After I've published a few articles about safe dividend stocks and stocks with high cash and low debt ratios, I come back to growth.
Growth is good because it grows the value of your assets too. I ever told that only a growing stock is good but you can only make money with growth stocks if you pay reasonable prices for them.
The market is highly valuated, that's news from the recent quarters and more than true. With P/E multiples above 20, you need high growth to justify this values.
Today, I've created a screen for you that are based on momentum growth. I've discovered stocks with double digit earnings and sales growth.
These are my main criteria:
- Market Cap over $10 billion
- Positive Dividend Yield
- Debt-To-Equity Ratio under 0.5
- 5Y Forecasted Earnings Growth over 5%
- Quarter over Quarter Sales Growth over 10%
- Quarter over Quarter Earnings Growth over 10%
- Only US Home Base
Nineteen stocks fulfilled these criteria of which none yield over 2.5 percent in dividend. That's not much but for growth you can waive a small part of your yield.
