12 Good Dividend Growth Investments Now

Someone recently asked me to "let them know what my next investment was going to be, so they could get in at the price I pay." I usually keep a running list of dividend stocks that I want to buy, along with target prices, but I hadn't updated the list in a while. So I decided to do a little research and see what sort of compelling buys I could find in today's environment.

I used the following screening filters to give me a starting list of dividend growth stocks that I might want to consider:

Yield between 4% and 8%  

1-year dividend growth rate at least 10% 

Recent average dividend growth rate at least 8% 

Exclude All MLPs 

These were the results...

Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Recent Week

The Highest Yielding S&P 500 And The Dogs of the S&P 500

While you wait—and wait—for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates, you can collect generous checks by investing in dividend stocks. And you don’t have to wander far to find attractive payers. Just look at Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index. 

Of its 500 member companies, 84% pay dividends, up from 75% a decade ago. On top of that, many of the index’s constituents are rewarding shareholders by boosting their payouts; so far this year, 169 S&P companies have done so.

There are stocks on the S&P 500 that pay nearly 10%, but that doesn't make them great investments.

The average stock on the S&P 500 index pays a dividend yield of 2.41%, but some are paying much more. Here's a chart of the 10 highest-paying dividend stocks on the S&P 500, and which ones might be the best choices to buy and hold for the long term.

Here are the highest yielding S&P 500 and the Dogs of the S&P 500...

20 Oversold And Cheap Dividend With Yields Over 3%

The only thing better than oversold stocks are oversold dividend stocks. The dividend, even if it’s a small one, acts as a hedge if you decide to purchase the stock and the trade moves against you.

I do a screen for oversold dividend stocks from time to time, not only because I’m hunting for value, but because oftentimes some names turn up that I’ve never heard of. There’s nothing I like more than a new stock with either a really boring name or one that piques my interest.

As an investor who finds value stocks to be less risky with higher chances of yielding market-beating returns, I’m always on the lookout for stocks that are oversold. Sometimes a lousy stock gets rightfully sold off and you should avoid it.

However, sometimes a stock gets taken down because investors are reacting emotionally. They sell first and ask questions later. That can create great opportunities for investors who are seeking a good stock at an undervalued price.

Other times, you have a stock that is subject to things like fluctuating commodity prices, but is likely to get back up once external factors stabilize.

Sometimes you might get lucky, and find that oversold stock that also pays a dividend. If you are correct in your assessment, you may get paid that dividend while you wait for the market to realize how wrong it was and send the stock back up.

Here are 20 interesting oversold dividend stocks worthy of consideration:

The Best Opportunities From The Retail Sector

Physical retailers took it on the chin last year. The retail industry is being disrupted at a rapid pace, due to a shift in consumer buying preferences.

Shopping malls are losing a great deal of customer traffic to online retailers like Amazon and others. Internet retailers often have the same products for lower prices, all while offering consumers the convenience of shopping at home.

This has taken a steep toll on share prices of brick-and-mortar retailers, particularly those that rely on shopping malls.

Although it might seem like Amazon is unstoppable, there are still physical retailers that remain highly profitable. Many of them are aggressively investing in e-commerce to fight back against Amazon and internet retail more broadly.

This could set the stage for a retail rebound in 2017…or not?

With that in mind, the following 7 retail stocks are cheap, generate solid profits, and offer high dividend yields to boot.

13 Great Safe Dividend Stocks With Yields Over 4%

When the price of a dividend stock climbs, its yield falls. As a result, a rising stock market, such as we've had of late, can make it harder for income investors to find attractive dividend payers.

Indeed, the current dividend yield on Standard & Poor's 500-stock index is just 2.1%, down from 2.3% a year ago. For retirees dependent on investment income, a 2.1% yield won't even keep up with inflation in 2017.

True, investors can buy stocks with unusually high yields, but such names typically come with greater risks. A too-good-to-be-true yield can be a red flag about a company's financial health and an indicator that the dividend isn't sustainable.

That's why dependable, high-quality stocks with above-average dividend yields are such important components of a retirement portfolio. Here are four great dividend stocks that are paying double the yield of the blue-chip S&P 500 index.

Attached, we've tried to compile a couple of stocks which combines both, a high yield, growth and some kind of safeness.

These are the results...

16 High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks

More often than not, dividend stocks are what form the foundation of any great retirement portfolio. Not only have dividend stocks handily outperformed non-dividend-paying stocks over the long run, but they also offer a number of other advantages that income investors are bound to like.

To begin with, dividend-paying companies often have time-tested business models. A business is unlikely to pay a recurring dividend to investors if its management team didn't believe profits would grow in the future. Thus, dividend stocks are often a beacon of profitability and stability that attract income seekers.

Dividend stocks also help to hedge against inevitable stock market corrections -- there have been 35 stock market corrections of at least 10% since 1950 in the S&P 500 -- and payouts can be reinvested back into more shares of stock via a Dividend Reinvestment Plan, or DRIP. Purchasing more shares of dividend-paying stock with your payout in a repeating cycle can help your nest egg quickly compound in value over time.

Unfortunately, dividend stocks can also harbor a dark side. Income seekers would like the highest dividend yield possible, but they also have to ensure that a payout is sustainable. Dividend yields are a function of a stock's price, meaning a plunging stock price can dramatically lift dividend yields, making them seem attractive, at least on the surface. But, as we know, a plunging stock price could signify a business model that's in trouble. Thus, high-yield dividends, or those with yields of 4% or higher, should be heavily scrutinized by investors.

The yields on dividend stocks rise when their share prices become depressed. That’s an opportunity to chase extra yield. Besides, the best dividend-paying stocks do their most good when they are held for long periods of time. Ideally, the holding period includes many dividend hikes and market cycles.

