Dividend Growth Stock Compilation Of The Past Week

Readers of this space know that the primary focus of my dividend portfolio is to create ever-increasing income money machine by investing in dividend growth securities.

A slew of mixed earnings reports were released over the past week. Investor sentiment remains particularly fragile with uncertainty related to the U.S. Presidential election and the future trajectory of interest rates and global monetary stimulus. 

These factors were enough to nudge the S&P 500 Index slightly lower on the week, even despite dozens of dividend stocks increasing their dividend payouts or just their payments to shareholders.

As a savvy investor, I always make a note of companies that recently raised their dividends. I do this for two reasons:

- First, I like to stay as informed as possible. 
- Second, a dividend hike may introduce me to a company that I’ve never heard of or researched before, giving me the opportunity to learn about the company, dig deeper into its financials, and maybe even become a shareholder. 

With all of this in mind, let’s take a look at 40 big companies that have raised their dividends during the past week.

Here is the compilaton of the 40 latest dividend raiser...

13 Industrials With Low Dividend Payouts And Little Debt To Boost Shareholder Values

Industrial dividend stocks with low dividend payout ratios and small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Every corporation with small amounts of debt has a better flexibility to grow faster than other stocks with a similar size in the same industry. Corporate debt is a major source to boost growth without issuing new shares.

I’m a real dividend growth investor and I ever look for stocks that pay in 10 years a dividend that is twice as big as today. That’s the reason why I always look beside the growth possibilities also at the dividend payout and debt figures. A company with little debt, high cash and low dividend payouts has much to offer for current shareholders.

Today I would like to screen the industrial sector by stocks with low debt figures and dividend payouts. I selected only those stocks with a 20 percent dividend payout and a debt to equity ratio of less than 0.2.

Only thirteen stocks fulfilled these two criteria of which ten have a current buy or better ratio. The results are dominated by lower capitalized stocks. Only five have a market cap over a billion dollar.

Industrial Dividend Stocks With Highest Performance And Still Cheap Price Ratios

Industrial dividend stocks with highest performance year-to-date originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Warren Buffett likes industrials, not as much as consumer or healthcare stocks, but he owns a few players from the sector. I personally own some good names from the Dividend Champions list and be happy that I have purchased them a few years before.

Today I would like to screen the investment sector by the best performing dividend stocks since the beginning of the year. Below is a detailed view on cheapest results.

The 20 industrial dividend stocks with highest year-to-date performance generated a return between 37.67 percent and 129.11. Small and mid-cap stocks are the performance driver of the year. 13 of the results have a market capitalization below USD 2 billion.

The whole sector is up 13.8 percent over the recent six month, the third best value on the capital market. I believe that stocks with a good stock performance are healthy. Capital investors are confident about the future prospects of the company and they like to pay a higher price to participate on the future of the business.

Not all of the best performing stocks are now expensive. 13 of the results have a low forward P/E and 10 are currently recommended to buy.

Industrial Dividend Stocks With Highest Float Short Ratio

Dividend Stocks From The Industrial Sector With Highest Short Float Ratio Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The industrial sector is a highly developed part of the economy with very cyclic forms. At the stock markets are 354 companies linked to the sector with a total market capitalization of USD 47.9 trillion. The average sector yield amounts to 2.46 percent and the average P/E ratio is 12.71. The highest dividend paying industries are Cement and Manufacturing Housing.

I screened the sector by dividend stocks with the highest amount of short selling stocks, measured by the float short ratio. The ratio shows how many stocks are shorted by investors. Companies with a high ratio of float short have a little upside potential if investors need to close their short position. Nine dividend stocks from the industrial goods sector have a float short ratio of more than 10 percent.
