These 15 Stocks Could Double Their Dividends

Dividend growth is more important than yield, that's a major issue from the dividend growth investing space.

The reason is simple, a fast growing stock that reinvest all of their generated money, could overtake every higher yielding and slow growing stock in a few years.

Today I like to show you 15 Dividend Achievers, stocks with a history of growing dividends of more than 10 years without a break, that have potential to double their dividends.

My criteria:
- Debt-to-equity of less than 0.2
- Low payout ratio under 30%
- positive earnings growth over 5% yearly

Here are my favorites...

10 High Yielding Stocks With Reliable Dividends

If you are a yield investor, you should look at my screening results from today. I've compiled 10 top yielding stocks from the S&P 500 with reliable dividends and a yield of at least 3.5 percent.

About 60 companies in the S&P 500 have yields of 3% or more. To make our cut, each company needs to cover its dividend from estimated 2015 earnings.

I excluded oil stocks and real estate investment trusts as well as master limited partnerships, which are valued differently than regular corporations using cash-flow measures rather than reported earnings.

These are my results....

11 Good Yielding Dividend Growth Stocks You Don't Want To Miss In Your Portfolio

If you are a fearful investor who scared about the ups and downs of the stock market, you must consider low volatility stocks with strong and growing cash flows.

In addition, the management team of the company should pay a solid amount of the net income back to shareholders. I talk about dividends and buybacks. Those are very shareholder friendly activities to create value for investors.

Today I like to introduce 11 dividend stocks that combine stable cash flows with high dividend yields above 3% and low stock price volatility. The stocks below reward investors each year with steady or rising dividend payments. Each of these 11 stocks has not reduced its dividend payments in over 25 years.

These are the results in detail:

The Top Yielder From The S&P MidCap 400 Dividend Aristocrats Index

Dividends are a good income source for passive investors who like to retire earlier. A great source of stocks with a long history of sustainable and growing dividends can be found within the Dividend Aristocrats family.

I've written many articles about those stocks, which are very popular. Today I like to show the highest yielding stocks from the S&P MidCap 400 Dividend Aristocrats Index. Each stock has increased its annual dividend 15 or more consecutive years.

These are the results with a yield, higher or close to 3 percent dividend yield....

4 Dividend Payer With 10% Yields And Promising Fundamentals

Big dividends are dead? No, I don't think so. Despite the fact that the FED and other national banks killed the interest rates, there are still high and stable dividend payments.

Today I like to focus my thoughts on higher risk stocks with bigger dividends. Those stocks have a really low market capitalization, a high payout ratio and cheap valuation. 

As a result, dividend yield ratios explode. Attached is a list of the top 20 results by yield who met my criteria.

These are my criteria in detail:
- Market Cap over $300 million
- Positive 5Y Earnings Growth Forecast
- Low Forward P/E
- Debt/Equity under 0.5
- Buy Rating from Analysts

These are the 5 top yielding results...
