I hate it when one of my stock holdings cut its dividends. Tesco did it recently and I will lose now 75 percent of my income from the stake.
For sure, it’s not much because the stock has only a portfolio share of around one percent but I've bought this share in hopes to get a stable output or a rising long-term dividend with low taxation.

Recently I wrote about stocks that have lower debt amounts on their balance sheets. I made this with thoughts in my mind to avoid a future dividend cut.
Today I will strengthen my criteria and tighten the focus on stocks with no debt and high cash amounts. That's the highest level of safeness every investor could reach.
I found the graphic on US Today with some interesting stocks in terms of cash and debt (look at the end of this article).
The list shows 26 U.S. stocks with no debt! There are more available on the market but those are some of the biggest and you might know them.

Cash is king and large capitalization too. I love big capitalized stocks because of their good business diversification. Those stocks have often a well diversified product portfolio and great sales teams all over the world.
Big companies also have more money for research and development and offer more money and social benefits to the best talented people in the world.

If one country or currency suffers, a different one can eliminate the problems with sales growth. No every problem can be solved so easy but investors have a better chance to make a good return.
No debt could also mean more money for shareholders (Dividends or Share Buybacks) or a higher growth. The company can invest into the future by acquisitions or product investments.
In the end, everything is a question of the ability of the management team; a good team can boost the company while a bad head can bring them down.
Below are five of my favorite stocks with no debt and high cash mountains.

No debt with low dividends is better than high yield with big loans. Not to forget, growth is also important. As I have told you earlier, only a growing business is a good business for an investor.
We are sitting on cash and don't know how to spend money, how to invest money or where to invest money.
This compilation is only a try to find new ideas, new inspirations. I look each day for new targets but mostly I came to the result that they are still too expensive.
What do you think about the names in the stock list? Do you own some of them or do you like to buy some in the near future? Please let me know some of your thoughts by leaving a comment below. Thank you.
Back to the cash stock list and their fundamentals and valuation figures. Only three of them have a P/E ratio of less than 15. Because of the debt-free restriction, we can increase the P/E limit to 20.
Now, 15 companies survived. The highest yielding stock is Coach. Maybe you've heart some of the problems with the decreasing same store sales figures. Mostly reasonable to this is the expansion of new comer, Michael Kors. He is also on the list with a forward P/E of 16.75 but pays no dividend.
Before we move forward, I have a small pleasure to you: Please share this article to friends who might be interested in this story or give us a facebook like.
Only nine stocks pay a dividend on the list. However, it's not about the dividend ratio but more over the willingness to share profits with the owner of the company fairly and the growth as well.
When we look at the earnings growth for the next five years, estimated by analysts, we can see that AVGO and Kors have the highest figurs (both over 20 percent).
Business Services companies like CTSH and FFIV are following with growth rates over 15 percent.
