23 Stocks With Expected Dividend Growth Over The Next 3 Months

Consecutive dividend growth measures the number of years in which the corporate has increased dividends. Everything that a company needs to do is to hike dividends each 12 months or less.

Today I will highlight some special stocks that must increase dividends within the next 3 months in order to keep its dividend grower status alive. 23 companies are on the attached list of which 12 are recommended to buy. The bad thing is that only 4 have a really attractive forward looking P/E ratio of less than 15. The market is still expensive!

15 Fastest Growing And Attractively Valueated Dividend Growth Stocks

Growth is very important for long-term investors. It doesn't make much sense to buy a stock and pay 20 times of earnings when growth is zero.

Today's stock markets are irrational valuated but you must pay this price if you don't get hurt by potential inflation.

Today I've created a small compilation of mid-term and long-term dividend growers with great sales growth over the past five years (over 10 percent annually). In addition, they have a low forward P/E as well as double-digit earnings growth forecasts for the next five years.

The list contains 15 stocks of which half are large capitalized and ten are recommended to buy.

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.

19 Cheaply Valuated Stocks With Forces To Become The Next Top Dividend Grower On The Market

Dividend growth stocks on the move to become a real long-term dividend grower originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth is a great and powerful tool for all normal and small investors to participate in a honest and passive way from the economic success of a corporate.

America is definitely the country with the highest amount of stocks that share profits with shareholders fairly. Believe me; I've seen thousands of companies all around the world where investors get robbed by management teams, lead investors or even the government.

My investment focus is on dividend growth stocks but over the recent months and years, we all have seen a significant increase in price multiples. Most of the best long-term dividend growers are valuated with a P/E of 20 or more. If you pay such high ratios, you will definitely not get a good inflation and risk-adjusted return over the long-run if you invest in a slow growing business.

Today, I try to find additional dividend stocks that are near to achieve a consecutive dividend growth history of at least five years.

Around 150 stocks are available with 4 years of dividend growth. With the next hike they could become a real Dividend Challenger. My hope is that some of them are cheaper than the older and well-established stocks.

You can find attached a list of all large capitalized stocks with a low forward price to earnings ratio of less than 15. Only 19 companies fulfilled these criteria of which nearly all (17 shares) are recommended to buy.

Technology Consulting Stock Accenture Is My Next Dividend Pick

I order to fulfill my own goal of a $3,000 dividend income by the end of the year, I purchased 20 shares of the information technology stock and IT consulting company Accenture.

Accenture pays a 2.56 percent dividend and is valuated with a current P/E of 14.93. Earnings are expected to grow by 12 percent yearly for the next five years. I think that are good ratios and the pick is a wise alternative to my current IBM stake.

Accenture also have no debt but compared to IBM, the company is less diversified but also globally positioned. More salt for the Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio.

Earnings and Dividends of Accenture

The trade resulted in investing costs of $1,459.20 and will generate around $35 annual dividend income.

--------------------------------------

For readers who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.

--------------------------------------

Over the full year, the expected dividend income amounts to $2,562. With around $26,000 in deposited cash, it’s still possible to reach the $3,000 by the end of this year. The second notice is that I need to speed-up my purchase amounts.

Portfolio Performance (Click to enlarge)

The portfolio holdings are up 7.15 percent since the date of funding and purchase. Due to the high cash values in the portfolio (more than half of the capital was not invested in average), the overall performance is only 6.69 percent. Compared to the other major indices it is a clear underperformance but in line with my strategy to purchase slowly stocks. In times of down-going markets, the strategy would create better results.

The major aim is not to make quick money on the market with hot stocks like Tesla and Facebook. The strategy is to build a passive income portfolio which should double the dividend output each ten years from alone.
