The idea to create Factbooks and Fact Excel Sheets was born when I were looking for free aggregated information on the web. As a student of economics, I had not much money to buy the expensive S&P Stock and Bond Guides by McGraw-Hill to educate myself. I must put all my efforts into research and web search. Finally I needed to put all information into one Word and Excel file.

The Dividend Yield Factbooks and Excel Sheets inform students and other persons with a great desire for big data of stock fundamentals and worldwide yields from corporations.

A small donation from you can help me to develop this books and improve the quality of the work. Together we can make the world a better and smarter place. A place with no information advantage between poor and rich persons who have enough budget to buy the expensive data from Reuters and Bloomberg.

An Overview Of The Best Industrial Dividend Income Stocks Q4/2017

The companies on this list were originally selected based on their track records of dividend growth, financial ratings, and earnings growth.

With the industrials being cyclical in nature, I've found that this sector is one of the more difficult ones to forecast, both in putting valuations on companies and in predicting future dividend growth.

The following table contains historical dividend growth information as well as current dividend rate, dividend yield, analyst earnings expectations, and the corresponding PE ratio and payout ratio from these numbers.

Is W.W. Grainger Fairly Priced?

W.W. Grainger (NYSE:GWW) is a large cap stock with a market capitalization of $10.1 billion. The company is a distributor of maintenance, repair and operating (MRO) supplies and other related products and services.

GWW is located to the industrial equipment wholesale industry. The biggest competitors are Fastenal (NYSE: FAST), HD Supply Holdings (NYSE: HDS) and MSC Industrial Direct (NYSE: MSM).

Over the past year, the GWW stock is down 26.41%, which is a clear underperformance compared to the S&P 500 and Dow Jones. Each of the larger indices gained during the same period over 10%.

Is it now a good time to buy, not to buy, wait or sell the stock? In this article, I will check the financials and valuation figures of the company and give a clear statement.

I developed a simple system to diagnose the financial health of a company. It looks at the following six key metrics...

A List Of All Recent Dividend Growth Stocks

A stock with a high yield doesn’t mean much if the dividend is cut or eliminated, and the stock price declines significantly.

Sometimes it is desirable to accept higher risk for a higher yield. Other times we may be accepting higher risk and are not being adequately compensated for the additional risk.

One measure of dividend sustainability is the ability of management to consistently raise their dividends each year. A first step is to observe all dividend growth stocks at a time when the raise is announced.

Below are all companies raising the dividend over the past week:

10 Best Dividend Growth Stocks For 2017

It's no secret that a high-quality portfolio of dividend growth stocks is one of the most powerful long-term wealth compounding tools.

Of course, the hardest part of investing is identifying high-quality companies and separating them from lesser-quality ones.

One great way to do this is find companies with high returns on invested capital, or ROIC. ROIC tells us how good management is at converting capital into profits that can go toward paying secure and growing dividends over time.

Better yet, studies show that over the long term a company's total returns generally track its ROIC, which means that dividend growth companies with high ROICs are good choices for your diversified dividend portfolio.

Let's take a look at 10 high-quality, high-ROIC dividend growth names, all of which have bright futures and can be great allies in reaching your own financial goals, such as living off dividends in retirement.

These are the results...

The Cheapest Dividend Stocks On NASDAQ

You might not think of the Nasdaq as synonymous with big dividends. The Nasdaq Composite index, which essentially consists of every domestic and foreign stock that trades on the exchange, has long been heavy on technology and those technology companies have historically shown a bias for reinvesting their profits to finance future growth, rather than returning cash to shareholders.

But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find some rich payouts. Attached are 50 Nasdaq-listed companies with generous dividends that have the potential to grow. Even better, many of the stocks are dirt cheap. The yields grow up to 8.06% and starts at 0.56%.

Several of the companies have similar profiles: large technology firms that are past their years of rapid growth but still throw off a lot of cash, which can be used to boost distributions. But the Nasdaq holds more than just tech, so we’ve also included a few companies from other sectors, as well as some less-well-known tech firms.

