5 Higher Yielding Growth Picks With Acceptable Price Ratios

I've recently published an article about stocks that combined dividends and growth. The article introduced five picks with attractive fundamentals but the yield ratios were really low.

Today I would like to fix this lack by showing you some higher yielding stocks with great earnings growth forecasts. 

In addition, the valuation could not be cheap because of the higher growth rates but they should be acceptable. These are my criteria in detail:

- Dividend Yield - Over 4%

- Payout Ratio - Under 100%

- Sales growth Past 5 years - Over 10%

- EPS growth Past 5 years - Over 10%

- EPS growth next 5 years - Over 10%

- Trailing P/E - Under 25

- Forward P/E - Under 20

3 Potential Dividend Champions With High Yields And 10 Additional To Consider

Today I've created a small list of stocks with high dividend yields (over five percent) that are close to become a Dividend Champion in the upcoming years. Those stocks have raised dividends over more than 25 years in a row.

Dividend Growth is King

When you read my blog for a longer time, you should know that dividend growth is the key of a successful dividend investing.

In a non-performing market, dividends contribute 100 percent to the total performance or they can reduce their losses.

In my view, dividends are good enough to generate a solid cash income when the market suffers.

Over the past five years, this strategy failed because of the high intention of the Federal Reserve to reduce the unemployment via money printing. As a result, stock markets more than doubled in the most countries of the world and equities got very expensive.

Dividend yields of the best dividend paying stocks declined also by a few percentage points and investors often don't get a compensation for inflation now.

What we need are higher yielding stocks, but those are also more risky and sometimes overloaded with debt.

I've attached a list of the highest yielding potential dividend Champions. Only 13 companies with a consecutive dividend growth history of 10 to 25 years have a current dividend yield above the 5 percent ratio.

15 Dividend Contenders With Over 20% Return on Equity and Return on Investment

Dividend growth stocks with very high returns on equity and returns on investment originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. A solid investment delivers also solid returns over the time. Dividend growth is not the only criteria for a good investment. There are also many dividend growth stocks outside with low or negative return on investments and return on equity ratios.

Today I screened the Dividend Contenders Database by stocks with high return ratios. I fixed the 20 percent level in order to get the best results.

Only 15 companies fulfilled both, a return on equity as well as a return on investment over 20 percent. The difference between those two ratios is that the return on investment does not include the leverage effect. A corporate with high debts will automatically generate high returns on equity. The second ratio is a performance measure that looks only at the investment by dividing the investment return by the costs of the investment.

One High-Yield is below the results and 10 stocks got a buy or better rating by brokerage firms. Leverage is the key for high returns in my screen. As you might see in the attached sheet, the debt ratios are modestly high but in the end, the investor will pay a higher price for a leveraged company.

15 High Yielding Stocks Close To New 52-Week Highs

High Yield Large Caps quite below new 52-Week Highs originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I’m not a momentum trader who seeks the hottest investment opportunities over the short run. I am looking for high quality dividend paying stocks that hike cash payments to shareholders each year and plan to continue this for decades. For sure, there are not many corporate that can manage this need. Only 15 stocks or so have achieved to rise dividends year over year for more than 50 years.

I also look at stocks at new highs. I believe that it’s a good sign when the stock is near all time highs or close to new 52-Week Highs. Something must run well right and investors gift trust to the corporate. You should definitely care about a solid valuation and avoid it to buy stocks with higher P/E’s.

Today I would like to present you some higher capitalized High Yields that are a few percentage points below new 52-Week Highs. It should be possible that these stocks can hit new highs in the near future.

Only fifteen stocks with more than USD 2 billion market capitalization are traded close to new highs and twelve of them got a current buy or better rating by investment firms. Two companies have a double-digit dividend yield.

Cheap Dividend Contenders with high growth and buy ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com.
