16 High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks

More often than not, dividend stocks are what form the foundation of any great retirement portfolio. Not only have dividend stocks handily outperformed non-dividend-paying stocks over the long run, but they also offer a number of other advantages that income investors are bound to like.

To begin with, dividend-paying companies often have time-tested business models. A business is unlikely to pay a recurring dividend to investors if its management team didn't believe profits would grow in the future. Thus, dividend stocks are often a beacon of profitability and stability that attract income seekers.

Dividend stocks also help to hedge against inevitable stock market corrections -- there have been 35 stock market corrections of at least 10% since 1950 in the S&P 500 -- and payouts can be reinvested back into more shares of stock via a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, or DRIP. Purchasing more shares of dividend-paying stock with your payout in a repeating cycle can help your nest egg quickly compound in value over time.

Unfortunately, dividend stocks can also harbor a dark side. Income seekers would like the highest dividend yield possible, but they also have to ensure that a payout is sustainable. Dividend yields are a function of a stock's price, meaning a plunging stock price can dramatically lift dividend yields, making them seem attractive, at least on the surface. But, as we know, a plunging stock price could signify a business model that's in trouble. Thus, high-yield dividends, or those with yields of 4% or higher, should be heavily scrutinized by investors.

The yields on dividend stocks rise when their share prices become depressed. That’s an opportunity to chase extra yield. Besides, the best dividend-paying stocks do their most good when they are held for long periods of time. Ideally, the holding period includes many dividend hikes and market cycles.

In the beginning of this New Year, many investors review their portfolios. We all hope for a good year on the market and, most importantly, steady dividend growth increase among our portfolio. I selected some high yielding long term dividend growth stocks I think will perform well in 2017 and will increase their dividend payouts.

7 Safe And Cheap High Yielding Dividend Stocks

The Brexit vote pushed U.S. Treasury rates to record lows and the S&P 500 Index to new record highs, creating a sort of dash for stocks with a modicum of safety.

It's hard to discover nearly safe stocks. The truth is that you will not find any safeness at the stock market. 

There are companies with a more risky growth strategy and companies with lower risk exposure.

Today I will share a couple of stocks with high dividends that might offer a bit safeness for you.

My Favorite Dividend Growth Stocks With Yields Over 4%

Stocks With The Highest Annual Dividend Growth Of The Past 3, 5 and 10 Years

Recently, I showed you how your investment portfolio grows over 30 years if you own sustainable long-term dividend growth stocks. 

The key notice from the article was that if you buy high yielding stocks with fast dividend growth, you could maximize your portfolio return. 

It sounds quite easy but it’s hard to find those stocks because no one of us can look into the future or has crystal ball. 

Today I like to show you those stocks with the highest short, mid and long-term dividend growth of the past 3, 5 and 10 years. 

Over the next upcoming days, I will also deliver a few stocks with the highest 10year dividend growth rate of the most consistent dividend raiser in the market.

The Best Yielding Income Opportunities From The Nasdaq

Investors always like stocks that pay large dividends. Yet for years, those who focused on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index didn't expect much in the way of dividends, since many high-growth companies didn't pay any dividends at all to their shareholders.

Now, even tech companies have gotten on the dividend bandwagon, and you'll find some impressive yields among the Nasdaq's top 100 stocks. Let's take a look at the highest yielding stocks from the technology and growth dominated index.

The attached list is a compilation of next years estimated dividend and their estimated yields from the Nasdas index members. If you find some values in the list, please share it with your social connections.

10 Most Oversold High Yielding Dividend Payer To Look At

Investors are sometimes scared about falling stock prices. I often believe that stock prices fall because many people sell stocks. So what is the real reason for a falling stock price?

I personally don't care about the stock prices despite the fact that I do look several times a day on the market movements. But I don't buy or sell on these price changes.

Market sell-offs could be great opportunity for investors who trust their company and know what the management team is doing.

I know that it is hard to discover the true origin circumstances that caused the stock price loss. And if you buy, don't expect that you will make quick money. You could get hard pain if you buy a falling knife.

The good news is that you will be rewarded if you stay disciplined. Return don't come in months, it will come over years.

