10 Cheap Larg Cap Pharma Dividend Stocks

Given global market dynamics, I'm a big fan of investing in pharmaceutical companies right now. The aging western population and growth in developing countries will continue increasing drug demand for the foreseeable future. According to Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, prescription drug spending is projected to grow at an average of 6.3% per year through 2025.

What I also like about pharmaceutical stocks is that an investor doesn't have to choose between growth and income. It's possible to invest in a company that is growing faster than the overall market but also consistently returning a significant amount of capital to shareholders.

Attached, I've compiled stocks from the pharma drug, generic drug and major drug manufacturing industry with a low forward P/E. I like some of them, especially ABBVIE, PFIZER and NOVO NORDISK.

5 Simple Great And Safe Dividend Growth Stocks

Dividend growth stocks offer the best of both worlds -- potential for capital appreciation and rising income even in a volatile market. This is because these stocks belong to mature companies, which are less susceptible to large swings in the market, while simultaneously offer outsized payouts or sizable yields on a regular basis irrespective of the market direction.

Additionally, these companies have a sustainable business model and enjoy competitive advantages, a long track of profitability, rising cash flows, good liquidity, strong balance sheet and some value characteristics. 

All these superior fundamentals make dividend growth stocks quality and promising investments for the long term. Further, a history of strong dividend growth indicates that a future hike is likely. This makes the portfolio healthy and safe.

12 Good Dividend Growth Investments Now

Someone recently asked me to "let them know what my next investment was going to be, so they could get in at the price I pay." I usually keep a running list of dividend stocks that I want to buy, along with target prices, but I hadn't updated the list in a while.

Yield between 4% and 8%  

1-year dividend growth rate at least 10% 

Recent average dividend growth rate at least 8% 

Exclude All MLPs
