These 7 Dividend Growth Stocks Pay Your Investment In 9 To 13 Years Back

Companies with a very short payback are often troubled or have been highly discounted due to the market’s lack of faith in them. At the other extreme, do you really want to wait 30, 40 or 50 years to earn back your initial investment?

As a compromise, a 9 to 13 year payback should be acceptable for most long-term investors. Once you earn back your investment, some might say you are in a no-lose situation. I wouldn’t go quite that far, but you have found an investment that that has provided you a good historical revenue stream, and hopefully it will continue to do so in the future.

Attached you can find 7 dividend growth stocks with a 9 to 13 year payback (at the current yield and dividend growth rate) and a yield between 2.5% to 6.0%.

A combined portfolio delivered a total return of 25% in 2014. At the end of the article, you can find more about this fact.
