24 Dividend Growth Stocks With Solid Yields To Consider

Dividend growth is a wonderful thing, but you should also require the stocks you buy to look cheap. Here I seek out stocks trading at multiples of price to sales, earnings, and cash flow lower than five-year averages.

Stocks that trade at discounted valuations can be cheap for a reason, so I also require expected sales growth for the year ahead to be positive. Using these criteria, the 24 stocks shown in the table have proven themselves to be “dividend growth superstars” that kept on paying and even raising their dividends through the 2008-2009 financial crisis. They also trade at historically cheap valuations on at least two of the three ratios I use to determine value: price/sales, price/earnings, and price/cash flow.

If you follow a strategy of investing in temporarily cheap stocks of companies that habitually hike their dividends, not only will you experience significant capital gains when the stock falls back into favor with the market, but the yield you earn on your original investment can balloon to downright plump proportions.

These are the results...

These 20 Stocks Could Benefit From Higher Rates

The current problem on the market could be descried with the following sentence: Rising rates could let to a falling dollar. 

In contraction, Investors expect the US Dollar to rally, undermining equities and furthering headwinds to S&P 500 EPS and also amplified stress for EM borrowers (USD denom. debt). 

History says that the consensus is wrong and counters intuitively, when the Fed moves to neutral from easy (11 most recent cycles), USD weakened 55% of the time, with a median decline of 7% in the first year.

Below I've implemented screen results of stocks that might benefit from rising rate hikes. Stocks from the screen have fulfilled the following criteria:

Stock selection criteria...

(i) Stock’s price correlation to the USD (DXY Index) from 5/2014 – 3/2015 is less than -0.40

(ii) Mean implied upside based on analyst target prices is positive

(iii) P/E (‘15E and ‘16E) is below 25X but consensus EPS is positive

(iv) FCF yield is above 3%

(v) Company beat consensus EPS expectations the last 2 quarters.

Here are the 20 best yielding results in detail....
