Today, I would like to share a new screen about dividend stocks that have beaten the market by sales and earnings growth numbers in the past.
Not enough, they also have low debt, dividend payout ratios. Both are two major criteria to evaluate future dividend growth. These are the criteria in detail:
- Market cap is greater than USD 100 million
- Dividend
yield is greater than 2%
- The
payout ratio is less than 100%
- Total
debt to equity is less than 1.00
- Average
annual earnings growth for the past five years is greater than 25%
- Average
annual sales growth for the past five years is greater than 10%
Six companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which four have a current buy or better rating.
