These Are The Greatest Dividend Stocks With Double-Digit Earnings Growth

Long-Term dividend growth investors need to look at the expected earnings growth of a company. The idea is simple: A growing company will also raise dividends if they don’t strengthen their dividend policy.

What you also need to do is to observe the current market price of the company. If you pay 20 times of actual sales, you must have a very fast growing and highly profitable business to achieve a solid return in the future.

Below, I’ve compiled 3 stocks with double digit earnings forecasts for the mid-term and solid valuation figures.