Today I like to give you an overview about solid dividend stocks with high yields that have seen a recent sell-off in the recent week.

Here are the results...

11 Dividend Growth Stocks With Low Debt, Solid Growth And Yields Over 4%

All too often, yield-starved investors give in to the temptation of high yield dividend stocks. Dividend yields greater than 5% look like an easy way to grab more current income on the surface, but dividend income is just part of the total return equation.

If a stock with a 6% dividend yield sees its price cut in half, an investor living off dividends in retirement would have been better off purchasing a lower yielding stock with less business risk and volatility, occasionally selling shares to meet his or her cash flow needs.

That's the reason for my today's screen. I've tried to catch some companies with high dividends which are not at risk to cut.

The total amount of debt is one important criterion for a dividend cut. Growth is also an important issue.

Each stock I've researched has a dividend yield over 4% and positive 5 year EPS growth forecasts. In addition, debt-to-equity ratios are under 0.4. Eleven stocks fulfilled my tight criteria of which 3 got a buy or better rating by analysts.

Here are the best yielding results from my research...

A Quick View On The Dogs Of The Nasdaq 100

Recently, I wrote about the current Dogs of the Dow and gave you a nice overview about the cheapest and highest yielding stocks from the large cap index Dow Jones that offer growth potential.

Some of you have agreed by the names I've introduced these but the index members of the Dow Jones still offer true values and long-term growth.

However, today I would like to share the Dogs of the NASDAQ with you.

Right, the cheapest and highest yielding stocks from the technology exchange. A decent number of stocks also pay dividends there. In total, there are 55 dividend stocks, more than half of the members.

The initial yield of the technology dominated index starts at 0.75% and ends at 6.99%, paid by Mattel.

12 Oversold 3%+ Yielding Dividend Stocks As Buying Opportunity

I love it when the market is anxious and everybody sells stocks. That's the moment when panic and emotions rule the manner of actors.

But when stocks fall, it does not necessary mean that stocks are bad. Those moments can change into a great buy opportunity for long-term investors.

When the markets are in panic, investors will sell their stocks below the intrinsic value. Today I like to introduce a few dividend stocks that seem oversold by several technical indicators. I've only focused my efforts on higher capitalized stocks with regular dividend payments.

Dividends are small risk compensation. For sure, if you get only 0.5 percent per quarter, it's a very small compensation but if you buy only stocks with a solid, valuable and predictable business, your risk compensation develops to yield compensation.

These are the top results....

14 High-Yielding Value Picks

Value investors are focused on deep values. They can identify values by looking at the cashflows from the company. If they are strong and reliable, there seems to be good values.

What if we combine the value with high yields in the future? I've tried to select several stocks that are classified by Reuters with high yields in the future.

In addition, those stocks have a good finance situation, a very solid and predictable business and comfortable profitability. 14 stocks fulfilled my criteria. Attached is also a sheet of all results with the most important fundamentals.

10 Highest Yielding NASDAQ 100 Stocks Each Yielding Over 3%

The Nasdaq 100 has historically been "overweight" the technology sector as compared to the S&P 500. The highest yielding Nasdaq 100 stocks are no exception. Eight out of the top highest yielding Nasdaq 100 stocks are in the technology sector.

I personally like technology stocks because of their high free cash flows but the great lack is the unpredictability of the technology change.

Each well established technology could be useless within the next five years. It's great potential for new companies but also a big threat for established well proven stocks.

Below is a detailed overview of the 10 top yielding stocks, each growth investor with need of cash income should know.

These are the results:

The Highest Yielding Picks From Goldman Sachs 40 Cheapest Stocks List

The big guys and professionals must know it better because they spent more time and money on their research. As a result from its work, Goldman Sachs recently announced a list with the cheapest stocks investors should consider.

The firm has analysts who are highly ranked, as well as some who are ranked behind their analyst peers. Still, Goldman Sachs only caters to wealthy individuals and to institutional investors. 

Now the firm has released its list of “cheapest stocks” right now. This list is based solely upon the projected upside to the firm’s price target versus the current share price.

I don't care much of those lists because they are so long that I get tears in my eyes. Below are the highest yielding picks from Goldman's cheapest stocks list. Which 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.

Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On September 12, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.
