30 Top Stocks With Dividend Growth From Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 30 companies announced a dividend hike within the recent week. Only six of them are large capitalized stocks and five are really cheap in terms of a low forward P/E.

It’s in line with our recognition of rising stock market multiples. Real cheap stocks are very rare. The most dangerous item are growth expectations. Growth let earnings multiples grow but you need low multiples with a solid growing business to make a good return.

The biggest results are Itau Unibanco, Goldman Sachs and Abbott Laboratories as well.

Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of August 2013

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. It’s always good to have stocks with cheap fundamentals and a proven long-term track record.

For sure, a cheap valuation is no guarantee for a great return and the past performance also doesn’t mean that the future will look like the history but you can get a good overview of the current falling angels at the market. Some of them still have a dominating market position like Chevron, China Mobile or AnheuserBush-Inbev.

Each month, I create a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

Southern Copper is still the highest yielding company, followed by BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust and Yanzhou Coal Mining.

All three stocks are commodity players. They have benefitted from the big commodity price boom of the recent years and suffer now under price declines.

34 Stocks With A Growing Dividend From Last Week | 24 Shares Have A Buy Rating

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 34 stocks announced a dividend hike last week. That’s a pretty increase compared to the recent weeks with only around 10 dividend hikers. We come back to old strength.

The biggest names on the list are the Brazil bank Itau Unibanco Holding, the oil and gas pipeline operator Kinder Morgan as well as the healthcare medical equipment stock Covidien.

24 of the dividend growth stocks from last week have a current buy or better rating and 10 are valuated with a P/E below 15.

Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of July 2013

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment

The recent sell-off on the market made stocks a little bit cheaper but they are not real bargains. Some stocks are still very high valueated and only a few single stocks have become more attractive. 

It’s important to own good long-term growth stocks at reasonable prices in order to receive a good investment return. If the company grows further and accelerates its growth, your stake will definitely become larger over the time.

Each month, I create a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of shares with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

Exactly thirty companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. The top pick is still the commodity stock southern copper with a 12.42 percent yield. Nearly half of the results come from the basic material sector. Technology stocks are the second best investment category. Eighteen of the results have a current buy or better rating.

20 Of The Safest Dividend Challengers On The Market

Dividend Challengers with lowest beta ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". I love high-quality dividend growth stocks and the stocks with the longest history of consecutive payments are definitely Dividend Kings and Dividend Champions. But the big disadvantage of them is that they are also highly priced.

You cannot make a greater return with stocks that have a P/E ratio of 22 and grows only at 5 percent. You need real bargains to make big profit with your asset.

This problem can be solved when you look into the dividend potentials. Those stocks haven’t yet reached a longer dividend payment history but they can become a great Dividend Champion within the next years. The price ratios are also lower for some companies and you have a better choice to find good investments because out there are around 160 stocks with five or more years of consecutive dividend payments and 207 with a payment between 10 to 25 years.

Today I like to screen the third class of dividend growth stocks by the safest alternatives. The 20 safest dividend growth stocks have a beta ratio between 0.18 and 0.55. All three top picks come from the oil & gas pipeline industry, a branch with very stable sales and future growth perspectives due to the shale gas boom in the United States.

From the 20 safest Dividend Challengers have nine a current buy or better rating.

Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of May 2013 – 26 Most Impressive Dividend Growth Stocks

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. On the first day of each month, I create a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

The reason behind is to find some attractive valuated companies with a strong market position and pricing power. Some of the results are distorted because they had an extraordinary good economic situation in the past. I’m talking about basic material stocks. Within the recent years, underlying prices for commodities increased very strongly because of China’s hunger for raw material. As a result, earnings as well as margins of mining companies exploded. The second most represented sector from the screen is the technology sector. 26 companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria; 17 of them are currently recommended to buy.

20 High-Yield Stocks With Safe Heaven Characteristics

High-Yield MidCap stocks with low beta ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Investors always look for opportunities on the market. They try to realize a bigger return by excluding additional risks. Risk-free stocks don’t exist but some stocks have a higher volatility than others. A ratio that measures the volatility is the beta ratio.

Linked is a sheet of the “safest” high-yielding stocks. Those stocks have a beta ratio below 0.5 as well as a higher market capitalization. In my case, I screen for stocks with a market valuation over USD 2 billion.

Only 20 companies fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which six have a double-digit yield. Eight of the results are recommended to buy. REITs and oil & gas pipeline stocks dominating the screen.

