These Are My Favorite Long-Term Dividend Growth Stocks With Double-Digits Growth Predictions

19 Dividend Aristocrast With Buy Rating And Low Forward P/E's

Finding a company with a long track record of consistent dividend payments is only part of the winning formula for investing in dividend stocks. Dividend growth matters, too. Rising dividends not only make a stock more attractive to new income investors, but steady dividend hikes also reward existing investors with increasingly higher yields on shares purchased at lower prices in the past.

It's an opportune time to target dividend growers, according to Heidi Richardson, an investment strategist for BlackRock. Companies raising dividends are attractive in an aging bull market, when the pace of shareholder-friendly stock buybacks and mergers can slow. Dividend growers, she adds, can also offer an edge when interest rates are going up: "Stocks with a history of consistently growing their dividends have historically tended to perform well and exhibit less volatility in a rising-rate environment." Kiplinger expects at least two Federal Reserve rate hikes in 2017.

Identify reliable dividend stocks by concentrating on the Dividend Aristocrats, 50 companies in Standard & Poor's 500-stock index that have hiked their dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years.

Since size, longevity and familiarity can provide comfort amid market uncertainty, here are the 25 biggest Dividend Aristocrats by market capitalization. Dominated by household names, the list is a good starting point to find high-quality companies for your long-term portfolio.

My Favorite Dividend Champions As Of March 2017

In the beginning of the first Quarter of the year, many investors review their portfolios and adjust the basic risks. We all hope for a good year on the market and, most importantly, steady dividend growth increase among our portfolio.

I selected a couple of companies with long-term dividend growth growth of which I think they will perform well in 2017 and will increase their dividend payouts.

My main criteria are the following onces:

- Dividend Champion
- Debt-to-Equity under 1
- 5 Year EPS Growth over 5%
- Forward P/E under 20
- Positive Past Sales growth

18 Stocks from the Dividend Champs List remain. Maybe you agree or not. Please leave a comment about your thoughts related to the list.

Here are my favorite Dividend Champs for March 2017...

High Dividend Growth For A Long Time: A Winning Strategy For 2017

Going ahead into the New Year, investors are looking for both income and growth in their portfolios. This can easily be achieved by honing in on stocks that not only pay dividends but also consistently increase their payout.

Stocks that have a strong history of dividend growth as opposed to those that pays high yields form a healthy portfolio with more scope for capital appreciation. This is because these stocks act as a hedge against economic or political uncertainty as well as stock market volatility. Simultaneously, these offer outsized payouts or sizable yields on a regular basis irrespective of the market direction.

Additionally, these stocks have superior fundamentals compared to other dividend paying stocks as dividend growth reflects a sustainable business model, a long track of profitability, rising cash flows, good liquidity, a strong balance sheet and some value characteristics. All these make dividend growth a quality and promising investment for the long term.

However, the long history of outperformance by dividend growth stocks compared with the broader stock market or any other dividend paying stocks does not necessarily mean that they have the highest yields.

Here are a few ideas for a winning dividend growth portfolio:

Dividend Aristocrats are those unique kinds of stocks that rarely go on sale. For more than 25 years, these companies have been churning out ever-increasing dividend payments that show they are more than capable of handling the ups and downs of the economy or their respective industry cycles.

By its very nature, a Dividend Aristocrat tends to be a large and stable blue-chip company with a strong balance sheet. Many of these companies are familiar names that produce household brands. Let's look at the cheapest Dividend Aristocrats in this article.

Every once in a while, though, the market forgets the long-term earnings power of these companies and their stocks become good bargains.

Dividend-paying stocks with consistently growing revenue and earnings that increase dividends, year in and year out. I've recently screened the 52 stocks that make up the "Dividend Aristocrats," to find the cheapest and best values to buy now, as we head into 2017.

These are the results...

My goal is to buy shares of companies that I love, reinvest the dividends, and in a few decades, retire without having to sell a share of stock because my dividend income is reasonable enough to support me and my family. Sound crazy? It's not.

Dividend growth is a key value creation tool that works well for investors who don't want a high return on investment but a solid. You don't have to fear great recessions because of the deep economic integration.

Buy and hold forever is easy to say but hard to implement because of the human psychology. Investors loose trust over time when the company don't grow or disappoints on the earnings in the mid-term. Let me tell you one thing: Only over a long time, the company has a high probability to create and unlock its potential value.

Each good wine need time to develop and dividend growth stocks also need time. That's why I believe that high-quality dividend growth stocks are essential for wealth building.

The 10 stocks listed below are a portion of my "forever" portfolio. I'm not recommending them to you. I paid much less for these stocks than what they sell for now and what you pay for a stock is the ultimate predictor of your investment returns. Still, you may find something of interest here, especially if you build your own portfolio of dividend stocks to hold forever. To that end, I've calculated the dividend growth rates for each of these stocks, as well as a fair value estimate.

These are the results...

Dividend Aristocrats are a group of 50 stocks in the S&P 500 Index that have increased their dividend payments for at least 25 consecutive years, a sign of impressive profitability, financial strength, and management's confidence in the business.

The Dividend Aristocrats index is thought to be composed of well known businesses long past their respective growth phases.

