Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Past Week - Full Compilation List

My Favorite Dividend Contenders For March 2017

With a new month close at hand, it is time, once again, for me to lay out some of my stock considerations for the next several weeks of March. 

The point of these posts is to help take some of the guesswork out of where I plan to allocate my fresh capital going forward. By making my selections ahead of time, I find it easier to commit to buys, as all the homework and investment theses have already been completed on my end. 

All that's left to do is pull the "buy" trigger. These days, it seems easier said than done as the market - and many stocks I am considering - continue to march higher. I am finding it increasingly difficult to decide where I'd like to allocate my fresh capital. 

Rest assured, I will be making at least one buy in March, as I aim to stick to my own mantra of remaining consistent with my buys during all market conditions. 

I have no intentions of breaking my streak of making monthly buys. That being said, as I look at my portfolio, I am left with a handful of potential choices for the month of March.

Here are my favorite Dividend Contenders...

16 Long-Term Dividend Growers At Reasonable Prices

A very, very famous investor once said that he liked to buy excellent businesses at 'reasonable prices.' I like to think that I am of the same mindset. A strategy of mine is to look for such businesses with real competitive advantages, but ones that are dividend payers and dividend growers.

My watch list now includes a couple hundred stocks, all of which are dividend payers. Today I'd like to share a small list of those which I believe retail income investors can buy 'off the shelf' right now.

These are the results...

24 Dividend Growth Stocks With Solid Yields To Consider

Dividend growth is a wonderful thing, but you should also require the stocks you buy to look cheap. Here I seek out stocks trading at multiples of price to sales, earnings, and cash flow lower than five-year averages.

Stocks that trade at discounted valuations can be cheap for a reason, so I also require expected sales growth for the year ahead to be positive. Using these criteria, the 24 stocks shown in the table have proven themselves to be “dividend growth superstars” that kept on paying and even raising their dividends through the 2008-2009 financial crisis. They also trade at historically cheap valuations on at least two of the three ratios I use to determine value: price/sales, price/earnings, and price/cash flow.

If you follow a strategy of investing in temporarily cheap stocks of companies that habitually hike their dividends, not only will you experience significant capital gains when the stock falls back into favor with the market, but the yield you earn on your original investment can balloon to downright plump proportions.

8 A++ Rated Dividend Bargains To Discover

With thousands of investing possibilities, it can be hard to determine which one is the "right one." The bad news is that there's not sure fire way to figure that out.

Indeed, there will always be a more optimal route in hindsight. The good news is that you don't have to pick a single "right" security in order to do well. The investment world is overwhelmingly filled with positive long-term results.

This idea comes in handy especially when you're building a portfolio. Not only are you not limited to a single selection, but a group of securities can provide an aggregate and stabilizing benefit.

Attached you will find a fine selection of stocks with nice dividend payments, jucy yields and solid financials. Some of them are the top dividend growth stocks of the past half century but all have in common a A++ rating.

7 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks WIth Double-Digit Return On Assets

Return on assets is the ratio of annual net income to average total assets of a business during a financial year. 

It measures efficiency of the business in using its assets to generate net income. It is a profitability ratio.

I like the ratio because it tells me if a company has a highly profitable business that generates enough income from its invested assets.

The higher the ratio, the more profitable the assets are. I like it really but only a small number of dividend growth stocks have a really big ratio.

Asset Managers are the only cheaply valueated Dividend Champions. I talk about Franklin Resources and Eaton Vance.

Both are not really my favorites right now. Attached I've compiled for you all of the cheapest Dividend Achievers with a double-digit return on assets. Each of the results has a cheap forward P/E ratio.

12 Dividend Stocks To Buy And Hold For The Next 20 Years

According to legendary investor Warren Buffett, the best holding period is forever. While most investors may not have quite that long of a time horizon, the key to successful investing is buying high-quality stocks at reasonable prices and holding them for a very long time. With that in mind, I come up with some ideas for stocks that can be safely held for the next 20 years.

You might agree with me or not but growth is more important for this issue. Only a stocks with solid growth perspectives could give you a price appreciation.

That's also the reason why I'm looking for stocks with growth. My second criteria are profitability. Only a company that scales it's money making machine could create values, not a stock that wides losses. That's easily to understand.

Attached you find my 12 favorite dividend paying growth stocks. Which do you like from the list?

19 Modestly Valueated Dividend Stocks To Buy And Hold For The Next 20 Years

Though it's undeniably gratifying to watch any stock you own skyrocket in value over short periods of time, the best way to predictably generate wealth is to buy and hold shares of great companies over the long term.

And we're not talking periods of just weeks or months, but rather years or -- better yet -- decades. So attached I've tried to compile a dozen stocks that might be the ideal investment for the long term.

The basis for me was a strong established corporate structure with big brands which drive billions of dollars each year into the company without a low Capex desire.

Dividend Achievers often have such a big footprint in their industry and they become stronger with every recession over decades.

These are the criteria of my screen:

- Sales growth in the past five years positive
- Expected EPS growth for the next five years over 5 percent yearly
- Low forward P/E
- Debt to equity under 0.5

19 stocks fulfilled my above mentioned criteria of which four have a dividend yield over 3 percent. The screen is not focused on yield but more on financial stability and future growth. Pick the right growth stock and you could get rich. Remember McDonalds in the 80ies. What a wonderful investment.

Here are some of my ideas you might get for an attractive price...

