12 Faster Growing Dividend Stocks With An Attractive Pricing

The current market environment is presenting many challenges to the conservative retired investor in need of current income. Interest rates are near all-time lows and the valuations of many blue-chip dividend growth stocks have become extended.

It is becoming very difficult to find quality investment opportunities that can provide safety through sound valuation, attractive yield and the potential to fight inflation. Most of my recent work has been focused on presenting attractively valued, high quality, higher yielding dividend growth stocks for consideration by retired investors.

Consequently, my primary focus has been on above-average yield, safety and dividend growth. Stated more plainly, my objective was to present high quality income and income growth investments over total return investments.

My quest to find 10 faster growing dividend stocks that were also attractively valued proved challenging. As I screened the universe, I did come up with just over 30 stocks that I initially found attractive based solely on valuation.

However, as I begin looking for above-average earnings growth, my choices dwindled rapidly. Nevertheless, my screens produced 12 stocks that I felt met the above reader's requirements, and more importantly, that also met some important considerations of my own.

These are the top results...

Warren Buffett Buys An Auto Dealer - Here Are 5 Top Dividend Paying Alternatives

Yesterday, news jumped into the market: The oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett the mastermind behind the investment holding Berkshire Hathaway, bought an auto dealer. What - Auto and Dealer?

Yes, Buffett acquired an auto dealer. He still owns shares of car manufacturer General Motors and adds a fully business from the distribution site. The company named Van Tuyl Group and generated sales of just under USD 8 billion.

Van Tuyl Group says it is the biggest privately owned auto dealership group in the U.S. It has 78 independently operated dealerships and more than 100 franchises in 10 states. The company will be renamed Berkshire Hathaway Automotive and be based in Dallas.


The deal comes amid ongoing consolidation in the industry. Publicly traded giants, including Florida-based AutoNation and Oregon-based Lithia Motors have been snapping up smaller retail chains, often run by families who have been selling cars for generations.

It also could be possible that Buffett buys the Van Tuyl Group in order to create a new channel to sell auto insurance policies.
I've also had some of my eyes on auto parts and car dealers in the past. The main problem was for me that they have no good diversification abroad. Most companies generate revenues in the United States but they have shown strong growth.

Below are five dividend paying alternatives from the auto dealership industry. Most of the industry members pay no dividends but for nearly all, double-digit earnings growth is predicted. If you like to follow my stories, please subscribe my blog news.
