The Dogs of the Eurostoxx 50 2007

link to new Dogs of the Eurostoxx 50 2008

We, the people, love dividends. We like them because we always have to work and at least when we invest we want to see money flow on our bank accounts without having to work for once. We like dividends because we trust companies that are able to pay cash year after year. The Dogs of the Dow are well known. They are the 10 stocks that deliver the best dividends among the 30 stocks that are included in famous Dow Jones Industrial Average. But there are dogs also outside USA. Here I present a nice table of the Dogs of the Eurostoxx 50, which is the index of 50 most important companies. The Dogs are the best 10 dividend payers.

The Dogs of the €urostoxx 50 1/1/2007
*Stock*	*Yield*	*dividend*	*price*	*p/E*	*52-Week change*
Telecom Italia	6,1%	€0,14	€2,29	13,5	–6,9%
ENEL	5,6%	€0,44	€7,82	15,3	+17,8%
Deutsche Telekom	5,2%	€0,72	€13,84	14,4	-1,7%
France Télécom	4,8%	€1	€21,05	11,6	+0,3%
ABN Amro	4,5%	€1,10	€24,35	10,5	+10,2%
Eni	4,3%	€1,10	€25,48	9,7	+8,8%
Fortis	3,6%	€1,16	€32,31	10	+20,2%
ING	3,5%	€1,18	€33,59	9,8	+14,6%
Société Générale	3,5%	€4,50	€128,60	10,4	+23,8%
Telefónica	3,4%	€0,55	€16,12	13,5	+27,1%

I want to buy all of them, but I will stick to my rule about buying just one stock every month.

I think that in February I will buy th third, Deutshe Telekom, because I already have Telecom Italia and ENEL in my Portfolio.

looks risky… forecasts for some of these companies aren’t very good. the communications companies are increasingly facing difficulties keeping investors happy.

It is similar to the Dog of the Dow strategy. You can offset that risk investing in all 10 dogs of Eurostoxx and also in all 10 Dogs of the Dow. You can find the dogs of the Dow list on: http://www.dogsofthedow.com/dogs2007.htm

The strategy is precisely centered on the fact that those companies have reached such high dividend yields because they are not loved by the market so their stock price goes down, while their dividends usually remain unchanged. This is how the dividend/price ratio usually goes up.

If you want high dividend yields from very large companies, you can’t look for them in companies whose shares skyrocketed like Google. They don’t even need to pay a cent to attract investors!

That those are 10 of the 30 largest European companies, they can’t all go wrong! I think I will go for it, will enjoy the dividends and hope some will also please me with some nice capital gain.

I would prefer to just buy a Eurostox SelDividend Indexfund instead of that strategy.

The Selection Mechanism is a bit more sophisticated, the Basis is the entire stoxx 600 and you save Time and Transaction Costs.

the ETF you are referring to is probably the (IDVY) iShares DJ EuroSTOXX Select Dividend.

It is very interesting.

You are right, transaction costs may be lower buying one ETF than buying 10 stocks. On the other hand you have to pay a small yearly commission on the ETF and no commission on stocks. Do you know what commission does your ETF propose?

I will maybe buy the ETF you mention on my monthly investment next month.

Thanks for your advise!

Albert, dividends are a bit tricky. Sometimes financial sites take dividend amount for previous year, sometimes they update it when a new dividend amount is decided by boards, sometimes they don’t. You have to do some research on a company before you buy it to know what kind of dividend you may expect.

Anyway, I found my data on Yahoo finance:
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cp?s=%5ESTOXX50E checking one by one all dividends

I did try to look for your data on Bloomberg, but on their horrible website I can never find anything. Do you have a link?

deminvest

January 11, 2008

I did some research about ENEL. The board hasn’t yet decided the exact dividend for 2008, so financial sites can only guess.

Since Enel bought Spanish Endesa this year, Yahoo did bet that the dividend may be lower. I found on a December 2007 CNN article that “Enel intends to pay an annual dividend of at least 0.49 eur per share” on http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/newstex/AFX-0013-21865300.htm
this would mean that Bloomberg should be right. Enel’s Yield should be around 6%, but nobody can be sure of the exact dividend for Enel in 2008, because it was not decided yet.

Seems like these stocks didn’t do very good during the economic turmoil.

deminvest

January 14, 2010

Actually a real disaster, specially the 4 banks:

Telecom Italia from 2.29 to 1.05
Enel from 7.82 to 4.15
Deutche Tlekom from 13.84 to 10.12
France Telecom from 21.05 to 17.44
ABN Amro has been bought out fortunately, otherwise would be close to 0
Eni from 25.48 to 18.1
Fortis was destroyed by banking crysis: it went from 32.31 to 2.73
ING: 33.59 to 11.02
Société Générale: 128.6 to 50.44
Telefonica: 16.12 to 18.58

I lost EUR 243 on Deutsche Bank, lost EUR 347 on Enel, lost EUR 412 on Telecom Italia.

Dogs strategy prove horrible. Same happened with the Dogs of the Dow.

The reason is that dogs yield such high dividends because they are large established companies, that see their stock value decrease because their business is a bit deteriorated, or they make too much debt. This kind of companies can recover well in good times, but can go nearly broken on difficult times.
