20 Stocks And Funds With Dividend Growth

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I enjoy it really to see how dividends grow. One company with monthly payments that hiked its dividends with an impressive speed is the retail real estate trust Realty Income. Last week they announced only a small hike of 0.2 percent but this bigger dividend will be paid every month.

I personally don’t like REITs and financials because of the high debt. They also invested huge amounts into assets of which I have no idea how they could perform. I stay by my core research competence and let them do their work.

Last week, 19 companies and one fund announced a dividend hike. Only half of them have a current buy or better rating. The average dividend growth of the top dividend growers from last week amounts to 53.73 percent.

19 Cheap Asian Large Cap Dividend Stocks

Large capitalized stocks with low forward P/E’s and good dividends originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Dividends are popular and Asian stocks too. A combination of both is not a guarantee for a great return but it brings more ideas to you and your thoughts broaden when you see how Asian stocks are priced.

Today I like to screen some of the best yielding Asian stocks with a listing in the United States. American Depositary Receipts, that’s the correct title. They do not include all top yielding stocks from Asia but ADR’s have a better volume and need to fulfill the SEC requirements. A full compilation of the top dividend stocks from Asia can be found in my weekly publised PDF Dividend Weekly. The book covers over 1,000 dividend paying shares and is completely free.

My criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Forward P/E below 15

Nineteen stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which thirteen have a current buy or better recommendation. Telecoms and oil stocks are dominating the screen.

26 Technology Growth Stocks With Highest Dividend Payments

Stocks from the technology sector with strong growth and high dividends originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". 

We all know that there are great investment opportunities within the technology sector. Think at Facebook or Google. Both are great companies and they made early stage investors very rich – mostly investors of the pre-capital market area.

Sure the field is not a great source for income investors because the companies need money to finance growth and perspectives and possibilities are really huge.

Not all companies have the ability manage growth in a successful way. They try hard but it doesn’t work. Think at Blackberry or Microsoft. Other companies with a solid market position have changed their statement to the financial market: They like to pay good dividends because they sit on big cash mountains and find no risk-adjusted way to grow. Cisco Systems or Microsoft are two stocks with strong growing dividends.

The biggest yields from the technology sector come from telecom companies. Those are also stocks with huge debt amounts and the slowest sector growth. But there are still some good yielding stocks with mid-term growth perspectives. Today, I like to show you the best yielding higher capitalized stocks with double-digit expected earnings per share growth.

Twenty-six stocks from the tech sector fulfilled these criteria. Most of the results come from the communication equipment industry. This is a hard playing industry were you have a higher downside risk as stock trader. But you can find some attractive stocks on the list below.
