Dividend Aristocrats with low P/E's and buying recommendations originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. We all love a growing dividend and one of the most popular indices that cover the best dividend growth stocks is the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index.

The index has currently 54 constituents. My goal in this article is to show you the currently cheapest stocks from the Dividend Aristocrats Index with current buy or better ratings.

I know, it's a little bit easy to trust others work but the high-quality dividend stocks are already discovered. The only thing we must do is to screen the current valuations and market opinions.

Only twelve stocks fulfilled both, a forward P/E below 15 combined with a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. Half of the results have a projected double-digit mid-term earnings growth forecast.

I really like Dividend Aristocrats but because of the highly predictable business model and well known asset class, most of them are no longer cheap. Only eighteen stocks have an expected P/E under 15! That's only one third of the full database and only around 20 percent of all Aristocrats are recommended to buy.

Here is the full table with some fundamentals:
