16 Income Growth Stocks With A PEG Below One

With the stock market in nearly nonstop rally mode over the past six years, investors haven't needed to look far to uncover an abundance of growth stocks. 

But not all growth stocks are created equal: While some could still deliver extraordinary gains, others appear considerably overvalued, and might instead burden investors with hefty losses. 

What exactly is a growth stock? Though it's arbitrary, I'll define a growth stock as any company forecast to grow profits by 10% or more annually during the next five years. To decide what's "cheap," I'll use the PEG ratio, which compares a company's price-to-earnings ratio to its future growth rate. 

Any figure around or below one could signal a cheap stock. Attached you can find a list of dividend growth stocks with a history of consecutive dividend hikes of more than 5 years and a PEG ratio below one. 

Each stock from the list is a Midcap with a market cap over 2 billion. I've tried to exclude all lower capitalized stocks out of the screen in order to keep the big risks away.

In total, there are 16 companies from my high quality dividend stock screen that fulfilled my criteria.

Here is the list of stocks with a PEG ratio below one....

Attached you will find a nice overview of the best dividend growth stocks of the recent decade sorted by short-term, mid-term and long-term dividend growth.

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.

19 Dividend Stocks With A Cash Return Yield Over 10%

Dividends and share buybacks help increase value for people holding a stock, and there's a lot of money to be had as companies shovel record amounts of cash back to shareholders.

We recognize activist investors often agitate for firms to return excess cash to shareholders via buybacks. However, while repurchases may lift share prices in the near term, they are a questionable use of cash at the current time when the median S&P 500 multiple is so high. In our view, acquisitions – particularly in the form of stock deals – represent a more compelling strategic use of cash than buybacks given the current stretched valuation of US equities.

I've compiled a list of the top 19 stocks, all with a total cash return yield of more than 10%. Below include how much of the return is from dividends or buybacks. You'll also find a comment about cash returns from company executives on the during their latest quarterly earnings call.

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.

5 High Growth Dividend Paying Companies

Analysts are constantly using quantitative screens to search the stock universe for what is the best-performing category. I personally look for past performances and I agree that each stock with a wonderful past performance give me a better feeling when I put money into the stock or company.

There is also a great lack of fast rising dividends.

High-dividend growth is the growth between trailing four-quarter total common dividends and the year-ago trailing four-quarter total. 

Here are the five companies with the highest percentage of dividend growth over that time. Maybe you find some interesting names on the selection.

These are the results:

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:

5 Undervalued Dividend Stocks By Graham and Buffett

Defensive Investors are defined as investors who are not able or willing to do substantial research into individual investments, and therefore need to select only the companies that present the least amount of risk.

When we look for undervalued companies, we often use metrics from Warren Buffett or his teacher Benjamin Graham. Both were great investors and their work was inspirational for millions of small pocket investors like me or you.

Below are five stock picks that met the criteria from the old investment gurus.

Here are the results....

7 Stocks With Current Shareholder Yields Of 15% Or More

You know that dividends are essential but buybacks also play a significant role in creating shareholder value.

A low dividend doesn't mean that the corporate pay low amounts of cash to shareholders. Some companies decided to buy back own shares. The shareholder yield (dividend yield plus buyback yield) is essential and tells the truth.

Today I would like to show you those 7 stocks with the highest shareholder yields. I'm not talking about yields of 5 percent or so. I'm taking the extreme of 15 percent or more. The results came from Goldman Sachs latest Total Cash Return to Shareholders list from April 23, 2015.

These are the top results in detail:

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.

Dividends And Growth Combined: 5 Top Stock Picks That Could Outperform The Market

Who’s not dreaming about a long-term orientated portfolio that increases in value and pays you each year a higher dividend that beats inflation? I do!

The good think is that it's possible to create such a big income source with small money. I've also created a virtual portfolio with income focus in order show how dividend growth investing can look like.

Back to my daily stock idea that I often publish on this blog. I've created some ideas what stocks delivered good returns in the past and can also possibly outperform the overall market within the next years. It’s a combination of growth and dividends. These are my main criteria:

- Market cap is greater than $100 million.

- Dividend yield is greater than the dividend yield of the industry.

- The payout ratio is less than 100%.

- Past 5 years dividend growth rate is bigger than the dividend growth of the industry.

- Average annual earnings growth estimates for the next 5 years is greater than 10%.

- Past 5 years EPS growth is greater than the average industry value.

Attached are my five favorite picks with more fundamentals. The screen delivered some more results like the luxury brand company Coach, the German industrial conglomerate Siemens or the home improvement stock Leggett & Platt.

19 Cheaply Valuated Stocks With Forces To Become The Next Top Dividend Grower On The Market

Dividend growth stocks on the move to become a real long-term dividend grower originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth is a great and powerful tool for all normal and small investors to participate in a honest and passive way from the economic success of a corporate.

America is definitely the country with the highest amount of stocks that share profits with shareholders fairly. Believe me; I've seen thousands of companies all around the world where investors get robbed by management teams, lead investors or even the government.

My investment focus is on dividend growth stocks but over the recent months and years, we all have seen a significant increase in price multiples. Most of the best long-term dividend growers are valuated with a P/E of 20 or more. If you pay such high ratios, you will definitely not get a good inflation and risk-adjusted return over the long-run if you invest in a slow growing business.

Today, I try to find additional dividend stocks that are near to achieve a consecutive dividend growth history of at least five years.

Around 150 stocks are available with 4 years of dividend growth. With the next hike they could become a real Dividend Challenger. My hope is that some of them are cheaper than the older and well-established stocks.

You can find attached a list of all large capitalized stocks with a low forward price to earnings ratio of less than 15. Only 19 companies fulfilled these criteria of which nearly all (17 shares) are recommended to buy.

These 42 Stocks Planning To Pay More Dividends

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Last week, around 42 companies announced a high dividend. I published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 15.51 percent.

It’s always good to see how the dividend growth strategy works. Some of the dividend growers have raised their payments forty times and more. The biggest names come from the oil and gas sector. Eni and Total are the two biggest stocks followed by the British spirit maker Diageo.

Five of the results have a double-digit dividend yield and seven yielding above five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend more than half, 26 in total, of the dividend growth stocks.

Facebook Is Too Expensive! These Technology Stocks Create A Better Shareholder Value

Technology Stocks With Low P/E Ratios An Best Dividends Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Everybody is talking about Facebook and the USD 104 billion market valuation at revenues of nearly USD 4 billion. But, what happens if Facebook’s growth slows before the company reaches the USD 100 billion mark in revenues? You will never get investment back.

If you like to invest in stocks with a higher degree of safeness, you should take a look at stocks from forgotten industries like the wireless communication industry. Certainly, the growth is not as high as the growth of social network companies or software stocks but they pay a much higher dividend and it helps you to hedge your investment. What alternatives are available within the dividend category?

However, I made a screen of the best yielding U.S. based technology stocks with a low P/E ratio (below 15) and a market capitalization over USD 300 million. Below the results are many semiconductor stocks. If you include stocks from abroad, you find a lot of stocks with high yields from the telecom services industry. Eighteen stocks remained of which eleven have a yield over three percent and the same number of stocks are recommended to buy.
