TV, movies, and theme parks – we humans love to be entertained, and we greatly reward those who entertain us. We found 3 dividend stocks who capitalize on this endless fascination, which may be some of the best stocks to buy in 2012 for undervalued growth and income within the Cable/Film/Broadcasting Industry:

Valuations: Compiling Industry Averages is a bit messy for these firms – although they all operate within the Cable TV industry, and Disney (DIS) and Viacom (VIA.B) also are active in the film industry. Viacom and Time Warner Cable (TWC) currently look quite undervalued on a PEG basis, while Disney is very near the 1.00 undervalued PEG threshold. TWC also looks undervalued on a cash basis – its Price/Free Cash/Share is only 3.15 vs. the 10.05 industry average .

Covered Calls: Even though Disney’s next annual ex-dividend date isn’t until December, you can create your own much higher

If you’re looking for dividend paying stocks with growth at reasonable values, the Tech sector may offer some of the best stocks to buy in 2012. The Tech sector rose just 1.03% in 2011, in spite of increasing earnings by over 18%.

We noted in last week’s article that the industrial sector has one of the lowest sector PEGs for the next fiscal year, trailing only tech and the dreaded financials sector. We went looking for some more attractive dividend paying stocks in this sector, with a focus on finding the best stocks for growth, valuation, financial metrics and high options yields:

Covered Calls: Although these aren’t high dividend stocks, you can earn a much higher income from them, by combining their dividend yields with high call options yields.

Note how these call options pay up to 11 times more than the dividends during these 4-5 month trades.

Although it trails the NASDAQ and the RUSSELL 2000 small caps, the Dow is also nearly even with the S&P 500 since the start of the March 2009 rally.

There are a few DOW dividend stocks with good metrics, that offer low betas and are subsequently less volatile than the market, but which also offer attractive dividends.

We keep hearing about how cheap many Dow dividend stocks have become during this correction. Just how cheap are they? Exxon (XOM) and AT&T (T), often touted as some of the best stocks to buy for dependable dividends income, are both hovering near or below their historic 5-year P/E lows. AT&T also looks cheap on a Price/Book basis, whereas Exxon has a history of commanding a higher price than many of its oil majors peers:

Dividends: Exxon increased its quarterly dividends in Q2 2011 to $.47/share from $.44, and AT&T increased its dividend to $.43 in Q1 2011, from $.42. T’s 5-year dividend growth rate is above industry avgs., while XOM’s is slightly below. However, XOM has also historically allocated a great deal of capital to share buybacks.

AT&T is listed in the Telecoms section of our High Dividend Stocks By Sector Tables.

Since this sector has lagged the market in 2011, rising less than 5% thus far, we thought that there might be some overlooked dividend paying stocks that offer some growth potential also.

The Dividend Aristocrats are often mentioned when researching dividend paying stocks, as being some of the most dependable dividend stocks, in terms of steady dividend growth. This week, we looked at the 3 highest dividend paying stocks in this group: Century Link, (CTL), Pitney Bowes, (PBI), and Eli Lilly, (LLY), all of whom are listed in our High Dividend Stocks by Sector Tables.

Uranium stocks have had a meltdown in the wake of the Japanese nuclear reactor emergency, causing one of the major players to shed over 30% of its market value in March. We’re talking about Cameco, (CCJ), which produces nearly 16% of the world’s uranium, second only to Kazatomprom, a state-owned producer in Kazakhstan.

Cameco’s CEO states, in a video on their website, that Japan will probably only impact the company’s sales by about 3 to 5%, and that this should be offset by greater Japanese consumption during the coming rebuild. He also points out that the impacted reactor is 40 years old, and that the new plants being built around the world have higher safety specs than the older plants. There are 53 reactors currently under construction and, by 2019, 91 new reactors (net) are forecast to come on line. Most of this new build is being driven by rapidly
