Dividend Yield | Apr 14, 2012 09:52AM ET
For the American economy, the consumer sector is one of the areas with huge importance for the economy that determines growth. Recent figures show that the sector recovers. Big winners are more likely retailer stocks that sell consumer goods products. They are part of the service sector.
In order to find some opportunities from the consumer goods sector, I screened the sector by dividend stocks with an earnings and sales growth of more than five percent over the past five years. In order to catch up only stocks with a gaining earnings momentum, I observed only those stocks with a quarter over quarter sales and earnings per share growth of more than fifteen percent. Exactly thirteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which one is a high yield; eleven are recommended to buy.
