19 Dividend Growth Stocks With Potential To Double Payouts

Dividend stocks can be the foundation of a great retirement portfolio. Not only do the payments put money in your pocket, which can help hedge against any dips in the stock market, they're usually a sign of a financially sound company.

Dividends also give investors a painless opportunity to reinvest in a stock, thus compounding gains over time. 

 However, not all income stocks live up to their full potential. They give only a small part of their cash potential back to shareholder. This might have different reasons like growth opportunities, debt payback and many more.

Today I like to introduce a few dividend growth stocks with very low dividend payout ratios, low price multiples and small debt burden as well. Each of the stock has a potential to grow earnings for the next years.

Attached you will find 19 of stocks with payout ratios currently below 30% that could potentially double their dividends.

Warren Buffett Adds Surprisingly These 6 Dividend Stocks To His Portfolio

Warren Buffett is one of the most respected investors in the whole world. What he buys and sells let money follow to his ideas.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. disclosed a stake in Apple Inc., betting that the technology company will rebound after a slump driven by a slowdown in iPhone sales.

Berkshire held 9.81 million Apple shares as of March 31, according to a regulatory filing Monday from the billionaire’s Omaha, Nebraska-based company.

The holding was valued at $1.07 billion at the end of the first quarter. Attached you will the all dividend stock buys from the past quarter, made by Buffett. Apple was definitely the biggest move he made within the latest quarter.

The Apple stock is not a typical investment for the old-school investor but Warren said that the iPhone maker developed more to a consumer company than a technology stocks. He might be right if you look at the consumer focused products the company is making and the big i-store sales.

These are Warren Buffett's latest dividend stock buys from the past quarter...

My Favorite Dividend Growth Stocks With Yields Over 4%

Finding a quality dividend stock these days trading at an attractive value and yielding more than 4% isn't easy.

With interest rates remaining low, investors have piled into dividend payers looking for a good yield, causing stock prices to rise and yields to fall.

There are still a few stocks out there worth taking a look at, though. Here are two stocks to buy with dividends yielding more than 4%.

Here are my favorites...

12 Undervalued Dividend Growth Stocks Warren Buffett Could Add To His 356 Billion Empire

Warren Buffett built his $60 billion-plus fortune by buying high-quality businesses at discounts - that's a fact. 

The Oracle of Omaha summed up his love for bargains with this quote: "Whether we're talking about socks or stocks, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down."

Today I will look at several dividend-paying businesses that are industry leaders with strong competitive advantages.

My main criteria are focussed on low price multiples like forward P/E and Free Cashflow P/E. In addition each of the stocks should have an estimated earnings outlook for the next five years of more than 5% yearly.

The market has unfairly punished all of these businesses. You can take advantage of current discounts by loading up on these high-quality businesses trading at bargain prices.