19 Dividend Achievers With Strong Fundamentals, Solid Growth And Cheap Price Ratios

Investors looking for income usually go for dividends instead on betting on stocks that offer capital gains for wealth creation. 

Dividend-paying stocks also provide a cushion against equity market volatility. With Wall Street swinging between bull and bear markets, there are chances of high volatility in the near future. 

While a series of mergers and acquisitions gave a boost to the technology market, the unknown impact of the interest rate hike, an aging bull market, the strengthening dollar, lower oil prices and global growth concerns like the Greece crisis and the slowdown in China, are testing investors’ patience.

This instability has compelled many to play safe and depend on dividend-paying stocks for steady returns. After all, such stocks have been the proven outperformers over the long term and are relatively safer bets. 

Usually, an investor’s risk tolerance is a major factor that determines how the portfolio is organized. However, it is prudent to have a mix of both growth and dividend-yielding stocks. 

Also, while some companies may offer a special dividend to distribute a windfall, it is advisable to choose a consistent performer with strong fundamentals.

Attached you will find a couple of stocks with such strong fundamentals. I restricted my research on long-term dividend growth stocks in order to keep the quality high.

These are my screening criteria in detail:

- Dividend Growth Over 10 Consecutive Years
- Positive Past Sales Growth
- Expected Mid-Term Earnings Growth Over 5%
- Debt To Equity Under 0.5
- Low Forward P/E Under 15

19 stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which four yields over 3 percent.

18 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks To Consider Now

Growth at a reasonable price is an investing strategy that blends value and growth investing.

Instead of just buying a stock that’s cheap, or one that’s growing earnings fast, we look for stocks that appear decently priced with respect to year-over-year growth.

For example, a company growing 15% annually with a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 15 or less would be considered cheap by growth at reasonable price standards.

Attached you will find a compilation of dividend growth stocks that which I have screened by growth at reasonable price standards.

I only screened stocks with a 10 year plus dividend growth at 10% earnings growth and less than 15 P/E multiple.

In order to avoid debt overloaded stocks, I decided to select only those stocks with a debt to equity under 1.

18 stocks remain. Attached you will find the results compiled in a list with important fundamentals.

6 Attractive Dividend Growth Stocks That Could Double Dividends Soon

Dividend stocks can be the foundation of a great retirement portfolio. Dividend payments put money into your pocket, which can help hedge against any dips in the stock market, but they're usually a sign of a financially sound company.

Dividends also give investors a painless opportunity to reinvest in a stock, thus boosting future payouts and compounding gains over time. Yet not all income stocks live up to their full potential.

Using the payout ratio, or the percentage of profits a company returns in the form of a dividend to its shareholders, we can get a good bead on whether a company has room to increase its dividend. Ideally, we like to see healthy payout ratios between 50% and 75%.

I rund a screen in order to find a few attractive dividend growth stocks that could grow earnings and dividends for the years the come.

Leading criteria in my screen are debt-to-equity, 5-Year EPS growth, payout ratio and past sales growth as indicator for the future.

6 income stocks with payout ratios currently below 50% poped on and each of them could potentially double their dividends in the following years.

18 Best Dividend Growth Stocks For The Long Term

The best dividend stocks pay rising dividends year after year. These are typically well known businesses with long dividend histories.

But that's not all. You have to look at much more than on consequent paid dividends. You must look at debt ratios, growth figures, valuation levels, and much more.

However, global economic headwinds are leaving investors perplexed about which stocks to bank on. The markets have been on a roller coaster ride in the recent past – either due to the flagging Chinese economy, the Eurozone debt crisis or the U.S. Federal Reserve’s pending decision over the first rate hike. Moreover, weakness in the energy sector and a strong dollar are nagging concerns.

We have to focus on stocks with long-term potential to avoid short-term problems. Today's screen is long-term orientated. I've put my focus on the best 5 year earnings growth forecast.

These are my screening criteria in detail

- Dividend Achiever Member (over 10 year's consecutive dividend growth)
- 5 Year Predicted EPS Growth Over 5%
- Market Cap over 2 Billion
- Forward P/E under 15
- Debt/Equity under 0.5

18 stocks jumped on my screen. The results can be found at the end of this wonderful article.

Here are the 5 top yielding results...

8 Dividend Picks With A Predictable Growing Business

I like growing stocks which give returns back to shareholders via dividends and buybacks.
Both are very popular and shareholder-friendly activities.

Attached is a fresh list from today's screen I've created. I was looking for solid yielding stocks with good fundamentals and modest growing sales and income.

8 U.S. based stocks appeared on my screen. Also on the list were two German Car makers, Daimler and BMW. Those are too cyclic for me and they cause much CAPEX.

The screening criteria looks a little bit like a safe haven screen but stocks are risky in general. I've written in the past about stocks with a low beta ratio. That's a great measure to evalueate stocks by their risk in relation to the overall market.

These are my highlights from the dividend screen:

16 Dividend Paying Growth Stocks That Could Double Sales and Income

As a long-term investor, I'm seeking stocks that grow over the long-term. My optimum case by selecting a stock is that the company is acting within a positive business environment and could grow sales over the past decade by around 100 percent.

There are a lot of companies out there who have doubled sales and over doubled net income within the recent 10 years. That’s no joke and quiet possible.

Today I like to show you 16 growth stocks with a good growth history that pay currently solid dividends and have no or nearly no debt. In addition, analysts predict a 5+ percent EPS growth for the next five years.

I love stocks with financial flexibility because those stocks have one problem less and could focus themselves more on business development. 

These are my 5 top picks from the list…
