16 Inexpensive Latin America Stocks With Good Dividends

Today I'm filtering for Latin America stocks that pay reasonable dividends and trade on the US market.

It’s a hopeful region to seek for growth. If you have no idea where to find good yields in your own country, you could start to look aboard. But be careful, foreign stocks have higher risks because of additional currency risk and the often small diversified companies they represent.

My criteria
:
- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion
- Positive Dividend Yield
- Forward P/E below 15
