Healthy Dividend Growth Stocks to Cure What Ails Your Portfolio

These five above-average growing opportunities in the healthcare sector provide dividend growth investors potential alternatives to the traditional large-cap pharmaceuticals. This is a high quality group of healthcare companies that possess above-average growth potential plus an above-average dividend yield that is expected to grow at above-average future rates. Consequently, we believe these candidates offer the total package. We believe that each of these nontraditional healthcare opportunities are attractively valued, provide an attractive dividend, and the opportunity for above-average total return.

Five Healthcare Dividend Growth Stocks that appear to be attractively valued: Lincare Holdings Inc (LNCR), Cardinal Health Inc (CAH), Kensey Nash Corp (KNSY), St Jude Medical Inc (STJ) and Amgen Inc (AMGN). These companies possess the opportunity for above-average long-term growth of both capital and dividend income. As you review each company, note that several have just begun a dividend policy. Therefore, they do not possess long histories of dividend excellence that many dividend growth investors covet. On the other hand, due to their expected above-average growth and above-average market yields we believe that they do offer the potential for strong total returns. On the other hand, we believe their potential for an increase in dividend income stream is excellent as well.
