Stocks Going Ex Dividend in December 2018

Please note that this is a sister publication of WallStreetNewsNetwork ( http://WStNN.com ) and eventually everything on this site will be transferred over there. 

The following is a short list of some of the many stocks going ex dividend during the next month.

Many traders and investors use the stock trading technique called ‘Buying Dividends,’ also commonly referred to as ‘Dividend Capture.’ This is the strategy of buying stocks before the ex dividend date and selling the stock shortly after the ex date at about the same price, yet still being entitled to the dividend.

This technique generally works in bull markets and flat or choppy markets, but you need to avoid the strategy during bear markets. In order to be entitled to the dividend, you have to buy the stock before the ex-dividend date, and you can’t sell the stock until after the ex date.

The actual dividend may not be paid for another few weeks. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has compiled a downloadable and sortable list of the stocks going ex dividend in the near future. The list contains many dividend paying companies, lots with market caps over $500 million, and many with yields over 2%. Here are a few examples showing the stock symbol, the ex-dividend date, the periodic dividend amount, and annual yield.

Cinemark Holdings Inc (CNK)	12/3/2018	0.32	3.45%

Let Me Entertain You with High Yield Stocks

Do you realize that entertainment stocks have grossly underperformed the S&P 500 over the last six months? The PowerShares Dynamic Leisure & Entertainment ETF (PEJ) is down 5% for the last 180 days versus the S&P which is up about 7.5%. From a contrarian standpoint, maybe it is time to look at the entertainment industry.

One way to reduce risk when investing in this industry is to choose stocks that pay dividends, as this helps to reduce volatility and returns investors' capital faster. The list of high yield entertainment stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com has spotlighted about a dozen companies with yields ranging from 1.7% to in excess of 5%.

As an example, Regal Entertainment Group (RGC) pays investors a yield of 4.3%. This Knoxville, Tennessee company operates multi-screen theaters in 42 states. The stock trades at 23.9 time trailing earnings and 16.0 times forward earnings. Quarterly earnings were down 6.4% versus the same quarter a year ago, on an 8.5% drop in revenues, primarily due to a poor summer for ticket sales.

Another entertaining high yield stock is Shaw Communications Inc. (SJR), the cable TV company, which is also involved in telecom and programming content services. The stock has a trailing price to earnings ratio of 15.8, and a forward PE of 13.6. The yield is a very favorable 4.1%. Earnings for the latest reported quarter were down 8.4% on a 1.2% rise in revenues.

 Other high yielders include Cinemark Holdings (CNK) at a 3.0% yield and Corus Entertainment Inc. (CJREF) at 4.5%. To see a complete list of these high yield entertainment stocks, go to WallStreetNewsNetwork.com. Hopefully your portfolio will be profitable in addition to being entertaining.

High Yield Entertainment Stocks

There's no business like show business. There are many aspects to entertainment: amusement parks, motion picture production companies, theater chains, television, sports, and many other areas. Show business has always been considered inflation-proof. When people can't afford to travel to Europe or on expensive cruises, they go to the movies, an amusement park within driving distance, or just a staycation, sitting at home watching TV.

There are numerous opportunities to invest in this sector, and many of them that pay dividends in excess of 2.5%. WallStreetNewsNetwork.com recently updated its free spreadsheet database of all the high yielding entertainment stocks and notes that pay dividends, with yields approaching as much as 7%.

One example is Cedar Fair LP (FUN), with the memorable stock ticker symbol. The stock yields 2.7%, and has been paying quarterly dividends since 1988. The dividend rate was recently increased by 11.8% over last years payout rate. Revenues for the latest quarter were up 3.2%, however the company recently generated negative earnings. Since the company is structured as a limited partnership, a K-1 will be issued instead of a 1099, so more tax paperwork involved.

Regal Entertainment Group (RGC) operates a chain of movie theaters throughout the United States in mid-sized metropolitan markets and the suburbs. The company has a forward price to earnings ratio of 19.3, and pays a decent dividend of 6.7%. Earnings for the latest quarter were up an incredible 625%.

Another motion picture chain that has theaters in North and South America is Cinemark Holdings Inc. (CNK), with a forward PE of 12.6, and an extremely generous yield of 4.2%. Earnings for the latest quarter were up over 1.8%.

You can check out a list of more than a dozen entertainment stocks and notes with yields above 2%, six of which yield more than 6%, all of which can be found at wsnn.com. Some of the stocks on the list are senior notes, which trade like preferred stocks.
