Attractive Dividend Stocks From Overseas With Best Growth Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Europe is on fire. Everybody is talking about the European debt crises and the slowing growth within the Euro Area. China and the other emerging markets are trying to manage a soft-landing. However, many stocks from abroad are still attractive although investors pull back money from these countries and invested it into US-Dollar vehicles. I screened stocks from overseas with a positive dividend yield, a low debt to equity ratio of less than 0.5 as well as earnings per share growth of more than 10 percent for the upcoming five years. In order reduce the results and to select those stocks with higher safeness, I listed all companies with a beta ratio below one and a market capitalization over USD 2 billion. Fourteen stocks remained of which twelve are currently recommended to buy.
