7 Good Running Companies That May Pay A Dividend For The First Time

Dividends are great but not all companies pay a dividend. Why? Well, there are many reasons, some might put all free cash-flow into the business in order to boost growth or they are buying back own shares and increases your stake in the company.

Those activities make only sense whey they have a stable running and continuous growing business like McDonalds or Coca Cola.

The second reason why a corporate pays no dividend is because they do not earn money and make losses. That's a really bad issue and I can tell you that it doesn't make sense to put money into a loss-generating machine.

Back to the topic of this article, today I like to introduce 7 stocks with a forward-orientated business that did not pay dividends buy may do it in the near future. It's always great to see what kind of stocks may appear on your dividend radar before others might see it.

Cracking The Best Healthcare Dividend Stock Secret

This Weekend my eyes and thoughts curved around the Healthcare sector. 

I read several interesting articles from the sector, mostly about the biotech’s and new Hepatitis C drugs from Gilead, Sovaldi and Harvoni.

Those are very expensive drugs with potential to kill the current medical systems but they also generate tons of cash for their corporate.

I also noticed that the Healthcare sector grows at a much faster pace than the economy does, with 10+ percent. How can you benefit from this trend? I don't know. Prices are high, even on free cash flow basis.

Second, the old synthetic drug cash cow system from Pfizer doesn't work anymore. PFE is losing revenues. Even Teva, a generic drug manufacturer, struggles.

- EPS growth next five years: over 5 percent

- Sales growth past five years: over 5 percent

- Positive Dividend

Why You Should Look At These 16 Stocks With Cheap Free Cash Flows

When you put money into the market, you should be aware of the market valuation. One of the major problems in valuation is definitely to predict future cash-flows.

Nobody of us has a crystal-ball and no one can predict the future.

The second problem is that there are companies that must invest massively into the business model in order to boost growth or to replace old machines or buildings.

Investors often calculate with free cash flows. Those are the real income of the company, available for dividends, buybacks or mergers and acquisitions.

Today I like to introduce the cheapest Dividend Achievers with a low price to free cash flow of less than 15.

16 companies fulfilled my criteria of which four have a dividend yield over 3 percent. The most of the results come from the property and casualty insurance industry.

Insurer generates massive cash but they have also big problems with decreasing premiums and increasing competition. There are always good reasons why some companies are cheap.

3 Unbelievable Dividend Champions With Zero Debt And Promising Payout Growth

Investors should be careful while investing in stocks under different sectors. You might be tempted to invest in stocks that pay out high dividends, but what you also need to check is whether these companies have any debts or not.

If a company has huge debts, you must strictly stay away from it, however high its dividends are. Such companies cannot be trusted upon to pay out high dividends in the future as the cash flow that they generate would be used for settling debts.

A company that pays out a reasonable rate of dividend and has very little debts is still a better choice. However the best choice would be a company with absolutely no debt at all. Are there any companies like these? If yes, which ones are best in terms of growth?

Today I show you the fastest growing Dividend Champions with zero debt. Those stocks have a double-digit earnings growth forecast for the next five years as well as a low debt to equity ratio of less than 0.1.

8 Dividend Picks With A Predictable Growing Business

I like growing stocks which give returns back to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.
Both are very popular and shareholder-friendly activities.

Attached is a fresh list from today's screen I've created. I was looking for solid yielding stocks with good fundamentals and modest growing sales and income.

8 U.S. based stocks appeared on my screen. Also on the list were two German Car makers, Daimler and BMW. Those are too cyclic for me and they cause much CAPEX.

The screening criteria looks a little bit like a safe haven screen but stocks are risky in general. I've written in the past about stocks with a low beta ratio. That's a great measure to evalueate stocks by their risk in relation to the overall market.

These are my highlights from the dividend screen:
