I like the industry because of the high profit
margins, which corresponds at 10.20 percent and is one of the highest values in
the sector. The most known stocks are Visa (V), MasterCard (MA) and Moody’s
(MCO). Business service is often financial networked.
I made a screen of the best yielding stocks
within the business services industry. In order to reduce the huge amount of 30
dividend paying business service stocks, I selected only those with
double-digit earnings per share growth. As a result, sixteen stocks remain of
which market analysts trust in eleven companies and recommend them to buy now.
