Hey guys, I hope you have a great weekend like I do. I'm sitting in front of my pc and watch on the list of the best dividend paying stock in the United States.
I'm impressed that Coca Cola and Procter have now yields above the three percent mark. Both are definitely the kings of the Dividend Champions and should be used as minimum yield. If you like to add stocks with a higher risk, debt or lower growth and diversification, you should add a premium yield when you buy those stocks.
Today I've a small focus on growth, yes; I've sorted the 105 Dividend Champions by the highest expected earnings per share growth for the next five years. All of the attached six results have a higher EPS-growth of 15 percent; a huge number in my view. They are a little off the main street but still solid valuated.
The 6 highest growing Dividend Champions are...
