12 Healthcare Dividend Stocks With High Potential To Boost Growth And Hike Dividends

Healthcare dividend stocks with low payout ratios and small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love the combination of low debt with little payout ratios. 

The debt situation is one of the most important issues in corporate finance. It also expresses the ability to grow sales and earnings by enlarging the balance sheet with bank loans.

Only a low leveraged corporate has potential to boost sales without taking new investors into the boat that dilute the current earnings per share.

Today I would like to start an article serial about low leveraged stocks from several sectors with currently small dividend payouts. I believe it’s good to see what companies have the biggest potential to give shareholders huge amounts of money back in the near future and believe me, the tech sector is not the only place to be.

My criteria are a low dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent as well as a debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5. Only twelve stocks fulfilled these very tight defined criteria.

One result is a High-Yield and nine stocks are recommended to buy or better. Most of the results come from the medical appliances & supplies or equipment industry.

12 Healthcare Dividend Stocks With Gaining Earnings Momentum

Healthcare Dividend Stocks With Accelerated Growth Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Growth stocks are wonderful especially if they are at the beginning of their growth path. Growth normally creates shareholder value and if the company doesn’t need much money to finance the growth, you can benefit already within the early stage.

I screened the healthcare sector by stocks with a recent earnings growth of more than ten percent (past five years). In order to catch up only those stocks with a gaining earnings growth, I observed only stocks with a quarter over quarter sales and earnings per share growth of more than 10 percent. Exactly twelve companies fulfilled these criteria. All of them are recommended to buy.
