Interested in earning dividend income? Do you prefer stocks that analysts rate as 'Buy'? Do you prefer stocks with high projected earnings over the next year? If so, here are some ideas to start your stock search.
EPS growth (earnings per share growth) illustrates the growth of earnings per share over time. The 1-Year Expected EPS Growth Rate is an annual growth estimate, where the growth projections are made by analysts, the company or other credible sources.
We first looked for stocks that have a very high dividend yield (Div. Yield > 10%). We next screened for businesses that analysts rate as "Buy" (2 < mean recommendation < 3). We then screened for businesses that are considered high-growth, with 1-year projected EPS growth above 25%. We did not screen out any market caps or sectors.
