Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Week

6 Dividend Contenders Growing Earnings At Fastest Pace While Keeping Margins High

Growth is good especially when it comes on high-margin. Today I like to show you those stocks with the highest expected earnings per share growth for the next five years.

Each of the stocks has an operating margin over 15%. In addition, sales grew by more than 5 percent yearly in the past half decade.

Only 6 stocks fulfilled my criteria of which two paying yields over 6 percent. Attached you can also find a full list with more fundamentals. I hope it helps you do evaluate the stocks better.

Here are the results...

12 Cheapest Dividend Achievers By PEG Ratio

Each investor try's to figure out if a stock is cheap or not. Fundamentally, there are two basic methods to identify a cheap company by price ratios: PER and PEG.

PER

The P/E ratio is simply to calculate: Just divide Price with Earnings. Essentially, this tells you how much an investor is willing to pay for each unit (year) of earnings. 

If a stock is trading at a P/E ratio of 30, it is said to be trading at 30x times its annual earnings. In general, the lower the P/E ratio the better. 

A common threshold for many investors is a P/E of 20 or less. (For the record, at the time of this writing, the S&P 500 Index was trading at a P/E (using F1 Estimates) of 15.33.) 

PEG

A PEG ratio is the: P/E Ratio divided by the Growth Rate Conventional wisdom says a value of 1 or less is considered good (at par or undervalued to its growth rate), while a value of greater than 1, in general, is not as good (overvalued to its growth rate). 

Many believe the PEG ratio tells a more complete story than just the P/E ratio. (The S&P at the time of this writing had a PEG ratio of 1.93.) 

 Let's take a look at both of these in action. For example: a company with a P/E Ratio of 25 and a Growth Rate of 20% would have a PEG ratio of 1.25 (25 / 20= 1.25). 

While a company with a P/E Ratio of 40 and a Growth Rate of 50% would have a PEG Ratio of 0.80 (40 / 50= 0.80). 

Traditionally, investors would look at the stock with the lower P/E ratio and deem it a bargain (undervalued). 

But looking at it closer, you can see it doesn't have the growth rate to justify its P/E. The stock with the P/E of 40, however, is actually the better bargain since its PEG ratio is lower (0.80) and is trading at a discount to its growth rate. In other words, the lower the PEG ratio, the better the value. That's because the investor would be paying less for each unit of earnings growth.

Attached you will find a sheet of Dividend Achievers with the lowest PEG Ratio on the market. Those stocks have risen dividends over more than 10 consecutive years and a PEG ratio of less than one.

Twelve companies fulfill these criteria of which three pay dividends over three percent.

20 Cheapest Dividend Achievers With The Highest Expected Earnings Growth

10 Cheaply Valuated Stocks Boosting Earnings For The Next Years

Companies delivering superior growth in sales and earnings tend to be winning names over the long term. However, these companies rarely sell for low valuations, so you generally need to pay premium prices for top-growth stocks. With this in mind, it makes sense to look for strong-growth companies going through temporary challenges and trading at convenient valuations.

I've created a screen of dividend paying stocks with a solid growth momentum. Those stocks have shown investors increasing sales over years while analysts predicting a rosy future. Earnings should grow for the mid-term at double-digit rates.

In addition, my focus is on higher capitalized stocks with a lower beta and debt. Twelve stocks fulfilled my criteria of which one has a yield of more than 3 percent and ten are recommended to buy.

These are the highest yielding results:

10 Top Money Returning Dividend Stocks From The Russell 3000

In addition, to incorporate the need for growth, I took the qualifying stocks and ranked them by their total return since a decade ago. Below are the top yielding results in detail and attached a full list, sorted by yield.
