These 14 Promising Income Stocks Should Grow Earnings Over 10% Yearly

Investors often pick between growth and income. Why limit yourself? I sit here and watch my market screener, trying to find the next stock that could deliver me a good return. 

I'm a strong believer in growth and hope that dividends could bring me some risk compensation. Today I've created a forward orientated screen for U.S. domiciled stocks.

These are my criteria:

- Market Cap over 2 billion
- Positive Dividend Yield
- EPS growth forecasts over 10% yearly for the next half decade
- P/E less than 15
- Sales growth over 5% in the past 5 years
- Operating Margin over 15%
- Debt to Equity under 1

14 stocks fulfilled exactly these criteria for the moment. There are some pretty known companies on the screen. 

All stocks discussed in this article all pay dividends and have double-digit growth rates. Some of these companies are industry-dominating forces, stocks that you have undoubtedly heard of, while others are lesser known.

Here are the top yielding results...

8 Fast Growing Dividend Champions With Real Values And Low Valuation Ratios

As many dividend-growth investors know, investing in dividend-paying companies is a lot more than simply picking stocks from the Dividend Champion list.

The true power of dividend investing lies within the compounding effect of dividend growth over the years. Finding the "growth" factor in such companies is the hard part.

Some investors are blinded by the past growth while others ignore several metrics to the profit of higher yielding companies. It's more than hard to work to discover the real values in a company.

Growth is more important than yield. A true fact but often, a fast growing company fails to gain momentum growth. Each bigger company suffers to speed up growth. As a result, the high valuation will also come down. This is in general not bad. I use this opportunity to buy stocks if the outlook is still bright.

Attached you can find a few dividend champions that offer both, growth and value for you. I've selected those 30 stocks that have grown dividends over the past 10 years at the fastest pace. Only eight of them have a P/E under 15. Attached you can find lists, the low P/E and 20 highest yielding fastest 30.

8 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks With Yields Over 4% And Decent Growth Potential

It’s true that rising bond yields provide more competition for stocks when it comes to luring income investors, and that income stocks tend to lose the most relative appeal.

It’s also true that the Federal Reserve has hinted it could raise its Fed funds rate soon, perhaps by year’s end.

The rate has been targeted at a historic low of 0% to 0.25% since late 2008, and recently hovered around an effective rate of 0.12%. What’s not clear is that a rise in the Fed funds rate would push yields on bonds substantially higher.

Don’t shy away from stocks with high dividend yields because of a looming interest rate hike. Do, however, favor companies with decent growth potential to complement their cash payouts. Below are three that yield over 4%.

Warren Buffett Adds Surprisingly 14 Stocks And Sells 10 Companies

Berkshire revealed in a regulatory filing Monday that it had also bought additional stock of several companies it already owns, including General Motors, increasing its stake by 22% to 50 million shares, Twenty-First Century Fox by 44% to nearly 9 million shares, and IBM by 2%. 

Berkshire disclosed last month that it lost $2 billion on its IBM investment and increased the number of shares it held in its portfolio by 25%. One of Buffett’s major buys: 59 million shares of AT&T.

Buffett did sell some stocks, most notably trimming his stake in Goldman Sachs (GS) and Wal-Mart (WMT).

Berkshire had about 11 million shares of Goldman Sachs as of Sept. 30, compared with 12.6 million three months earlier, according to a filing Monday disclosing holdings as of the end of the third quarter. The stake in Wal-Mart dropped to 56.2 million shares from 60.4 million.

The value of Berkshire’s holdings increased 19% to $127 billion, as many of those shares declined. Overall the S&P 500 lost about 7% of its value during the quarter.

Here are Warren Buffett's latest Buys and Sells...

20 Stocks With Sustainable Dividend Growth Potential And Yields Up To 5.17%

Did you ever wonder why some companies pay dividends while others don't? 

There are several factors that influence whether or not a company pays a dividend and how much it chooses to pay. 

While there are too many possible factors to list here, these are some of the most influential.

- Payout Ratio
- Debt Level
- Growth (growing profits)
- Economic Environment
- Busines Model
- Less need of investment

Dividend payments are very complicated. These are a few hundrets that pay dividends regular over decades. A fewer number of stocks have grown dividends over decades.

Income stability is one of the top factors in determining dividend policies. Specifically, established companies with stable, predictable income streams are more likely to pay dividends than companies with growing or volatile income.

Newer and rapidly growing companies rarely pay dividends, as they prefer to invest their profits back into the company to fuel even more future growth. And, companies with unstable revenue streams often choose not to pay dividends, or pay small dividends in order to make sure the payout will be sustainable.

It looks terrible to investors when companies are forced to suspend or reduce dividend payments, so most like to err on the side of caution when deciding to implement a new dividend, waiting for several years of stable profits before doing so.

I think that a comibation of dividend growth on a sustainable dividend output could give all interest groups of the company large benefits.

Attached I've compiled a couple of great dividend stocks with a big potential to hike dividends in the future.
