The Fastest-growing Restaurant Stocks By SSS

20 Best Dividend Paying Restaurants

Restaurant stocks are a little risky, since they're subject to food scares, seasons and recessions, but they're fun, especially if they have dividends. 

Yet some analysts are predicting a bear market will impact restaurant stocks in the near future, since consumers cut their discretionary dining budgets when times are tight. 

The sector is on the front lines when the bear market appears. But others say the public might head toward affordable food, so restaurants with lower priced menus might do well. And, with consumer confidence in July at one of the highest points since the recovery, at 97, and unemployment claims so low, these may be signals of a healthy economy.

Making income through dividend investing involves searching for solid companies that have a good chance of increasing the dividend year after year. As the company's sales and profits grow, dividends usually grow also, and the money you make can be reinvested or used as cash. 

Attached you will find a list of all dividend payers in the restaurant business.

Here are the best dividend paying restaurants on the market...

Which Stocks To Buy In Market Corrections - 40 Best Dividend Growth Ideas Now!

When the market falls, it tends to drag everything down -- good or bad companies. I think that companies that have increased their dividends by 10% or higher in the last 10-years should be considered good companies. 

One way to combat the market downturn is to buy high growth dividend-growth companies that are fairly valued or undervalued. 

These companies are expected to grow earnings per share at a rate higher than 5% in the foreseeable future and have a history of increasing dividends with payout ratios of less than 60%. 

In addition, I like to invest into low leveraged companies. If rates rise or money is needed for investments, the company doesn’t need to raise capital. It's also a hedge for rising dividends.

I also look for stocks with a midcap market valuation or higher. I love the diversification and developed status of those companies.

63 stocks fulfilled my criteria. I like to show you only the 20 best yielding. Half of them have a beta higher than the market. They seem to be more risky.

These 7 Dividend Growth Stocks Pay Your Investment In 9 To 13 Years Back

Companies with a very short payback are often troubled or have been highly discounted due to the market’s lack of faith in them. At the other extreme, do you really want to wait 30, 40 or 50 years to earn back your initial investment?

As a compromise, a 9 to 13 year payback should be acceptable for most long-term investors. Once you earn back your investment, some might say you are in a no-lose situation. I wouldn’t go quite that far, but you have found an investment that that has provided you a good historical revenue stream, and hopefully it will continue to do so in the future.

Attached you can find 7 dividend growth stocks with a 9 to 13 year payback (at the current yield and dividend growth rate) and a yield between 2.5% to 6.0%.

A combined portfolio delivered a total return of 25% in 2014. At the end of the article, you can find more about this fact.

5 Best Stocks For Retirement Investors (Yield And Value)

If you are in retirement, it’s important to have multiple income streams, such as Social Security and savings and investments you built up on your own. For the lucky, there are pensions, but those are fast disappearing. Investing in stocks that pay a dividend is another way to generate income while you're in retirement.

Dividend stocks offer investors an attractive alternative to traditional fixed-income investments. Dividend-paying stocks have the potential to generate income in two ways: first, through the regular dividend payment, and second, through potential appreciation of the stock price itself. Investors can expect to receive an annual dividend ranging from 2.5 percent to 3 percent of the stock’s value.

Below is a selection of stocks with solid yields that could be interesting for traders and investors.

6 Mid Capitalized Dividend Achievers For Growth And Income Seeking Investors

Recently, I wrote about foreign small cap dividend stocks with growth potential. Small- and midcaps offer investors a higher opportunity because sales could grow faster from a low basis.

 Today I like to show you 6 small and mid capitalized stocks form the Dividend Achievers list that have risen dividends over more than 10 years in a row.
