5 Top International Dividend Stocks
0.35%June 13 | MyPlanIQ portfolio symbol P_37703

International Dividend stocks. His selection has four European and one Brazilian stock. With the debt worries in the Eurozone having a downward pressure on stocks, this may seem like a risky move. However, it may be possible to find stocks that will continue perform well -- especially if they have worldwide exposure.

Alex's selections are shares you can buy directly on the NYSE and that pay a yield well in excess of that on the S&P 500.

  • Sanofi (SNY)    France / Pharmaceuticals    4.7%
  • CRH (CRH)    Ireland / Construction Materials    4.8%
  • ABB (ABB)    Switzerland / Heavy Electrical Equipment    3.4%
  • Companhia Siderurgica Nacional (SID)    Brazil / Steel    8.4%
  • Credit Suisse (CS)    Switzerland /Diversified Capital Markets    3.1%

These are major companies that are in different markets. There is no reason that they shouldn't have international markets -- I would think that CRH is the one that is most likely to serve more local customers.This is an interesting selection and worthy of comparison with our broadly diversified dividend bearing ETF portfolio. It will be interesting to see how they compare with our reference dividend bearing ETF portfolio.
