16 Dividend Paying Growth Stocks That Could Double Sales and Income

As a long-term investor, I'm seeking stocks that grow over the long-term. My optimum case by selecting a stock is that the company is acting within a positive business environment and could grow sales over the past decade by around 100 percent.

There are a lot of companies out there who have doubled sales and over doubled net income within the recent 10 years. That’s no joke and quiet possible.

Today I like to show you 16 growth stocks with a good growth history that pay currently solid dividends and have no or nearly no debt. In addition, analysts predict a 5+ percent EPS growth for the next five years.

I love stocks with financial flexibility because those stocks have one problem less and could focus themselves more on business development. 

These are my 5 top picks from the list…

16 Cheap Dividend Stocks With Low Debt To Boost Share Repurchases

Dividend paying stocks with low debt ratios and big share repurchases originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I love dividend growth stocks and dividend paying companies in general but it’s also important to see that the corporate buys its own shares back.

The process of share repurchases is a special way to give shareholder’s money back in a very tax-optimized way. 

A low yielding stock with a 2 percent yield can lift the total yield via stock repurchases to 4 percent or so. For sure, share buybacks are no cash yields on your trading account; it’s an indirect way to reduce the current shares and lift the potential share price.

There is an index outside that covers some of the best stocks with share repurchases that bought at least 5 percent of its outstanding shares within the past 12 months.

Today I would like to screen the Buyback Achievers index by the best yielding stocks with a low forward P/E as well as a very low debt-to-equity ratio. Low debt is a good indicator for potential growth or additional share buybacks.

These are my criteria in detail:

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Forward P/E under 15

- Long-Term Debt-To-Equity below 0.2

- Member of the Buyback Achievers Index

In total, sixteen Buyback Achievers Index stocks fulfilled the above mentioned restrictions of which ten have a current buy or better rating.

50 Top Stocks With The Highest Dividend Growth In January 2013

Shares with highest dividend growth from last month by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Dividend growth is one of the biggest wealth drivers. If you buy a stock with a 2 percent yield you might know that this can’t help you. You are right especially when you have invested only $1,000, your dividend income would only $20. That's not much when you consider that you have around $10 trading costs.

Dividend growth helps you to grow your passive income. Normally, a solid stock should double its dividend payments over ten years. This means that your yield on cost would rise to 4 percent.

I often had stocks in my portfolio that beat this growth rates. Sure they were more risky than stocks like Procter & Gamble or Coca Cola but they all had a margin of safety for me. My yield on cost was after 5 years over 10 percent.

Today I like to show you the 50 fastest dividend growth stocks from the last 30 days. There are some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates which indicate a strong business health. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 68.40 percent. Remember, if you have such stocks, your yield on cost goes up over 10 percent in less than two years!

I personally have no stocks from the list. I don’t know why. Maybe there are too many financial and oil stocks on the list. More than half of the results have a current buy or better rating.
