The Best Growing Consumer Goods Companies With Highest Dividend Yield Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Stocks from the consumer goods sector are characterized by low volatility and stable dividends, but they also have a slow growth especially due to the aftereffects of the financial and debt crises.
I made a screen of the sector by the best yielding stocks with highest expected growth for the next five years. I decided to select only stocks whose earnings per share are expected to grow by more than 10 percent for the next five years and their dividend yields are above 3 percent. Exactly thirteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which three are high yields. Eight stocks are recommended with a buy or better rating.
