8 Best Dividend Stock Bets For 2016

After a modest year for stocks in 2015, we need to look for fresh investment ideas in 2016. To find some great dividend-stock ideas, we first looked for companies whose businesses seemed poised for decent sales and earnings growth, even in a still-challenging U.S. economy.

Next, we looked for dedication to rising dividend payments. Though many companies pledge periodic stock buybacks as a way to return capital to investors, dividend payments are commitments—and increasing that commitment says a lot about executives' confidence.

Finally, we sought stocks that appeared ready to deliver a good total return—meaning share-price appreciation plus dividend income. Investors who seek high yield alone often sacrifice share-price growth and dividend growth over time.

By screening the market with the above mentioned criteria, 8 stocks came on our watchlist.

Here are the results...

These 20 Stocks Could Benefit From Higher Rates

The current problem on the market could be descried with the following sentence: Rising rates could let to a falling dollar. 

In contraction, Investors expect the US Dollar to rally, undermining equities and furthering headwinds to S&P 500 EPS and also amplified stress for EM borrowers (USD denom. debt). 

History says that the consensus is wrong and counters intuitively, when the Fed moves to neutral from easy (11 most recent cycles), USD weakened 55% of the time, with a median decline of 7% in the first year.

Below I've implemented screen results of stocks that might benefit from rising rate hikes. Stocks from the screen have fulfilled the following criteria:

Stock selection criteria...

(i) Stock’s price correlation to the USD (DXY Index) from 5/2014 – 3/2015 is less than -0.40

(ii) Mean implied upside based on analyst target prices is positive

(iii) P/E (‘15E and ‘16E) is below 25X but consensus EPS is positive

(iv) FCF yield is above 3%

(v) Company beat consensus EPS expectations the last 2 quarters.

Here are the 20 best yielding results in detail....

These Top Dividend Growth Stocks Should Boost Dividends By 15% Next Year

If you want to know what professional investment analysts predict about the best dividend growth stocks, you need to read the latest study from Goldman Sachs. The investment bank created a dividend growth basket of 50 best stocks with potential.

Goldman's Dividend Growth basket consists of 50 stocks with a median expected 2016 dividend yield of 3%. Goldman expects these companies to raise their dividends by an average of 12% in 2016. In comparison, the median S&P 500 stock has an expected dividend yield of 2.2% and an expected median dividend growth of 7% next year.

The basket has a large-cap bias because larger firms are more likely to pay dividends. Investors should use this basket to identify stocks returning cash to shareholders through strong dividend growth and high dividend yields.

Attached are 9 stocks with potential to grow dividends in 2016 by more than 15%. Those stocks have better fundamentals than 40 others in the basket.

These are the results...

54 Stocks And 4 Funds With A Higher Dividend Payment

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I like it to see dividends grow. It’s a very good sign from the company to give money back to stockholders and share corporate profits.

For the time being, we are in a bullish market and the Federal Reserve is flooding the market with cheap money. These are the main forces for the strong stock market. But a growing dividend is not only a sign of a technical reaction, it’s much more. A dividend growth shows normally that the operating business runs well. Last week, 54 stocks and 4 additional funds announced a higher dividend payment. 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 17.11 percent.
