term View

Fri, 05/07/2010 - 05:38 EDT - Seeking Alpha

Dobromir Stoyanov submits:It is volatile days like yesterday which make me happy that I am a long term dividend investor, not subject to the whims of program traders and trading errors. Relying on the consistent and growing dividends of quality dividend stocks is a sound way to make money in any market, without losing your mind.Below you could find snapshots of the time and sales of Procter & Gamble (PG) stock from the lows Wednesday. And here is the stock chart from yesterday:Compare this chart to the chart of annual dividends. The annual dividend per share has increased by an average of 11% annually, which is below the growth in earnings. An 11% growth in dividends translates into the payment doubling every almost every six and a half years. Procter & Gamble has managed to double its distributions every seven years on average since 1973. I think that Procter & Gamble is attractively valued with its low price/earnings multiple of 15, a not too high DPR. The current dividend yield is 3.10%. I would be a buyer of Procter & Gamble and other quality dividend stocks on dips.Complete Story »
