18 Industrial Stocks I Love To Buy

I am personally finding plenty of interesting bargains and reasonable valuations in the industrial sector these days, one of the few places they exist.

Dividend investors might be tired of investing in the same old consumer staples or consider those trades too crowded to invest new money into. So where do they go?

 Below I have outlined a few interesting industrial plays that have very cheap or reasonable valuations and competitive yields or future dividend growth prospects if the current yield is very low.

Here are the top yielding results...

These 14 Dividend Champions Could Double Their Dividends

Dividend stocks are often the fundament of a great retirement portfolio. Dividend payments not only put money in your pocket, which can help hedge against any downward move in the stock market, but they're usually a sign of a financially sound company.

Dividend payments also give investors the opportunity to reinvest into more shares of stock, thus boosting future dividend payments and compounding gains over time. Yet not all income stocks live up to their full potential.


Utilizing 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%.


Attached you can find a few  income stocks with a long dividend growth history and payout ratios currently below 40% that could potentially double their dividends over the next years.


Our assumption for such big dividend moves are positive earnings growth and low debt levels. Both are very important for dividend hikes over the next years.


The screen delivered 14 results of which 4 yield over 2 percent. The results can be found in the attached list with some fundamentals.


Here are the best yielding results in detail...

7 Highest Yielding Dividend Champs With Low Payouts And Potential To Increase Cash Distributions

Dividends tend to be paid by companies that are more stable and less volatile than others paying a dividend to shareholders is a commitment that companies don't take lightly, and management will avoid having to reduce or eliminate that payout.

Dividends are generally instituted when management is confident that the company will be able to keep paying (and, ideally, increasing) its dividend, due to fairly predictable earnings. Dividend investing can keep you focused on relatively reliable companies.

We all know how important dividends are for normal investors. We cannot change the corporate strategy and need to live from payouts.

Attached is a quiet overview of long-term dividend growth stocks with the lowest payout ratios. This could mean, there is a potential for further dividend hikes but it could also mean that much money is needed for growth, buybacks or debt pay downs.

However, attached is a sheet of the 20 low payout dividend champions. Insurer are well represented on the list. The cheapest in terms of forward P/E are Franklin Resources, Aflac, Stepan Company, Archer-Daniels Midland, 1st Source and Wal-Mart. 

Do you like any of the results?

7 Top Dividend Growth And Share Buyback Stocks Of The Week

As you might have noticed, my blog covers dividend growth stocks and companies with fresh stock buyback announcements.

It's not a real investment strategy but both are activities for investors.

You can find each week a list of all dividend growth stocks and share buyback companies on this site. It's the only source who compiles this on the internet.

Within the past week, only eight companies raised their dividend payments and additional nine stocks announced a stock buyback program.

Both are shareholder-friendly activities which could be helpful for normal investors like me and you.
Back to dividend growth: No large-cap stock was in the list of the latest dividend grower. The biggest fish in the pool was the insurer American Financial Group who raised dividends by 13.64 percent.

7 of my favorite dividend growth stocks and share buyback announcements of the past week are...

13 Stocks With Fresh New Dividend Hikes

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 13 stocks and 4 funds announced a dividend hike within the recent week.

I’ve attached a list with all stocks and included a few fundamentals for you. So it would be easier to compare the current valuation.

Two High-Yields are part of the results but they are both very small capitalized. The biggest stocks with the most recent dividend growth are Accenture and Phillips 66. Only four companies have a P/E of less than 15. The market gets more and more expensive, a fact that is also reasonable to the low interest policy of Bernanke.

13 Dividend Champions With Very Low Debt To Equity Ratios

Dividend Champions with very low debt to equity ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Safe stocks have a higher priority for me. I believe that I don’t need a bigger return when I try to avoid the real big risks of investing. Every cent I don’t lose with my current holdings is also a cent that I don’t need to earn with other stocks. That's my philosophy.

A real problem that affects the stock price is the debt situation. While everybody is only talking about growth and future potential, I do look at these ratios and the possibilities to repay the debt. Remember, you are a shareholder and get your dividends after loan and interest repayments.

Debt overloaded stocks have the problems that they need decades to reduce this debt if they are working in a non growing industry. A stock with a bigger cash amount on banks is in my view a better alternative. The company has more possibilities to grow and if they don’t find a solution for investing the money, the can repurchase own shares or boost the current dividend.

Today, I want to discover some of the best dividend growth stocks with a very long dividend growth history and a very low leverage risk. I selected 109 Dividend Champions and screened them by a debt to equity ratio of less than 0.1. Thirteen stocks remained of which seven have a buy or better ratio.
