Growth stocks are wonderful if they finance their growth without capital injunctions. Better they pay a high dividend and increase it over years. I screened the market by high yield stocks with a recent sales and earnings growth of more than ten percent (past five years). In order to catch only those stocks with a gaining earnings growth, I observed only stocks with quarter-on-quarter sales and earnings per share growth of more than 20 percent. Exactly ten companies fulfilled these criteria. Two of them have a double-digit yield and five are recommended to buy.


Here are my favorite stocks:



1. Terra Nitrogen (TNH, Financial)
has a market capitalization of $4.19 billion. The company employs people, generates revenues of $798.90 million and has a net income of $508.00 million. The firm’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounts to $527.70 million. Because of these figures, the EBITDA margin is 66.05 percent (operating margin 63.57 percent and the net profit margin finally 63.59 percent).


Terra has no long-term debt. Due to the financial situation, a return on equity of 127.46 percent was realized. Twelve trailing months earnings per share reached a value of $15.33. Last fiscal year, the company paid $13.91 in form of dividends to shareholders.
