10 Dividend Aristocrats With The Highest Possibility To Grow Dividends At The Fastest Pace

I've discovered many investing strategies and found out that low dividend paying stocks with little debt and high EPS growth have outperformed the market over years.

Dividend growth is an important issue within the investing space. Investors need to look at several fundamental like debt, payout and growth ratios in order to get a feeling of how fast the company can increase its dividends in the future.

Today I've compiled 10 Dividend Aristocrats with a debt-to-equity under 1 as well as 5-year expected earnings per share growth of more than 10 percent. In addition the dividend payout ratio is under 40 percent.

Dividend Aristocrats managed to increase dividends over more than 25 consecutive years. You can finde a full list here: Dividend Aristocrats.

Those criteria are a first sign for investors to expect a growing future dividend. Below are 10 stocks that fulfilled my criteria. Which stocks do you like? Please leave a comment. Thank you!

13 Cheap S&P 500 Dividend Achievers

Today I like to introduce some dividend growth stocks with the cheapest valuation on the S&P 500. Those stocks have a forward P/E of less than 15.

Buying cheap stocks doesn't mean that you could make a quick return. Mostly the cheapness has reasons which you need to discover. 

For the time being, there are only 26 solid stocks but many have a huge debt burden to wear. If we exclude those stocks by implementing a debt-to-equity limit of 0.5, the results shrink to 13 companies. The list is attached. 

It's hard to find good growing stocks especially when the Fed offers money for free. But what should we do elsewhere? Compared to fixed income assets, equities are quiet cheap and they offer an inflation hedge.

Are you investing money into stocks too? Please share your thoughts related to my ideas here on my blog. Thank you so much.

21 Stock Ideas To Benefit From Weak Oil Prices

The oil price is in free fall and lost half of its value within the recent month. I love it when something changes in such a short period because often it could be a good sign for investors to find new investment targets.

The oil and gas or energy sector is very complicated. There are working many companies in this field and some of them suffering deeply under low oil prices. 

The bad news is that many stocks from the sector did not fall in the same amount as oil prices. One of the main reasons could be that market actors anticipate a mid or long-term oil price forecast of USD 100. That's enough for most of the industry leaders to make money and solid returns.

Not only basic material dividend stocks like Exxon or Chevron are the top picks. 

Indirect, companies with an energy intensive business model like industrial stocks, retailers, auto or restaurant stocks could get a short-term boost.

However, Today I like to share some investment ideas around the energy sector, who are not cheap now but could become an interesting investment.
