The Best Dividend Stocks From The Service Sector

Services Dividend Stocks With High Return On Investments And Big Operating Margins Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Service is characterized by hard work and low margins but there are some companies with wonderful business models that generate double digit margins within the service sector. I think about McDonalds or Starbucks. They created a huge shareholder value due to the global expansion of the brand and realized big economies of scale.

I screened the service sector by stocks with an operating margin and return on investment over 15 percent, a dividend yield over two percent and finally a market capitalization over USD 300 million. Thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which four are high yields and six are recommended to buy or better.
