Dividend Yield | Apr 02, 2012 06:07AM ET
Growth stocks are wonderful especially if they are at the beginning of their growth path. Growth normally creates shareholder value and if the company doesn’t need much money to finance the growth, you can benefit already within the early stage.
In order to find some growth opportunities within the healthcare sector with current dividend payments, I screened the healthcare sector by stocks with a recent earnings growth of more than ten percent (past five years). In order to catch up only those stocks with a gaining earnings growth, I observed only stocks with a quarter over quarter sales and earnings per share growth of more than ten percent. Take a closer look at the full table of healthcare dividend stocks with gainin momentum. The average price to earnings ratio (P/E ratio) amounts to 20.93 and forward P/E ratio is 15.77. The dividend yield has a value of 0.95 percent. Price to book ratio is 5.16 and price to sales ratio 3.22. The operating margin amounts to 20.15 percent. Sales increased 19.81 percent compared to the figures from the same quarter last year (16.53 percent 5-year average) and the earnings per share grew 52.07 percent quarter over quarter (25.07 percent 5-year average).
