My favorites are low leveraged stocks.
I believe that those companies could give investors a solid chance of further dividend
hikes. If not, they could boost growth without capital increases. I do not own any
stocks from the screen. I'm annoyed not to buy some Disney shares. Last year, I
bought stocks from its rivals Hasbro and Mattel because of the higher yield and
lower P/E. They performed well but Disney beats this return despite the fact that
the current dividend yield is still low and below the two percent mark.
