14 Stocks With A Growing Dividend From Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 

Last week was a weak one because only 14 companies announced to raise their dividends. Three of them have a high yield and ten a buy or better recommendation. In total they grew dividends by an average ratio of 16.57 percent.

Growing dividends are important because they show which companies are confident to manage future growth without additional capital. For you as investor, you get a higher passive income.

The biggest names on the best dividend growers list are National Grid, Seadrill and American Eagle Outfitters.

Best Dividend Paying Stock List As Of June 2013 – 25 Dividend Shares With A Proven History

Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. I love it to screen stocks by value and fundamentals. It gives me the possibility to evaluate stocks and compare them by its data. Especially in times of a low interest environment, it’s more important to select cheap dividend paying stocks with a proven history.

I’ve created a quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion

Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100

Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20

Return on Investment: > 10 < 100

Operating Margin: > 10 < 100

10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200

10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100

This time, only 25 companies fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Eight of the results are High-Yields and seventeen got a buy or better rating from brokerage analysts.

Next Week's Best Yielding Ex-Dividend Stocks

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading week.

A full list of all stocks with payment dates can be found here: Ex-Dividend Stocks June 03 - 09, 2013. In total, 150 stocks and preferred shares go ex dividend - of which 49 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 2.81%.

20 Big Dividend Challengers With Highest Margins

Dividend income growth stocks with high margins and big market capitalization originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Every dividend is only half worth as it should be when the dividend payments are not sustainable or from a low margin business that needs money to keep the business running.

What investors want is a high profitability, a high margin. The strong dividend comes from alone in the long-run.

Today I like to focus on dividend growth stocks that have raised their payments over a period of more than five years but less than 10 years in a row. I like to show you, which of the higher capitalized companies work at the highest margins on the market. 

It’s quite different to compare unequal business models but that’s the nature of economic. Investors look for the most profitable opportunities and they want to put their money into the most promising vehicle. Tobacco delivers a greater return than food. But food gives you a better return than retail.

The results show the top 20 companies with margins between 17.57 percent and 32.67 percent. Eleven of the results have a current buy or better recommendation.
