15 Long-Term Dividend Growth Stocks That Could Reach A 10% Dividend Yield Soon

Achieving a double-digit dividend yield isn't a complicated process, however two key ingredients are essential. First, you'll need to identify and invest in high quality businesses that will grow their dividends for the foreseeable future.

Ideally you're looking for dividend growth of at least 5% per year. Then, you'll need significant patience. A 4% yield won't grow into a 10% yield overnight. You're most likely looking at a 10-15-year holding period to see a 4% or 5% yield transform into double-digits. If you get panicked out of the market at the first sign of volatility, this strategy will be much harder to execute.

However with a little bit of research into quality dividend growth stocks and a buy-and-hold strategy, you'll have every chance of being able to enjoy sizeable returns in the future.

However, what if there was an investing strategy that allowed you to enjoy yields as high as 10%, 15% or even 20%, without taking on any excessive risk or investing in high yielding stocks that could possibly see their dividends cut? The good news is that such a strategy exists.

Welcome to the world of dividend growth investing. Attached you will find a couple of stocks that might achieve a 10% dividend yield in the near future. 

Each of the stocks I show you have a dividend yield of at least 2% while earnings are expected to grow by more than 10 percent for the next five years. In addition, every stock has managed to grow dividends over a period of more than 10 years without a break.

These are the results...

17 Stocks With Strong Balance Sheets And Growing Dividends

It's better to put money into stocks with growing dividends and strong balance sheets and a solid outlook. For sure you should not expect high rolling returns at triple digit rates but over decades you can expect to grow your invesment.

Stressed assets look like big bargains but you have a face a much bigger risk. Today I would like to focus on those stocks that offer less riks due to a strong balance sheet.

Stong balance sheets have many stocks. Some got a fresh capital injection and swim in cash but their business is cyclic and loses money. Those stocks are not the kind of investment I'm looking for.

In today's screen I've focused on stocks with a 10 year consecutive dividend growth. It's a strong indicator for a stable business.

Here are the best yielding results...

20 Low Yielding Dividend Achievers That Might Deliver A Better Total Return Than High-Yield Stocks

This blog is mainly focused on high-quality dividend paying stocks that delivered a solid trustful dividend growth history in the past.

I'm also focused on higher yielding stocks because I do believe that those companies offer a better risk compensation and their business model allows it to generate a higher amount of free cash which could be distributed to shareholders.

But you need to look more into the balance sheets and income statements of a company in order to identify such a cash flow strength. 

A high yield doesn't mean that you will also get a high total return. If you get big dividends but the stock price falls, your return will turn negative.

The attached chart spells out the cost to the investor of focusing on yield over a long period of investing history. 

Investors who emphasized yield when purchasing stocks from this group of beloved cherry-picked Dividend Growth stocks missed out on earning the equivalent of a year's worth of a nice middle-class salary over the 18 years studied here.

You might see that a portfolio with lower yielding stocks delivered more total return due to a larger stock price appreciation than higher yielding stocks with lower growth possibilities.

Today I would like to introduce a few lower yielding Dividend Achievers with a fantastic future prediction. The attached list ranks midcap plus Dividend Achievers by its future EPS growth forecast. Only stocks with a debt to equity ratio under 1 were observed.

Here are the 20 top results, sorted by growth...

19 Nearly Debt-Free Dividend Achievers To Consider When Interest Rates Rise

Recently I began looking for dividend paying companies that carried no debt (or very little) on their books.

Not every company that I found would fit into my portfolio but several have found a place on my watch list and could prove to be quality investments over a long time period.

A company may have no debt for many reasons, not all are a positive for an investor. From an investor's stand point right away we see the benefit of a company having no debt because if you choose to invest in that company you are not incurring any share of their debt.

By remaining skeptical and cautious we must ask ourselves how they came to have no debt. It could be that their products sell so well they generate enough revenue to cover all their expenses.

On the other end of the spectrum it could be that the company is doing so poorly that nobody is willing to lend them money.

In no way am I saying that debt is bad for a company, or even an individual. Debt can be a tax advantage for many corporations as the interest payments provide a great tax break.

Companies often also utilize debt to finance their operations rather than their equity. If companies continue to sell additional shares to finance their operations it can destroy shareholder value, especially when that money raised does not go toward improving revenue and growth.

On a broader view, companies with no debt and high amounts of cash are better positioned for higher interest rates. If interest payments go up, the company gets more money from its bank and don't need to pay higher loan rates.

Attached you will find the best dividend growth stocks that are nearly debt-free in relation to its equity. The ratio I've discovered was the debt-to-equity ratio. Each of the stocks I've researched has a very low ratio of less than 0.1.

At the end of this article, you can find the full list with more fundamentals of all 19 results. Below are the 5 best yielding stocks in detail.

Here are the results...

The Best Dividend Stocks from the Business Service Industry To Buy Now

The Best Yielding Shares from the Business Services Sector Originally At “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. An interesting industry is in my view the business services industry. Nearly 100 companies are related to the sector of which only 30 pay dividends to its shareholders. The total capitalization of the sector amounts to $7.25 trillion. The average dividend yield within the industry amounts to 25.4 and the yield reach 1.1 percent.

I like the industry because of the high profit margins, which corresponds at 10.20 percent and is one of the highest values in the sector. The most known stocks are Visa (V), MasterCard (MA) and Moody’s (MCO). Business service is often financial networked.

I made a screen of the best yielding stocks within the business services industry. In order to reduce the huge amount of 30 dividend paying business service stocks, I selected only those with double-digit earnings per share growth. As a result, sixteen stocks remain of which market analysts trust in eleven companies and recommend them to buy now.
