Healthcare Dividend Stocks With Highest Expected EPS Growth Researched By “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I like healthcare companies because the sector is a long-term growth area due to the ongoing aging population. The sector is a 46.1 trillion bet on stronger than expected health diseases with a current dividend yield of 3.20 percent.

I made a little screen of the best large capitalized stocks with the highest expected earnings per share growth for the next five years. The industry with the biggest earnings forecast is definitely the biotechnology industry, followed by medical appliances and equipment stocks. But those companies pay no dividends. I focused on stocks with a positive yield and a double digit earnings growth. Finally, fourteen companies remained of which all are currently recommended to buy. The mostly represented companies are from the healthcare plans industry.

Health insurer Humana (NYSE: HUM) saw its fourth quarter earnings rise 86 percent thanks to membership growth and light use of health benefits.
