It's been a great time to be invested in the stock market recently. The S&P 500 is up 22% during the past 12 months and more than 83% in the past five years.
Even more, with dividends from the S&P 500 automatically reinvested during the past five years, the market index is up more than 100% during this period.
But in a market like this, it's getting increasingly difficult to find solid dividend stocks, particularly dividend stocks with dividend yields over 3%. But there are still some hanging around. Here are a few stocks...

4 Dividend Stocks That Might Grow Earnings And Dividends Much Faster Than The S&P 500
Even after a 15% pullback, the S&P 500 yields just 2.3% today.Which means if you buy an index fund today, and you never saw a dividend increase, it’d take you more than 40 years to get your initial investment back in cash.
Fortunately companies with growing earnings often do pass their higher profits along to shareholders.
And you can really accelerate your returns by buying only those that increase their payouts annually.
Attached you will find 4 dividend stocks that are growing their earnings and dividends much faster than the S&P 500 at large.
They all pay a better-than-average dividend today, and have promising business prospects. Investors who buy these stocks today will likely soon enjoy an outsized yield on their initial investment, thanks to rapid payout growth.

15 Cheap Stocks With Strong Growth Prospects
Dividend stocks as a group have started to trade in a range as investors contemplate the effect that the upcoming interest rate hike will have on their valuation.From our perspective, the decision on whether dividend stocks are a good hold in a rising-interest-rate environment is a moot point — as long as we’re looking for the right stocks.
The “right” dividend stocks in our book not only pay healthy dividends, but also have strong growth prospects. Focusing on strong balance sheets and growing revenue helps to avoid investing in companies that may be at risk of decreasing or cutting their dividends.
Attached you can find a few dividend stocks with double-digit earnings growth predictions for the next five years.
Each of the stocks has a market cap over 2 billion, a debt to equity ratio under 0.5 and a beta below the market average.
15 stocks fulfilled our criteria of which two are High-Yields. 13 of the results got a buy or better rating by analysts.

19 Best Insurance Dividend Growth Stocks To Consider Now
If there is one thing every
investor can appreciate, it is a growing stream of reliable dividends. Some
sectors have more dividend champions than others. The insurance sector is a
useful place for investors who want to align their personal risks with their
portfolio.
If insurance
companies are able to increase prices and profits, owning the insurance
companies should lead to stronger dividends at the same time that insurance
costs will be increasing. However, it can be difficult for investors to
determine which insurance stocks would be the best fit for their portfolio.
Insurers are big
asset managers and depend on the market conditions. But not all insurers are
equal. Life insurers suffer more on this weak interest environment than
property and casualty insurer.
Attached you can
find the best investment opportunities from the industry. I've only listed
those stocks with a long dividend growth history. In addition, each of the
stocks has a low forward P/E and a positive earnings growth outlook for the next
five years. In addition, the debt-to-equity ratio is under 0.5. As a result, 19
stocks joined the list.

8 Cheap Dividend Growth Stars You Must Know....
Dividend
stocks are a passion for me but most of the long-term dividend payer and grower
underperformed the market within the recent years.
However, I
maintain my strategy because I know what I own and how much return they will deliver over the long-run. I don't care about my friends and other
investor colleagues and what they might say about my boring strategy.
Toady I've screened the
market by cheap opportunities, stocks that look fundamentally cheap. It does
not mean that they perform well in the near future but they offer a good yield
with solid fundamentals which is a good seed of future crops.
My criteria are:
- Dividend growth of more than 5 consecutive years
- Debt-to-equity ratio under 0.5
- Dividend Yield above 3 percent
- Market Cap over $2 billion
- Forward P/E below 15
8 companies survived my screening. Below are the detailed stocks in review.
