10 High-Yielding Small Caps For A Portfolio Return Boost

I'm a big fan of large capitalized stocks because most of them offer a huge diversification. But the great lack of bigger companies is that they do not grow at a fast pace. I'm not talking about Apple, those are exceptions.

The reason is simple: a company with a market cap of $500 million will simply have more room to grow than a company with a market cap of $50 billion. If it makes it to $1 billion, and you've invested, you double your money; if the large cap company adds $500 million to its market cap, you've only made 1%.

Today I would like to introduce 10 stocks with a yield higher than 3% and P/E valuations in an acceptable area while the market capitalization doesn’t reach the 2 billion levels.

These are my results:

Seadrill Partners -- Yield: 17.73%

Seadrill Partners’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounts to $628.90 million. The EBITDA margin is 59.09% (the operating margin is 45.82% and the net profit margin 39.03%).

Financials: The total debt represents 50.60% of Seadrill Partners assets and the total debt in relation to the equity amounts to 689.16%. Due to the financial situation, a return on equity of 35.07% was realized by Seadrill Partners.

Twelve trailing months earnings per share reached a value of $2.26. Last fiscal year, Seadrill Partners paid $1.68 in the form of dividends to shareholders.
