Dividend stocks should be a part of everybody’s long-term stock portfolio. Better you have dividend stocks from growing industries. Let’s take a look into business software and services industry, an industry that I had analyzed by the best yielding dividend stocks.
The industry has a total market capitalization of $113 billion. The average P/E ratio is 34.3, P/B ratio 11.2, and the average dividend yield amounts to 2.5%. More interesting are the margins and the past growth from the industry. The average company from the business software and services industry has a net profit margin of 9.9%.
I screened stocks from the industry with a positive dividend yield and a market capitalization of more than $300 million. In addition, the stock should be a growth pick with five-year sales growth of more than 10% and profitable growth. This is the reason why five-year earnings per share growth beats five-year sales growth. Below are my favorite stocks due to best growth:
