Utilities With Highest Growth Forecasts And
Positive Dividend Payments Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. A sector with high dividends
and reliability dividend payments is the utility sector. If you look into this sector,
you can find only 121 companies which have a summarized market capitalization of
USD 21.89 billion. The average P/E of the sector amounts to 15.36 and the dividend
yield is around 4.34 percent.

amounts of debt. There is very capital intensive and growth needs huge cash. I made
a screen of the fastest growing stocks in terms of earnings per share over the
mid-term (next five years). In addition I observed only those companies with a market
capitalization over USD 10 billion and a positive dividend yield. Exactly 10 companies
remained of which four are currently recommended to buy.
