To see how focusing solely on current yield distorts the payout picture, take a look at Microsoft Corporation (MSFT). The stock currently boasts a 2.6% dividend yield, just above the S&P 500 average of 2.2%. That’s not bad, but it masks the 125% boost in the company’s dividend over the past five years. Before you ask, no, I don’t recommend buying Microsoft now, despite its glowing dividend history. That’s because the software giant’s payout hikes could be a lot smaller in the next five years than they were in the last five.
Luckily, the three stocks below face no such roadblocks. Not only do they have the low payout ratios and rising earnings they need to double their payouts in the next five years, they’re trading at bargain valuations, to boot: Ingersoll-Rand PLC (IR), Magna International Inc. (MGA) and AbbVie Inc (ABBV).
