Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Recent Week

8 Interesting Income Stocks For Investors With A Long Horizon

When it comes to building long-term wealth, there is no better means than the stock market. 

Even during times of massive social, economic, and geopolitical instability, blue-chip dividend stocks have shown an incredible ability to climb “the wall of worry.”

However, even better than dividend stocks in general are dividend growth stocks, which studies have found to outperform the broader market over time.

This is because companies that pay growing dividends, such as Dividend Aristocrats, need to be more careful and selective with their capital allocation, meaning maintain stronger balance sheets and only invest in the best growth opportunities.

Of course, finding great dividend growth stocks, and building a high-quality dividend portfolio isn’t always easy. You need to not just focus on the size of the current yield and potential payout growth potential but also make sure that a company’s earnings and cash flows can make the dividend reliable and secure.

The following is a look at nine fresh-faced dividend stocks that have only begun a regular payout sometime over the past five years:

40 Dividend Stocks With Potential To Boost Future Payments

In volatile markets, investors look for both growth and income in their portfolios. This can be achieved by honing in on companies that not only pay dividends but have been consistently increasing their payout. 

Stocks that have a history of enhancing shareholder returns through consistent dividend hikes make an investor’s portfolio immune to large swings in stock prices in turbulent times.

Simultaneously, these offer outsized payouts or sizable yields on a regular basis irrespective of the market direction. Although these stocks do not necessarily have the highest yields, they are proven outperformers over the long term.

In today's screen you will find a couple of stocks with good potential to hike dividends for the next years. Each of the stocks have attractive fundamentals in my view.

You will find the lists attached at the end of this article. The focus from the screen was growth with solid financials.

These Are The 20 Best Performing Dividend Stocks Of The Year 2015 - Can They Repeat Their Success in 2016?

When investing in dividend stocks, the primary goal isn't necessarily to make a boatload of money right away. 

Rather, most of us invest in dividend stocks for a stable, growing income stream that will build wealth over time. Still, dividend stocks do experience some big moves from time to time.

Today I like to give you an overview of the best performing dividend stocks of the year. The Dow Jones is negative year-to-date. It was a really hard year. Only seven stocks gained more than 100%. Around 40 companies had a performance over 50%.

You will see that high yields are not performance drivers.

Attached you can find the 20 best performing dividend paying stocks of the year. I've only selected those companies with a market cap over 300 million. The performance of the 20 top stocks starts at 60.19% and ends at 290.47%.

13 Mispriced Dividend Stocks (Growth To Valuation)

The market often misprices assets due to fears, false expectations, unexpected events or something else. Sometimes a stock is traded away of its internal value because it’s not the hot industry.

I've compiled the stocks from a market screening that has a strong focus on future growth and low P/E multiples. In addition, a solid profit situation and adequate initial yield are essential.

16 Incredible Stocks Converting Growth In Pure Return

Growth is wonderful but makes only sense when the company has a high return on assets. 

It's a massive money creating strategy to take cash and upscale a high returning business.

Today I've discovered some growth stock ideas with double digit returns on assets and operating margins with low price and debt ratios.

These are my criteria in detail:

- Large Cap

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Debt to Equity under 1

- Expected 5-Year EPS Growth over 5 percent

- Past 5-Year Sales Growth over 5 percent

- Forward P/E under 15

- 10 Percent ROA and Operating Margin

There were exactly 16 stocks that met my tight criteria. I'm also impressed by the sector diversification. A broad range of stocks from completely different industries stopped with these restrictions but technology stocks still dominating my results.

Technology is not the same. There are old-techs and new-tech companies. The first category delivers "commodities" for the following, new companies. Oracle, Microsoft and AT&T are such investments.

9 Dividend Stocks That Tenfold Sales

Growth makes addicted. A company that doubles each ten years sales and threefold earnings is a good return and cash cow for your portfolio if you have not overpaid your investment.

Google, Facebook and other techies are good growth stocks with deep values but they are definitely too expensive to make a good return. If not, I am wrong and they boost sales by a higher rate but that's speculation and not investing.

I've released an article about growth stocks with a smaller market capitalization that have doubled sales over the recent decade.

I wrote this article, inspired by a Chinese couple that bought some shares of Apple in the 90's and made a profit on its initial investment of $276,600. That’s really great. Long-term investing brings huge money into your pocket.

Today I like to introduce those dividend stocks that have outperformed the most of the listed stocks by fundamental growth ratios. They have tenfold their sales within the past decade. It is great? Sure it is!
