18 Services Stocks With Low Debt And Payout Ratios To Boost Future Dividends

Services dividend paying stocks with low payout ratios and relatively small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to continue my article serial about low leveraged stocks with small payout ratios. I believe that those stocks can pay higher dividends in the future or they have the ability to grow further without capital increases.

The services sector ha s many corporate stocks with small dividend payouts but the most of the stocks are working with small profit margins or they have a modest capitalization. I decided to look only at stocks with more than $2 billion market capitalization in order to get the best results. My other criteria are still the same: Debt to equity under 0.5 with a dividend payout ratio of less than 20 percent.

Eighteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which ten are currently recommended to buy.

Best Services Stock Picks For 2013 | A Selection Of Growth Stocks

Dividend income investors seeking for a high income stream from dividends. In addition, capital gains from stocks trades are a welcome bonus for a long-term investor like me. Over a long period, such capital gains are much higher than the amount of dividends. I personally have a ratio of 1:2. This means for every dollar in dividends I could generate additional two dollars of stock gains. Most of my capital gains are unrealized because I hold them for a very long time.

However, I started a new screen from the services sector. I wanted to know what stocks picks could be the best for next year. Last year’s picks gained 31.16 percent while the sector was up 23.16 percent compared to the previous year.

These are my criteria:

- 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 2 billion

Fourteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which eight pay dividends and twelve are currently recommended to buy. The results are dominated by business services stocks and discount, variety store concepts.
