15 Fastest Growing And Attractively Valueated Dividend Growth Stocks

Growth is very important for long-term investors. It doesn't make much sense to buy a stock and pay 20 times of earnings when growth is zero.

Today's stock markets are irrational valuated but you must pay this price if you don't get hurt by potential inflation.

Today I've created a small compilation of mid-term and long-term dividend growers with great sales growth over the past five years (over 10 percent annually). In addition, they have a low forward P/E as well as double-digit earnings growth forecasts for the next five years.

The list contains 15 stocks of which half are large capitalized and ten are recommended to buy.
