Reasonable growth potential average dividend payer
Investors in search for stocks with room to flourish should look no further than WEIR, with its expected earinngs growth of 28%, made up of high-quality, operational cash from its core business, which is expected to increase by 93% next year. This indicates a high-quality bottom-line expansion, as opposed to those driven by unsustainable cost-cutting activities.
WEIR pays a decent dividend yield to its shareholders, exceeding the low-risk savings rate, which is what investors expect when they take on the risk of investing in the stock market. That said, please remember that dividend yields are a function of stock prices and corporate profits, both of which can be volatile.
