We all look for high dividend payments. I am fixed to get a 3 percent return with good long-term growth perspectives, others like High-Yields with stable payments.

Today I will to show you the highest yielding stocks at the market with positive earnings per shares growth for the next five years. Stocks with yields above the 10 percent mark are very risky and they are likely to reduce their payments in the future. In order to reduce the risks from lower capitalized stocks, I selected only those companies with a market cap above 2 billion.

Only 12 companies fulfilled my mentioned criteria of which five have a current buy or better rating. The results are dominated by real estate trusts. Annaly Capital Management is still on the list but they needed to cut dividends last week by 11.1 percent from 0.45 to 0.4 cts per share. Die interest rate increase hurts the company.

Northern Tier Energy (NTI) has a market capitalization of $2.17 billion. The company employs 2,893 people, generates revenue of $4.653 billion and has a net income of $197.60 million. The firm’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) amounts to $604.20 million. The EBITDA margin is 12.98 percent (the operating margin is 11.19 percent and the net profit margin 4.25 percent).

Financial Analysis: The total debt represents 24.85 percent of the company’s assets and the total debt in relation to the equity amounts to 58.39 percent. Due to the financial situation, a return on equity of 31.88 percent was realized. Twelve trailing months earnings per share reached a value of $4.78. Last fiscal year, the company paid $1.48 in the form of dividends to shareholders. Earnings of NTI are expected to grow by 47 percent for the next five years.
