50 Fastest Growing Dividend Stocks In May 2013

Stocks with highest dividend growth originally researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. When a company raises dividends, it’s always a good sign. A firm with a growing dividend let your passive income grow and could put you on the next level of your financial freedom.

But more important than a dividend hike is the intensiveness of the dividend growth. A one percent hike each year is good but it won’t help you over the time. What you need is a stronger growth, something in the range around the 10 percent level.

Today I run my screen of the 50 fastest dividend growers from last month. Below the results are again some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates. All stocks still have a double digit-growth rate. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 49.42 percent. The average yield is at 3.47 percent.

41 Stocks And Funds Hiked Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, additional 41 stocks and funds announced to raise dividends. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.59 percent. On the list are some big Players from the financial sector like JP Morgan Chase or W.R. Berkley. Also the tech giant Hewlett-Packard raised its dividend by 10 percent despite the operational problems. Twelve companies announced to pay a first dividend ever and ten stocks reduced its payments last week.

The good thing is that dividend growth is definitely stronger established than dividend cuts.

Cheapest Dividend Paying Large Caps As of May 2013

Cheap large capitalized stocks with high growth originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The markets getting more expensive and my research for real bargains or cheap valuated stocks rise. Today I like to use my monthly screen of the cheapest large capitalized stocks.

Buy low and sell high is the basic philosophy behind. But its very difficult to know when stocks are cheap. In markets that are going up for years, the only reason to find cheap stocks is to look at the future growth. A growing company let the P/E ratio shrink. A current P/E of 20 can come down to 13 with growing earnings per share. Growth is only one criterion of hundreds.

My criteria for the cheap Large Cap screen are:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Expected Earnings per share growth over 10 percent for the next year.

- P/E ratio under 15

- P/S and P/B ratio under 2

- Positive Dividends

Fourteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which nine are currently recommended to buy. The screen is dominated by foreign stock; eight come from abroad. Another characteristic is that basic material stocks are mostly represented. The fear of falling commodity prices due to Chinas slowing growth is the reason behind.

Twelve companies fulfilled these criteria of which eight are recommended to buy. Two of the results have a high yield.

They are right. If you buy a stocks with a low valuation compared to the intrinsic value, you can make a solid return when other investors identify the gap and jump on the stock. 

Cheapness could have several reasons and can be expressed with many fundamentals. I am focused in my research on classical fundamentals like P/E, P/B and P/S.

100 Most Bought Stocks By Popular Investment Gurus

100 most bought stocks by investment professionals originally published on Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. 

I personally follow the activities from Warren Buffett. He is a highly trusted investor with a proven long-term track record. I also look at Carl Ichan’s (estimated net worth of USD 20 billion) stock purchases because he is one younger investor who can replace Warren Buffett's presence one day. 

Both have a different view on the capital market but they are very successful in the way how they act. These two guys are only an example of people who have build a great career on Wall-Street and developed to a top investment guru.

Investment gurus are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management. They became popular by big returns and spectacular investment strategies. I also talk about investors like George Soros. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows.

In order to find the hottest stocks at the investment premier league, I made a screen of the biggest stock buys from 49 super investors over the recent six months and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list. They all combined bought 569 stocks within the recent half year.

The top stock picks are now Berkshire Hathaway and AIG. Berkshire was bought by 14 gurus and AIG stakes were increased by 12 investors. Technology dividend stocks and insurers are hot picks within the guru scene. 71 of the top 100 guru stock buys pay dividends.

17 Cheap Growth Stocks From The Basic Material Sector With Current Dividend Payments

Basic material dividend stocks with highest expected growth and low price ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Good stocks to buy are hard to find. But what are good stocks?

Good investment indicators

Primarily it’s a question of your investment philosophy or screening criteria. I am focused on dividend stocks with great yields, strong market positions and low limitations to grow. I also invest into stocks with no yields or low dividend payments.

Don’t look at the yield alone

The dividend yield is only an expression and should never be a single investment criterion. I know so many people who only look at the P/E ratio and the dividend yield and argue that the stock is cheap at a P/E below 10. That’s too easy. If the company has no debt, you should look the enterprise value.

Growth is the value driver

More important is growth. If a company doubles every 3 years sales and earnings, it’s normal that the stock is highly valuated. Stock valuation is a very complex area.

Today I like to screen some opportunities from the basic material sector. 595 stocks are available with a relationship to the raw material sector – nearly 300 of them pay dividends. The average sector P/E ratio amounts to 11.08 at a yield of 2.98 percent.

I screened large capitalized stocks with very high expected earnings per share growth for the next five years (over 10 percent) and a low forward P/E ratio of less than 15. Seventeen stocks fulfilled my criteria of which twelve are currently recommended to buy. Two High-Yields are below the results.

Best Basic Material Dividend Stock Buy Picks For 2013

Basic material stocks became popular with the increase in raw material prices due to the strong growth of China from the recent year. Not only directly commodity mining stocks exploded, also supplier of mining equipment started to boom. The basic material sector is a small investment field with around 600 listed companies. I made a list of the best stocks picks for next year. My criteria are:

- Forward P/E under 15

- Past 5Y Sales growth over 10 percent

- Earnings per share growth for the next five years over 10 percent

- Operating Margin over 10 percent

- Market capitalization above USD 10 billion

Nine higher capitalized stocks remained the screening criteria of which eight are currently recommended to buy. The results are dominated by stocks from the oil & gas equipment and services industry. I am not sure if these picks could be the best growth driver for your private wealth. Sure, America is expected to have a current energy boom due to shale gas.
