12 Cheapest Dividend Stocks From Canada

Everybody knows that the economy in Canada is a commodity based one and not as much shaking as the American consumer based economy. On America’s stock markets are 181 companies with a headquarter in Canada. 66 of these companies pay dividends but not all of them are already cheap.

However I’ve tried to screen the market by the cheapest Canada stocks with a listing in America. All stocks should have a current P/E ratio of less than 15, a P/S ratio of under two and a positive dividend yield. Exactly twelve companies fulfilled these criteria of which two are high yields. Six are recommended to buy.
