5 Top Dividend Stocks With 50% Earnings Growth Forecasts

Who are the best dividend stocks for the next five years? That's a good question and I also look for stocks with promising fundamentals.

I do desk research and fundamentals are the most important source of information which I can use.

Today I've created a nice forward orientated screen of dividend paying large caps with doubledigit earnings growth forecasts over the next five years and low valuation figures as well. I did not select the stocks by a long dividend growth history.

As a result, GM and AbbVie are part of the results but take a look to create your own thoughts. These are the top results with a dividend yield over 3 percent.
