4 surprising dividend growth shares? AstraZeneca plc, Barclays PLC, Glencore PLC and BP plc
Do these stocks offer upbeat dividend growth outlooks? AstraZeneca plc (LON:AZN) (AZN.L), Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) (BARC.L), Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) and BP plc (LON:BP) (BP.L)

The dividend growth outlooks of AstraZeneca plc (LON:AZN) (AZN.L), Barclays PLC (LON:BARC) (BARC.L), Glencore PLC (LON:GLEN) (GLEN.L) and BP plc (LON:BP) (BP.L) could be relatively strong in my view.

After a number of years without rising dividends, AstraZeneca is expected to increase shareholder payments in the next financial year. The company’s investment in its pipeline looks set to pay off, with EPS growth of 12% in 2019 being forecast by the stock market.

With the company having an increasingly strong position in a number of key markets, its long-term outlook appears to be improving. A dividend yield of 3.7% may not be the highest in the FTSE 100, but AstraZeneca’s dividend growth potential seems to be high.

After freezing its dividend in the last couple of years to focus on rebuilding its balance sheet, Barclays is expected to deliver strong dividend growth over the next two years.

In fact, by 2019 its dividend payments are forecast to be around 170% higher than they were in 2017. This puts the stock on a forward yield of 4.5%, and suggests that Barclays could be a surprise income option in the long run.

Glencore’s share price performance has been relatively disappointing of late. Regulatory concerns and a stronger dollar have caused investor sentiment to come under a degree of pressure.

This means that the mining company now has a dividend yield of around 5%. In my view, this provides it with income investing appeal. Clearly, it is a relatively risky and volatile stock which lacks the resilience of some of its FTSE 100 peers. But with a P/E ratio of 9, I feel that Glencore’s risk to reward ratio is relatively appealing.

BP’s financial prospects have improved significantly in recent months. A rising oil price means that the company’s EPS growth is expected to positive, although its dividend yield still stands at over 5% in spite of a share price increase.

With the BP share price having a P/E ratio of around 13, I feel that it offers good value for money. Since I believe that the oil price could move higher, the stock could deliver improving dividend growth over the medium term.

Big oil gone into overdrive, time to slow down a bit I think.

[optomistic] 24/9/2018 21:29

Brent at $81.44 as I write should help keep us firm tomorrow.

The chiefs of BP, Shell, Equinor and Total are to join forces in an attempt to highlight suppliers who respect the human rights of their workforce.

Announced today, the agreement will see the oil firms look to “create a collaborative approach to human rights supplier assessments in the energy industry”.

The joint agreement would attempt to make it easier for firms who have a proven track record of good human rights practice to promote it.

But the firms also added that the agreement does not include “collaboration on selection of suppliers, which continues to remain the independent decision of each participant”.

A spokesman of Equinor said in a statement: “Participating companies recognise the importance of working with suppliers that respect human rights, in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including the fundamental conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), and that care for their people.

“The objective of this initiative is to create an industry framework for human rights supplier assessments. Results of conducted assessments will be shared with the participating companies through an independent third party. Work is currently ongoing to establish the assessment criteria and sharing mechanism.”

Oil climbs as US crude stocks fall to 3½ year low.

[hellscream] 18/9/2018 16:46

I would love to see where the ftse would drop too if the US had a 10-15k stockmarket crash.

[krowelet] 17/9/2018 08:51

Very true hellscream, everything should drop by a third imo with the stockmarket then able to recover to new highs in time but house prices staying flat for many years would benefit everyone especially the young, there could be a bloodbath in property imo.

[toon1966] 17/9/2018 08:26

Might want to use some sort of spell check in future hellscream.

[hellscream] 14/9/2018 04:29

whats comming out of carney mouth shows you whats wrong with this country.
Why is this country afraid of the free market?
this explains why the stockmarket hasent gone up for 20 years, our whole economy has bottleneck'd because of an obbsession with house prices.
