50 Shares With Fastest Dividend Growth In April 2013

Shares with highest dividend growth researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Only a growing business is a good business; that’s a major rule in economics. But growth is not all. Investors want a part of the company’s success; they want growing dividends at high rates.

Sometimes, predatory investors and some activists try to steal some of the company’s assets and force a dividend payment which is much higher than the current earnings. Those activities are bad for the stock price.

Good dividend hikes are such ones that are in-line with a healthy growing operational business. They reflect a solid growing business with a trustful management who wants to share the company’s success with the ownership.

It’s easy to discover good and bad dividend growth. All you need is to look at the earnings developments and debt changes.

Today I run my screen of the 50 fastest dividend growers from the recent month. Below the results are again some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates. All stocks have a double-digit growth rate. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 73.26 percent. The average yield is still at 3.77 percent.

My Best Financial Stock Picks For 2013 | Do Financial Stocks Recover?

Buy shares low, hold them and sell high. That’s a very easy and simple strategy but investing is much more than buying stocks and waiting until the price goes up. You have to select the best stocks by fundamentals, business model, market strength, price ratios and so on. Investing is hard work and your emotions shouldn’t be a part of your selection process. Do you lose money with a trade? Don’t care that’s part of the business of a stock trader. Take care that your single trade positions are not big in relation to your trading limits or margins. They should account for less than 1 percent of your net worth.

Today, I like to screen the financial sector by the best growth stock picks for 2013. The whole sector has too many stocks listed, around 2,868 - No wonder that we need a consolidation with the financial crisis. Stocks from the sector are totally valuated at 168.25 trillion. The average P/E amounts to 13.04 and the yield is 2.45. What do you think, are stocks from the financial sector cheap or right to buy now? Let me know in the comment box bellow.

These are my criteria:

- Forward P/E under 15

- Past 5Y Sales growth over 10 percent

- Earnings per share growth for the next five years over 10 percent

- Operating Margin over 10 percent

- Market Capitalization over 2 billion

Eleven stocks remain of which six have a current buy or better rating. Ten of the results pay dividends. I am not a big fan of financial stocks because I could not evaluate the risks of the banking assets. I like stocks from services stocks with financial relations like Thomson Reuters, Moodys or Nasdaq.
