As a forward-looking investor, I'll take a deeper look into the fundamentals of a company.

If I see that there are solid debt ratios and modest growth at high margins, then I should take a second look at the valuation of the company.

If I also get a high initial yield, it could be a perfect income stock for my passive income portfolio. That's the ideal theory.

The truth is that each stock can develop into another direction that is not of benefit to you.

But we don't want to assume this case and look at it in the normal way.

Today I would like to introduce those stocks with double-digit earnings growth forecast for the next five years that offer a fantastic 3% plus dividend yield for your portfolio.

I've selected only stocks with a debt-to-equity ratio below 1 and return on assets over 5%. In addition, each of the attached stocks has a low forward P/E of less than 15.

Exactly nine companies fulfilled these tight criteria of which three are high yields.

Here are the results.