These are the latest dividend dogs from NASDAQ....

8 Dividend Grower With Very Low Debt Ratios

When we talk about safe dividend stocks, one criteria that makes the company more secure is cash or low debt.

The financial situation of a corporate is very essential for the future success. Only with low debt and cash on banks, a firm has enough potential to act independent. They don't need to look for new capital injections to finance growth or repay debt.

Today I like to show you those large cap stocks with a longer dividend growth history that have the lowest debt-to-equity ratio.

They have extremly low ratios of less than 0.1. Which stocks do you like?

Highest Yielding Dividend Stocks From Nasdaq 100

Did you notice that the Nasdaq hit the 5,000 yesterday? 

Congratulations, what a number. The Nasdaq index compromises many growth stocks, more than the Dow Jones did. 

That's also one of the reasons why the index is well-know for technology and innovation firms. 

But the technology sector isn't particularly known for finding good dividends. Indeed, many of the most exciting technology stocks don't pay a dividend at all.

Assuming they're profitable (an assumption that doesn't always hold), technology companies often funnel their cash back into their business rather than pay shareholders a dividend.

You may also like my articles related to technology dividend stocks. There are a few great ideas in it. Cash, innovations and growth are main topics.

Today I would like to celebrate the 5,000 mark by highlighting some of the highest yielding stocks from the index.

Around half of the index members pay a dividend and of them has a high yield of more than 5 percent. Attached is a list of the highest yielding top 20 stocks from the Nasdaq 100.

Here are my favorites in detail: 

5 Top Dividend Stocks With No Debt But High Cash On Balance Sheet

I hate it when one of my stock holdings cut its dividends. Tesco did it recently and I will lose now 75 percent of my income from the stake. 

For sure, it’s not much because the stock has only a portfolio share of around one percent but I've bought this share in hopes to get a stable output or a rising long-term dividend with low taxation.

Recently I wrote about stocks that have lower debt amounts on their balance sheets. I made this with thoughts in my mind to avoid a future dividend cut. 

Today I will strengthen my criteria and tighten the focus on stocks with no debt and high cash amounts. That's the highest level of safeness every investor could reach.

I found the graphic on US Today with some interesting stocks in terms of cash and debt (look at the end of this article). 

The list shows 26 U.S. stocks with no debt! There are more available on the market but those are some of the biggest and you might know them.

Cash is king and large capitalization too. I love big capitalized stocks because of their good business diversification. Those stocks have often a well diversified product portfolio and great sales teams all over the world. 

Big companies also have more money for research and development and offer more money and social benefits to the best talented people in the world.

If one country or currency suffers, a different one can eliminate the problems with sales growth. No every problem can be solved so easy but investors have a better chance to make a good return.

No debt could also mean more money for shareholders (Dividends or Share Buybacks) or a higher growth. The company can invest into the future by acquisitions or product investments.

In the end, everything is a question of the ability of the management team; a good team can boost the company while a bad head can bring them down.

Below are five of my favorite stocks with no debt and high cash mountains.

15 Large Cap Dividend Stocks With Low Debt I Like In A Low Interest Environment

Large Cap dividend stocks with very low debt and stock beta ratios originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I also cover stocks with low beta ratios, also mentioned as stocks with a lower correlation to the market.

I’ve published a long list with over 120 stocks about large capitalized stocks with safe haven characteristics. For sure, safe is nothing on an angry sea but I believe these could be some values in my screen.

Today I like to show you the lowest leveraged stocks from the safe haven large cap list with a minimum dividend payout of 1 percent.

That’s not much and the low interest environment also keeps the capital and interest income of the corporates at a low level but I think it’s much easier to boost growth and increase future dividends for a low debt corporation than it would be for a high leveraged company.

Fifteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which six have a current buy or better rating.
