I've discovered many investing strategies and found out that low dividend paying stocks with little debt and high EPS growth have outperformed the market over years.
Dividend growth is an important issue within the investing space. Investors need to look at several fundamental like debt, payout and growth ratios in order to get a feeling of how fast the company can increase its dividends in the future.
Today I've compiled 10 Dividend Aristocrats with a debt-to-equity under 1 as well as 5-year expected earnings per share growth of more than 10 percent. In addition the dividend payout ratio is under 40 percent.
Dividend Aristocrats managed to increase dividends over more than 25 consecutive years. You can finde a full list here: Dividend Aristocrats.