In the beginning of this New Year, many investors review their portfolios. We all hope for a good year on the market and, most importantly, steady dividend growth increase among our portfolio. I selected some high yielding long term dividend growth stocks I think will perform well in 2017 and will increase their dividend payouts.

32 Of 60 S&P 500 Dogs Have Cash Margins To Cover Dividends

“Dogs of the Dow” is a popular investment strategy. There are thousands other or similar strategies out there trying to beat the market by finding undervalued stocks without deep research.

The approach is simple and easy. On seeking alpha, there are many writers creating great screens with attractive stocks. 

Attached you will find a list of dogs from the S&P500. A dog by definition from the article is a stock from the S&P 500 with a dividend yield higher than their peers and lower than their historical average.

High yields also under pressure of dividend cuts. In order to eliminate those risks, the author created the safety margin rule. This ratio shows how much of the dividend yield is covered by the free cash flow yield. A ratio below 100% tells us that the dividend is paid with free cash, generated by operating activities.

Check out the dogs with high safety margins here...

20 Cheap Dividend Challenger Dogs With Yields Up To 11.79%

If income is your investment objective, the deck is stacked against you, as interest rates remain velcroed to record lows. But there are attractive dividend stocks out there, provided you can commit for the long run. 

The Dividend Growth stocks from 5 to 50 years of consecutive dividend growth are the most popular stocks within the long-term income asset class.

I often write about stocks with a longer investment period and one basic approach is to look at the past performance of a business in order to develop future prospects of the firm. 

I believe that a good past performance tells us something about the quality of the business, the market barriers, brands and consumer loyalty. It also tells us something about volume products and the art of business, the magic formula about selling a product.

Today I like to introduce some of the highest yielding stocks with cheap price mutiples from the Dividend Challengers list. Each of the stocks has increased dividends by more than 5 years in a row.

These are the best dogs from the Dividend Challengers list...

15 High Yielding Cheap Stocks By Price To Free Cashfow

It's no secret that dividend-yielding stocks are the cornerstones of a solid retirement portfolio. Usually, such stocks represent ownership in stalwart businesses that pay shareholders on a quarterly basis. 

Those payments not only offer downside protection, but they can also compound returns over time. Still, one of the dangers of dividend investing is chasing after high yields. 

Case in point: The 10 stocks listed below have the highest yields of all the companies in the S&P 500, but not all of them are worth your investing dollars. In many cases, there's a good reason such stocks have high yields -- because there's a lot of risk involved. If you're a dividend investor, there's nothing more important than free cash flow (FCF). 

This represents the amount of money a company was able to put in its pocket at the end of the year, minus capital expenditures. It is from FCF that dividends are paid, and investors should generally aim for companies that use less than 85% of their FCF to pay dividends. 

Attached you will find a couple of stocks with a low price multiple in relation to its free cash flow. Each of the listed stocks has a dividend yield over 4 percent, a market capitalization over 2 billion and a debt-to-equity ratio below 1.

These are the results...

7 Safe And Cheap High Yielding Dividend Stocks

The Brexit vote pushed U.S. Treasury rates to record lows and the S&P 500 Index to new record highs, creating a sort of dash for stocks with a modicum of safety.

It's hard to discover nearly safe stocks. The truth is that you will not find any safeness at the stock market. 

There are companies with a more risky growth strategy and companies with lower risk exposure.

Today I will share a couple of stocks with high dividends that might offer a bit safeness for you.

Here are the results...

17 Profitable Growing High-Yielding Stocks

Growth is important for many investment strategies. More important is that the firm has a profitable growth. 

Today I like to come back to my high-yield session. I like to screen companies with a positive return on assets and growing earnings. 

The market cap of each company should be bigger than 2 billion. That's in my view enough to keep the big risks of smaller capitalized stocks away.

In addition, the debt-to-equity ratio should be under one.

Only seventeen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which financials and basic materials are dominating the screen.

Here are my favorites of the results...

4 Top High-Yielding Dividend Stocks With Buy Rating

While the post-Brexit rally has been outstanding, the market looks very overbought and ready to digest some of the big gains we have seen.

The good thing for investors is there is absolutely nothing wrong with that, and taking profits now makes very good sense. The question is what to do with the proceeds.

Cash is useless from a dividend standpoint, and the Treasury market is more overbought than the stock market.

However, good blue chips trading way off the highs may be a good answer. While the rising tide lifts all boats metaphor is usually correct, there are plenty of solid companies, some that reported great earnings, that are trading way below 52-week highs.

Today we screened our database and found four stocks rated Buy with dividends of at least 4% that fit in the not-overbought club, and they have solid upside to the current price targets.

6 High-Quality Dividend Bargains For High-Income Investors

Retirees want their portfolios to provide safe, consistent, reliable income that grows faster than the pace of inflation. 

Retirees want investments that will protect their nest egg, allow them to sleep easy at night, and provide steady income. Dividend stocks perfectly match retirement investor needs. 

Dividend stocks can also lead to early retirement. Investing in high quality dividend growth stocks provides retirees with consistent, reliable, growing dividend income. But… Not all dividend stocks are created equal. Some are high risk – high yield stocks. 

They can be appealing to retirees, but they are dangerous. The last thing you need in retirement is for your nest egg to get scrambled. Other dividend stocks have fantastic growth potential and a high degree of safety – but have very low yields.

From time to time, stocks go on sale. Over the last year, the S&P 500 has remained roughly unchanged, even as the business of many companies has improved.

For that reason, investors looking for a bargain have many stocks to choose from. Let's take a look at six promising companies trading at modest valuations.

These are my ideas...
