13 Industrials With Low Dividend Payouts And Little Debt To Boost Shareholder Values

Industrial dividend stocks with low dividend payout ratios and small debt figures originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Every corporation with small amounts of debt has a better flexibility to grow faster than other stocks with a similar size in the same industry. Corporate debt is a major source to boost growth without issuing new shares.

I’m a real dividend growth investor and I ever look for stocks that pay in 10 years a dividend that is twice as big as today. That’s the reason why I always look beside the growth possibilities also at the dividend payout and debt figures. A company with little debt, high cash and low dividend payouts has much to offer for current shareholders.


Today I would like to screen the industrial sector by stocks with low debt figures and dividend payouts. I selected only those stocks with a 20 percent dividend payout and a debt to equity ratio of less than 0.2.


Only thirteen stocks fulfilled these two criteria of which ten have a current buy or better ratio. The results are dominated by lower capitalized stocks. Only five have a market cap over a billion dollar.


17 Cheap Dividend Contenders With Buy Ratings And Double-Digit Growth

Cheap Dividend Contenders with high growth and buy ratings originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth and passive income strategies for normal investors is the core content of this blog. I personally create these articles to share my thoughts about good dividend paying stocks.

The underlying aim is to build a portfolio with high-quality dividend stocks that hike dividends in the future and boost your passive income. If they pay a good dividend and they grow, the share price must follow one day and reflect the corporate success.

Today I would like to present some dividend growth stocks with 10 to 25 years of growing dividends and buy or better ratings. These are my criteria in detail:

- 10 to 25 years of consecutive dividend growth
- Cheap forward P/E of less than 15
- EPS growth for the next five years over 10 percent yearly
- Buy or better rating by brokerage firms

Seventeen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria of which one pays a high yield over five percent. Two companies have a strong buy rating.

19 Dividend Contenders With Real Big Dividend Growth Potential

Dividend growth stocks with low payout and debt ratios originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". When I consider buying a stock, I always look at the fundamentals of a company. The current yields and P/E’s are a first step but both are only two of hundreds criteria.

If you like to evaluate the future dividend growth you should definitely look at the debt situation and the payout ratio. Also important is the expected growth. Only a growing company can hike its dividends in the long-run without paying out capital assets and destroying shareholder values.

Today I like to present Dividend Contenders with the highest dividend payout potential. If they succeed to hike further dividends over the next few years, they can become a Dividend Champion very soon. These are my criteria:

- Payout ratio below 30 percent
- Long-Term Debt to equity under 0.2
- Market Capitalization over 300 million

Nineteen companies fulfill the above mentioned criteria. Ten have a current buy or better rating.

Here are my favorite stocks:

Industrial Dividend Stocks With Highest Float Short Ratio

Dividend Stocks From The Industrial Sector With Highest Short Float Ratio Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The industrial sector is a highly developed part of the economy with very cyclic forms. At the stock markets are 354 companies linked to the sector with a total market capitalization of USD 47.9 trillion. The average sector yield amounts to 2.46 percent and the average P/E ratio is 12.71. The highest dividend paying industries are Cement and Manufacturing Housing.

I screened the sector by dividend stocks with the highest amount of short selling stocks, measured by the float short ratio. The ratio shows how many stocks are shorted by investors. Companies with a high ratio of float short have a little upside potential if investors need to close their short position. Nine dividend stocks from the industrial goods sector have a float short ratio of more than 10 percent.
