Cheaply valuated stocks below its own book value originally published atlong-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love it to look for high quality dividend stocks with a proven long-term track record but one thing I often noticed in my research is that the market gets more and more expensive. But if you would like to make a solid return, you definitely need cheap stocks.

With low yields, the valuation rises in an inflationary environment. That's the key premise in our economy.

Today I would like to try my best to discover some of the best dividend growth stocks with a current cheap valuation. I use two criteria for screening the Dividend Achievers database: A forward P/E below 15 as well as a price to book ratio below one.

A company that is cheaper priced than the accounted book value transmits signals of an undervaluation and gives potential investors a margin of safety.

Exactly 17 dividend growth stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria. Eight of them got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. The yields are between 0.95 and 2.91 percent. That's not much in my view but growth forecasts are positive for all of the results.

Here is the full table with some fundamentals:

Price to book ratio is 2.07 and price to sales ratio 0.64. The operating margin amounts to 8.97 percent and the beta ratio is 0.98. Stocks from the list have an average debt to equity ratio of 0.66.
