Dividend growth investors like me don't look at high yielding stocks. I am looking for companies that hike their dividends and my income very fast.
I like to see that my personal income from dividends is rising but only healthy growing stocks can give me such an opportunity.
I'm looking each day for good bargains on the stock market but only a few companies can give me a huge possibility to double dividends over a few years.
Debt and growth are two very important factors when you look at rising dividends. But those two figures are no warranty for good returns. I'm talking about high valuations. If you buy at high prices or big P/E ratios, you will definitely loose money despite your growing dividend income.
Below are six stocks with low debt ratios and solid earnings growth predictions. Most of them have a P/E between 15 and 20. Not too expensive but when money is flooding out of the market, those valuations can shrink to 10 to 15. The good thing is that you can easily buy shares at 50 percent higher yields.
6 top large caps with a big change to double dividends are....