One of the top 10 fastest growing Dividend Aristocrats combines both growth and value. AFLAC (AFL) has a 10 year per share growth rate of 8.53%, and a P/E ratio less than 10.

It is rare to find businesses trading for cheap with a long history of dividend increases and strong growth. It is particularly impressive to see businesses that are ‘in decline’ such as Coca-Cola (KO) and Pepsi (PEP) on the list.

Looking at each of the 50 dividend aristocrats on the list today here are the top 10 dividend stocks that could be the most successful companies over the next decade and beyond. All I've done is to select those stocks with the highest expected earnings growth for the next half decade.

The 20 Dividend Aristocrats with the highest expected 10 year earnings per share growth rates are below. Each of the twenty stocks should grow EPS by more than 10 percent.

These are the results...

Last month we looked at the Canadian dividend aristocrats, a list of companies that have increased dividends each year for the past five years.

The list of stocks is a good starting point for dividend investors, but it also reveals a number of flaws when looking to invest in a company.

Some companies grow their dividend by a small amount in order to remain on the list, while others ignore poor earnings and continue to distribute more in dividends then they earn.

Dividend growth stocks make an excellent choice for investors seeking both income and growth. Dividend growth stocks raise their dividend year after year, growing their owner’s income streams.

Who doesn’t want a rising standard of living year after year? Not only do dividend growth stocks have practical appeal, they have also historically outperformed non-dividend paying stocks by about 7.8 percentage points per year from 1972 through 2013. Not a bad excess return, for simply buying stocks that raise their dividends year after year.

That’s why it’s important to include additional criteria in your search for the best dividend stocks. One thing to look for is the 5-year average dividend growth rate, which shows how consistently a company raises its dividend over time.

Today I ran a stock screen that looked for companies that should increase earnings per share by 10 percent or more for the next five years. The results showed seventeen companies that should produce five years of double digit eps growth and possible double digit dividend growth. Here’s what we found:

20 Dividend Aristocrats For Retirees

Investment strategies change with age. While a younger investor with a longer time horizon may seek out high-risk, high-growth stocks, older folks, especially those in retirement, will want investments that provide safety and a solid source of income.

As a retiree, you'll want to make sure the stocks you choose will protect your initial investment, offer some growth, and have the ability to pay a growing dividend.

The S&P 500's Dividend Aristocrat list, which contains stocks on the index that have raised their dividends for at least 25 years straight, may be a good place to start, but bear in mind that past performance does not necessarily predict future returns.

For stocks with bright dividend growth ahead, retirees may want to consider the picks below.

Each growth investor needs to take a look at future earnings growth. The higher the expected earnings growth, the bigger the valuation multiples of the corporate but the art is not to overpay a growth company and to balance growth and price.

Of course, when you’re searching for impressive earnings growth, you also want to make sure the companies in question are big enough to offer some stability, and traded with enough volume to provide some liquidity.

It's always good to make first selection with high-quality stocks. One way is to screen only the Dividend Aristocrats Index.

The Dividend Aristocrats Index is comprised of 51 stocks that have paid dividends for 25+ consecutive years. Dividend Aristocrats are large cap, blue chip companies from many different industries, but they have all demonstrated a healthy balance between capital growth and dividend income.

Today I like to show you those dividend Aristocrats with the highest by analysts predicted earnings growth. Each of the 20 top results has a double-digit earnings growth.

These are the results...

Dividend growth investing is gaining popularity in the investment community for those wanting the compounding growth effect on income.

The Dividend Aristocrat index is made up of 50 stocks from the SP 500 that have at least 25 years of increasing dividends.

Investing in Dividend Growth companies is an appealing strategy for many investors. When we look at the performance of stocks that grow dividends, stocks that pay dividends, stocks that do not pay dividends, and stocks that have cut dividends, the results are fairly dramatic.

Today I stay focused on the best dividend growth category on the market, the Dividend Aristocrats. Attached you can find my pearls from the index.

I've screened the index by stocks with a P/E under 20 that should grow earnings per share by more than 10% yearly for the next five years. In addition, the debt-to-equity should be normal at 1 or less.

11 stocksfulfilled my criteria. Check out the porfolio statistics below.

This Weekend my eyes and thoughts curved around the Healthcare sector.

I read several interesting articles from the sector, mostly about the biotech’s and new Hepatitis C drugs from Gilead, Sovaldi and Harvoni.

Those are very expensive drugs with potential to kill the current medical systems but they also generate tons of cash for their corporate.

I also noticed that the Healthcare sector grows at a much faster pace than the economy does, with 10+ percent. How can you benefit from this trend? I don't know. Prices are high, even on free cash flow basis.

Second, the old synthetic drug cash cow system from Pfizer doesn't work anymore. PFE is losing revenues. Even Teva, a generic drug manufacturer, struggles.

In order to get an overview about modest valuated growth stocks from the Healthcare sector, I've created a screen for large capitalized sector members with the following main criteria:

- EPS growth next five years: over 5 percent

- Sales growth past five years: over 5 percent

- Forward P/E under 20

- Positive Dividend

14 attractive healthcare growth stocks remain. It's a very selective list with focus on sales and earnings growth. You can find the full results attached.
