On this article, our focus is on deciding on and highlighting shares which were rising their dividends at a fast tempo and, greater than probably will proceed to take action sooner or later for a minimum of the following 3-5 years. Nonetheless, such shares normally don’t pay very excessive present yields.

Why Excessive Development Dividend Shares?

There are two kinds of dividend shares {that a} DGI investor can select from relying upon their particular person state of affairs, objectives, and investing time horizon:

Because the names recommend, the HGLY class would have shares that provide a excessive price of dividend development however normally a low present yield. These shares would usually have low cost ratios, manageable ranges of debt, and quickly rising earnings.

Alternatively, LGHY-type of shares would provide a excessive present yield (usually 3% and better) however a decrease price of dividend development. Typically talking, these corporations are extra mature and steady companies which have their hyper-growth interval within the rearview however nonetheless develop modestly over time to help a low however steady development in dividends.

Clearly, there will probably be shares that match someplace in between these two classes, for instance, medium development and medium present yield.

So, who ought to personal HGLY-type shares?

Choice Standards

We’ll draw upon our authentic January knowledge set of almost 400 shares, taken from our different DGI sequence (5 Comparatively Protected and Low-cost DGI). We’ll then apply further standards to filter out shares which have offered a excessive price of dividend development within the latest previous and are prone to proceed on that path for the foreseeable future.

For the month of January, the above dataset contained 373 shares. To get a whole spreadsheet of this dataset, please see our authentic article. For the sake of readability, we’ll listing the unique filtering standards under:

• EPS (earnings per share) Ranking
• Final Qtr EPS change % (precise)
• Present Qtr EPS change % (est.)
• Present 12 months EPS change % (est.).
