Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Past Week

12 Consumer Goods Stocks With Big Dividend Potential

Consumer stocks with low debt and dividend payout ratios to boost current yields originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I love stocks form the consumer goods sector because there are so many companies with a high quality and low cyclic business model. Around 3/4 of my investments have a deep relationship to the consumer sector.

Today I would like to finish my monthly screen about low debt stocks with small dividend payouts. I’ve tried to compile the top picks from the major capital sectors with high potential of a growing dividend.

Here you can find the links to the articles:

· 10 Utilities With The Most Solid Debt And Payout Figures To Boost Future Dividends

The consumer sector offers 12 stocks with a low dividend payout of less than 20 percent combined with a debt to equity ratio below 0.2. Nine of them have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

I own none of the mentioned stocks. This could be reasonable to the fact that most of the results have a very small market capitalization. I do love big companies with strong cash flows and high market entry barriers but those have also high debt burdens.

Consumer Goods Stocks With Highest YTD Performance And Cheap Price Ratios

Consumer goods dividend stocks with highest year-to-date performance originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Consumer dividend stocks are my favorite investments when I think about how to make money on the stock market. I prefer those stocks because of the low cyclic they have. Most of them generate stable cash flows and pay good dividends as well as buy own shares back. Not to forget: They still have possibilities to grow in a developed market.

Today I would close my monthly screening serial of the best performing dividend stocks from several sectors with the consumer goods sector. These are the latest articles of the serial:

· Basic Material Dividend Stocks With Highest YTD Performance

· Industrial Dividend Stocks With Highest Performance

· 20 Financials With The Highest YTD-Performance

· Services Dividend Stocks With Highest YTD-Performance And Cheap Price Ratios

· The Best Performing Utilities And Which Of Them Are Still Cheap

· The Best Performing Technology Dividend Stocks And Which Of Them Are Still Cheap

· The Best Healthcare Dividend Stocks And Which Of Them Are The Cheapest

The 20 best performing dividend stocks from the consumer sector with a market capitalization over USD 200 million gained from 44.89 percent to 112.16 percent this year. The best performing non dividend paying stock is more an industrial stock than a consumer company. It’s the electric vehicle producer Tesla. The company’s stock price quadrupled since the start of the year. The top dividend payer is the multi-marketing level company Nu Skin Enterprises.

Despite the strong stock price increase, 16 of the top 20 performing sector dividend stocks still have a buy or better rating.
