7 Dividend Stocks With Potential To Double Dividends

Over a long time horizon, high-dividend-growth stocks are a lot more likely to keep pace with inflation. Plus, let’s face it — it’s nice getting a raise every year, and that’s exactly what dividend growth stocks do. With every passing year, the amount of cold, hard cash they put in your pocket increases.

But dividends also tell a far more important story. An exceptionally high dividend yield is often a sign of financial distress … and a sign that dividend cuts are a lot more likely than dividend hikes. But dividend growth is a sign of company health. Company boards of directors only vote to raise the payout if they believe a lot more cash will be coming in to replace it.

I don’t have a crystal ball, and I can’t say with 100% certainty which dividend stocks are going to grow their payout the fastest in the years ahead. But by looking at recent dividend growth history gives us a good starting point.

So, today we’re going to take a look at seven stocks that I expect to double their dividends over the next three years. None are what I consider monster dividend yielders today, but all pay a respectable current dividend that promises to get a lot bigger in the years to come.

Here are the results...

20 Cheapest Large Cap Stocks With Fat Dividends And Low Debt Ratios

Blue chip stocks are established large-cap businesses that pay reliable dividends. They have long corporate histories and provide well-known products and/or services.

De-risk your portfolio with undervalued dividend payers that you can watch grow inside of your portfolio. With the market pulling back again, now is a great time to start adding shares while they’re cheap.

There are a number of stocks that have taken a beating of late, and that’s created some great buying opportunities. There are close to 350 stocks that pay a 2% plus dividend yield and are down 10% in 2016.

However, not all of these dividends are actually “cheap” from a valuation perspective, nor do all have the balance sheets or cash flows to support their dividends.

The key is to be prudent.

Attached you will see a list of the 20 cheapest dividend paying large cap stocks by forward price to earnings ratio. I've only listed those with a market cap over 10 billion with a debt to equity ratio below one. Those are two very essential restrictions to my screen.

As might see, there is a good mix of all sectors: Financials, Industrials, Services, Technology, Healthcare and Utilites.

These are the 20 cheapest dividend paying large caps by forward P/E ratio...

13 Large Cap Financials With High Potential To Boost Dividends

Financial dividend stocks with low payout ratios and relatively small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I started an article serial about stocks with low dividend payout ratios and small debt figures this month.

I believe that these two ratios have a big impact to judge the ability of a corporate to grow at a faster pace and hike dividends in the future.

Today I would like to discover the financial sector by stocks with a less than 20 percent dividend payout ratio and a debt to equity leverage of less than one. Because of the huge amount of results, I will only look at those stocks with a market capitalization over USD 10 billion.

Exactly thirteen financial stocks fulfilled these criteria of which one is a High-Yield.

20 Cheapest Financial Dividend Stocks

Dividend stocks from the financial sector with very low forward P/E ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Dividends are great, not only because you get cash in your pockets. It’s also a symbol for the ability of a company to share its profits with the shareholder of the company.

Dividends are good but they are better when the company is cheaply priced. This month, I started a screen serial of the cheapest stocks from several major sectors. Today, I observe financial stocks with a large market capitalization (over USD 10 billion) and a positive dividend yield.

The top 20 results are valuated between 6.9 and 9.6 of expected earnings. Despite the financial recovery and the ongoing crises, nearly all of the results have an expected five year earnings growth close to the 10 percent mark.
Two of the results have a high yield and 18 are currently recommended to buy or even better.

60 Stocks And 6 Funds Raised Dividend Payments Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week was an interesting one because some of the big players announced a dividend hike, in-line with the expectations of the market. They are still continuing long-term dividend grower. Below the results are IBM, PepsiCo, Costco, American Express or Royal Dutch. 

In total, 60 shares and six ETFs announced a hike, in average a 30.05 percent increase. Eleven of them pay a high yields; 37 have a current buy or better recommendation. 

The markets are at All-Time-Highs and nobody scares this. I hate it when stocks getting more expensive and yields go rapidly down because I must limit my stock purchases. In such an environment, a dividend growth investor can’t build values when a slow growing stock pays a 1.5 percent yield - a value similar to the bond market yields. Let’s hope that earnings and sales grow in the same amount.

20 Highly Recommended Financial Dividend Shares | Stock Buy List

Financial dividend stocks with highest buy recommendation originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". One sector I’ve tried to avoid in the past was the financial sector. I have only stocks from financial services provider like Thomson Reuters or some Stock Exchange Operator like the NYX. Some major investors and hedge funds have started bets on the post financial recovery earlier with no greater success.

The whole financial industry is still in a crises and this should go on. I don’t know how long. Jobs in the industry are still degraded and as long as the interest rates are low and there will be more and more jobs degraded.

Despite the bad sector news, Last year, the financial sector was the top performing bet with a 27.5 percent gain. I missed this opportunity but as of today, I cannot evaluate all the risks within the sector. I have no idea what kind of risk assets banks have and how they manage them.

What do you think about the sector? Do you have some shares from banks or related industries? Let me know and leave a comment in the box below.

Today, I like to show you the 20 best recommended financial stocks with a higher capitalization (over USD 2 billion). Below the results are five with a high yield.
