Stryker Corporation – A low yield dividend growth champion

My Guest post – Stryker Corporation: Dividend Stock Review at Financial freedom is a Journey reviews a company who typically would not pass my initial screeners.

Usually, I would look for companies that are at least 1.5 times higher than the average S&P 500 yield. However I have recently been having discussions with Charles who brought a number of stocks to my attention that I would probably not have considered before.

You might remember, Charles wrote a guest post on this blog about Canadian Pacific Railway and in return I wrote an article about Stryker. I think it is good to open discussions on companies that I don’t know or would normally over look as I see it as a good learning opportunity. Charles also happens to be long SYK, so it was good to exchange emails and ideas of some of the finer details such as valuations, credit rating and future outlook etc

On this occasion, I have l learned that screeners may be limiting my opportunities on some really great Dividend Growth Companies. Iv had similar discussion’s with the Sunday Investor ,Maybe its a Canadian thing 🙂 , Something for me to ponder and dig a little deeper into.

For those interested, My full review of Stryker can be found here.
