Within the investment scene, growth is a wonderful item for wealth creating. I personally like growth stocks especially when they pay good dividends and the board let grow them too. But growth is not an easy solution. A company creates only values, if it grows with a higher profitability: When the return on investments are high enough, shareholders will benefit from the company’s successful expansion too.
On the first day of each
month I create a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying
stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from
that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1
billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are
traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq
Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by
dividend yield.
Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100
