Deutsche Bank's List of Sustainable Dividend Stocks

In an effort to find the top dividend stocks for our readers, we were intrigued by a Deutsche Bank A.G. (NYSE: DB) research piece that detailed its use of a screening method for dividend stocks known as CROCI, or cash return on invested capital. The computers screen stocks for real economic cash return on the company’s adjusted asset base, calculated as an internal rate of return over the company’s estimated asset life. This in turn helps to determine which stocks make its Sustainable Dividend Screen. We then screened the list by sector, looking for the stocks with the highest return on equity (ROE).

Here is the list of stocks to buy from Deutsche Bank: Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) is the ROE leader in the consumer discretionary sector. Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) continues to be the worldwide sales leader in cigarettes. Baxter International Inc. (NYSE: BAX) is the ROE leader in the health care sector. Emerson Electric Co. (NYSE: EMR) is the industrials ROE champion. Seagate Technology PLC (NASDAQ: STX) is one of two technology high-ROE stocks to make the grade. Maxim Integrated Products Inc. (NASDAQ: MXIM) also tops the tech ROE rankings.
