Dividends And Growth Combined: 5 Top Stock Picks That Could Outperform The Market

Who’s not dreaming about a long-term orientated portfolio that increases in value and pays you each year a higher dividend that beats inflation? I do!

The good think is that it's possible to create such a big income source with small money. I've also created a virtual portfolio with income focus in order show how dividend growth investing can look like.

Back to my daily stock idea that I often publish on this blog. I've created some ideas what stocks delivered good returns in the past and can also possibly outperform the overall market within the next years. It’s a combination of growth and dividends. These are my main criteria:

- Market cap is greater than $100 million.
- Dividend yield is greater than the dividend yield of the industry.
- The payout ratio is less than 100%.
- Past 5 years dividend growth rate is bigger than the dividend growth of the industry.
- Average annual earnings growth estimates for the next 5 years is greater than 10%.
- Past 5 years EPS growth is greater than the average industry value.

Attached are my five favorite picks with more fundamentals. The screen delivered some more results like the luxury brand company Coach, the German industrial conglomerate Siemens or the home improvement stock Leggett & Platt.

These are my favorite stocks in detail:
