Today I would like to take a look at the recommendations from brokerage firms or analysts.
I analyzed the Dividend Challengers group (stocks with more than 5 years of consecutive dividend growth) by the current recommendations.
Seventeen of the stocks have a current strong buy rating. Attached you will find a full list with some fundamentals.
It's a little bit easier to join the club of Dividend Challengers than to be a Dividend King, Champion, Aristocrat or Contender.
Here are my favorites from the screen...
Industrial
dividend stocks with low dividend payout ratios and small debt figures
originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Every corporation with
small amounts of debt has a better flexibility to grow faster than other stocks with a
similar size in the same industry. Corporate debt is a major source to boost
growth without issuing new shares.
I’m
a real dividend growth investor and I ever look for stocks that pay in 10
years a dividend that is twice as big as today. That’s the reason why I always
look beside the growth possibilities also at the dividend payout and
debt figures. A company with little debt, high cash and low dividend payouts
has much to offer for current shareholders.
Today
I would like to screen the industrial sector by stocks with low debt figures and
dividend payouts. I selected only those stocks with a 20 percent dividend payout and
a debt to equity ratio of less than 0.2.
Only
thirteen stocks fulfilled these two criteria of which ten have a current buy or
better ratio. The results are dominated by lower capitalized stocks. Only five have
a market cap over a billion dollar.
