20 Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yield And Highest Earnings Growth

Income stocks with highest earnings per share growth and yields over 4% originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We all have a small problem if we have money which must be invested. The yields for high quality stocks go rapidly down. It’s hard to find stocks with a dividend yield of more than 3 percent and a longer dividend growth history. Low yields couldn’t help you to grow your wealth and protect your assets against inflation.

Today I started a screen of the most successful stocks in terms of earnings per share growth of the recent 10 years. I implemented a 4% barrier as well as a minimum market capitalization of at least USD 1 billion.
Linked are the results of the highest growing long-term stocks with yields still above the 4% mark. Many oil and gas companies as well as mining stocks are below the results but in total they are well mixed.

A past performance does not guarantee a good future. Some of them had special economic situations and benefited from under capacities. Especially stocks from the commodity sector must be mentioned here. It’s very important to look at the future business environment and price developments of the underlying assets they produce and sell.
