Besides no one knows the implications for drug makers caused by pushed Obamacare. McDonald's Corp. : Price/Book Value = 5. LT Debt/Equity = 0.82 Dividend is not only criteria to pick up and recommend stock. Accenture Ltd. : Price/Book Value = 9.55 You must be kidding! NutriSystem Inc. (NTRI) - Dividend yield is good to be true. I suspect company will cut it. Stock is not cheap. Aaon (AAON) - General Building Materials. I would not bet on quick housing and commercial real-estate recovery. Price/Cash per share = 90.45 For energy sector why ADR Petrobras (PBR) is attractive? It is because Petrobras is foreign company? Are you ready to overpay simply to own Brazilian stock? Exxon (XOM), Chevron Corp. (CVX) are more attractive with dividend yield ~ 3%. Unilever plc (UL) is great brend. But it is ADR and investor is imposed to the counter party risk in case if ADR is not sponsored directly by Unilever. Unilever plc Price/Book Value = 4.68 Why you would not recommended Kraft Foods (KFT) or Procter & Gamble Co.(PG) instead of Unilever (UL)? They are holding better value then UL. UL ------------------- P/B 4.68 Debt/Eq 1.14 LT Debt/Eq 0.76 Dividend % 3.91% KFT ------------------ P/B 1.66 LT Debt/Eq 0.82 Debt/Eq 0.90 Dividend % 4.59% PG ----------------- P/B 2.46 Debt/Eq 0.64 LT Debt/Eq 0.34 Dividend % 3.43% Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Baker Hughes (BHI) - reasonable recommendation. Abbott Laboratories is not really cheap. Besides no one knows the implications for drug makers caused by pushed Obamacare.