20 Safest Dividend Income Growth Stocks From The Early Stage

Dividend Challengers with low beta ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Some investors are greedy and tend to overlook risks. Others are too anxious and avoid to buy stocks in a larger amount. They could “lose money” or they “can get quick rich” are two psychological factors that investors prevent to make real money with investing. Both are not true and only an illusion.

If you invest money into the stock market and you do it wisely and diversified, you should only count with a return close to the performance of the broad market. I believe that a return of 8 percent is realistic and good enough to beat inflation and grow wealth.

Today I like to screen a category of stocks with a longer dividend growth history, the Dividend Challengers. Those stocks have achieved to raise dividends over a period of more than five years in a row but less than 10 years. 167 companies have fulfilled these dividend growth criteria. 

Below is a list of the safest stocks from the investment category "Challengers". They have a beta ratio of less than 0.5 as well as a market capitalization over USD 2.0 billion.

20 Dividend Challengers are on the list of the safest dividend income growth stocks and six of them have a high yield; Nine are recommended to buy.

20 Stocks With Over 4% Dividend Yield And Highest Earnings Growth


Income stocks with highest earnings per share growth and yields over 4% originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". We all have a small problem if we have money which must be invested. The yields for high quality stocks go rapidly down. It’s hard to find stocks with a dividend yield of more than 3 percent and a longer dividend growth history. Low yields couldn’t help you to grow your wealth and protect your assets against inflation.

Today I started a screen of the most successful stocks in terms of earnings per share growth of the recent 10 years. I implemented a 4% barrier as well as a minimum market capitalization of at least USD 1 billion.
Linked are the results of the highest growing long-term stocks with yields still above the 4% mark. Many oil and gas companies as well as mining stocks are below the results but in total they are well mixed.

A past performance does not guarantee a good future. Some of them had special economic situations and benefited from under capacities. Especially stocks from the commodity sector must be mentioned here. It’s very important to look at the future business environment and price developments of the underlying assets they produce and sell.

17 High-Yield Oil And Gas Pipeline Stocks

Oil & gas pipeline operators with highest dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Stocks from the basic material sector could complement your portfolio and hedge it against strong commodity price increases. One industry from the basic material sector with the highest yielding stocks is the oil and gas pipeline industry.

39 companies are linked to the industry of which 37 pay dividends. Combined they have a total market capitalization of USD 800 billion. Nearly 60 percent of the industry players have a yield over 5 percent and some have a really great dividend history. Thanks to the share gas boom it’s now possible that more pipeline infrastructure is needed. The average industry yield amounts to 4.72% and the P/E ratio is 33.40.


You should have seen some interesting pipeline companies on my blog in the past. Normally I am no fan of real estate companies because of the huge amounts of money they need for growing. But pipeline operators look different. They pay huge dividends and have the ability to grow dividends year over year. Their business model works but I don’t know how long. Pipeline operators are better than real estate stocks but it could be possible that the time brings some changes, especially when the energy demand and supply is changing.


Oil and gas pipeline stocks are real asset companies and they have a huge leverage on their balance sheet. The average industry long-term debt to equity ratio is over 123 percent but as long as revenue and cash flow streams are stable, this figure is still healthy.

Linked is a list of all higher capitalized oil and gas pipeline operators (over USD 2 billion market cap) with a yield over 5 percent. Seventeen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight have a current buy or better recommendation.

Best Dividend Paying Stock List | 30 Top Growth Stocks For March 2013

Best Dividend Paying Stocks Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Today I like to go forward with my regular best dividend paying stock lists. With this lists, I discover the market by the best growth stocks with good yields and past returns.

I ever try to summarize some important fundamentals in my screening criteria in order to get the best results for a long-term orientated investor.

Every month, I create a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100


Best Yielding Dividend Challengers | 30 High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks

Dividend Challengers with the highest dividend yields originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Dividend Challengers are the third class of the best dividend growth stocks. They raised cash distributions to shareholders in form of dividends over a period between 5 and 10 years without a break.

Exactly 175 stocks raised dividends over this period. Today, I like to present the best yielding Challengers. The list below shows all High-Yield stocks. In total, there are 30 companies with a yield of more than 5 percent and nearly half of the results are recommended to buy.

Some Challengers have the potential to grow dividends to real Champions but most of them will fail over the next five or ten years. I personally would not use the dividend growth criteria as a big requirement. The biggest capital gains will be made with good growth picks. The payments will come from alone in the end.
