50 Fastest Growing Dividend Stocks In May 2013

Stocks with highest dividend growth originally researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. When a company raises dividends, it’s always a good sign. A firm with a growing dividend let your passive income grow and could put you on the next level of your financial freedom.

But more important than a dividend hike is the intensiveness of the dividend growth. A one percent hike each year is good but it won’t help you over the time. What you need is a stronger growth, something in the range around the 10 percent level.

Today I run my screen of the 50 fastest dividend growers from last month. Below the results are again some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates. All stocks still have a double digit-growth rate. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 49.42 percent. The average yield is at 3.47 percent.

41 Stocks And Funds Hiked Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, additional 41 stocks and funds announced to raise dividends. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.59 percent. On the list are some big Players from the financial sector like JP Morgan Chase or W.R. Berkley. Also the tech giant Hewlett-Packard raised its dividend by 10 percent despite the operational problems. Twelve companies announced to pay a first dividend ever and ten stocks reduced its payments last week.

The good thing is that dividend growth is definitely stronger established than dividend cuts.

12 Safe Dividend Contenders With Low P/E Multiples

Dividend Contenders with low P/E and beta ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Safety and growth is a good combination but hard to find. 

Safe stocks don’t exist because with your shares you are a part of the business and must carry all fluctuations. But there are more or less risky businesses.

Growth is your wealth driver. A growing business is a good business and makes you richer when your company employs more people and generates higher sales and incomes over a couple of years. 

In order to realize a return you must care about the current price ratios. The price you pay for growth should be acceptable in order to make a good return. Normally you have to pay a higher P/E with bigger growth expectations.

Today I try to combine all three factors: Growth, Bargains and Safeness. I like to screen dividend growth stocks with 10 to 25 years of consecutive dividend growth by low P/E and beta ratios: The P/E should be under 15 and the beta ratio must below 0.5.

Twelve stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which three have a buy or better rating. Insurer, banks and telecom stocks are main contributors to the screen. Somehow strange - How banks fundamentals have changed over the recent years. They show low debt figures and good dividends but the banks in my screen are very low capitalized and have a greater risk.
