Seven Top Stocks Under $7 per Share All Paying Dividends

Do you like low priced stocks? I like low priced stocks. Some studies say that the returns on low priced stocks outperform higher priced stocks, and some studies say that there is no difference in returns and you have the same chance of a percentage return on a low price as a high priced stock. That being said, there is still a psychological benefit to buying a low priced stock as it seems like a better deal.

Often low priced stocks are indicative of lower quality companies. But there are alway gems in the junk. Here are several examples, all of which pay dividends.

Computer Task Group Inc. (CTG), in the business of IT solutions and staffing services company, sells for a little over $5 a share. The stock trades at 13 times trailing earnings and 15 times forward earnings. It pays a generous yield of 4.7%.

Top 9 Stocks Under $10 per Share

Investors seem to love low priced stocks, due to the fact that perceived potential gains from price movements appear to be higher than high priced stocks. After all, a ten cent rise on a one dollar stock is 10%, ten cent gain on a $10 stock is only 1%, and an increase of 10 cents on a hundred dollar stock is only one tenth of a percent.

The fact is that high priced stocks can move just as much on a percentage basis as low priced stocks. Yet investors still want the low prices.

When looking for quality low priced stocks to buy, investors generally look for several factors from a fundamental standpoint. They are:

1. The stock sells for less than $10 per share.
2. The stock has a price to earnings ratio under 20.
3. The stock has a forward P/E ratio less than 20.
4. The stock has a price to earnings growth ratio under 2.
5. The stock has no debt or low debt to equity.
6. And to top it off, the stock pays a dividend.

The following nine stocks have all these features, and deserve a closer look.

Company	Ticker	Market Cap	P/E	Price	Yield
Crown Crafts, Inc.	CRWS	84.90M	14.39	8.49	3.80%
Digirad Corporation	DRAD	104.87M	4.91	5.40	3.40%
Evolving Systems Inc.	EVOL	63.13M	16.88	5.40	8.10%
Heritage Oaks Bancorp	HEOP	291.72M	18.06	8.49	2.90%
Leju Holdings Limited	LEJU	781.03M	14.50	5.80	13.30%
Magic Software Enterprises Ltd.	MGIC	256.79M	16.23	5.68	3.30%
MiX Telematics Limited	MIXT	168.00M	11.98	5.03	3.70%
Pzena Investment Management	PZN	638.03M	18.96	9.67	1.30%
Supreme Industries Inc.	STS	129.91M	12.53	7.77	1.50%

What is interesting is that all these little gems have yields in excess of 1.25%. Keep in mind that the market cap on these companies is low. If you like interesting stock lists like this, check out many of the free stock lists at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.

3 Stocks Under $10 That Could Spike

Many stock traders, and investors also, prefer low priced stocks. Although the price of a stock really shouldn't make much difference, from a psychological standpoint, the stocks selling for under $10 a share seem like a better buy, and it also seems like potential for greater potential gains may be greater than higher priced stocks.

If you check out some of the stocks under $10 with gains recently, you would see that Great Basin Scientific, Inc. (GBSN), which closed at 2.73 on Friday, jumped by over 40% in one day! China Information Technology, Inc. (CNIT), which closed at 4.62, rose by 22%, and Euro Tech Holdings Company Limited (CLWT), which ended the day at 3.52, went up by 30% in one day.

Obviously, you can't catch every one day spikes like these, but if you choose stocks with strong earning per share growth potential over the next five years  and high sales growth, you should be able to catch one of these big movers at some point.

One stock that fits these credentials is Good Times Restaurants Inc. (GTIM), the Golden, Colorado based operator and franchiser of hamburger style drive-through restaurants. The stock closed at 7.43 a share last week. Revenues for the latest quarter soared 32.9% year-over-year. The company has only $712,000 in debt, with $11.5 million in cash, having $1.22 in cash per share.

Ariad Pharmaceuticals Inc. (ARIA) is a $1.5 billion market cap company trading for less than 8.40 per share. This Cambridge, Massachusetts company specializes in cancer treatments. Year-over-year revenues went up by 700%. Even on a quarter-by-quarter basis, revenues increased by 355% over the previous quarter, and the company's net loss dropped dramatically.

Here is one more. Health Insurance Innovations, Inc. (HIIQ) is a $66 million market cap company in the business of cloud based individual health insurance plans, and is based in Tampa, Florida. The stock closed at 8.51 per share. Quarterly revenue growth year-over-year was 67.7%. On a quarter by quarter basis, revenues have been growing steadily over the last year with an increase of 13.5% for the latest quarter. Also for the latest quarter, earnings went from a loss of $674 thousand to net income of $74 thousand. What I like about this company is that it is debt free, with $14.72 million in cash, or a $1.89 in cash per share.

Hopefully one of these low priced stocks will turn into a high priced stock for your portfolio. For other interesting stock lists like this, go to the free stock lists at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com.
