V&M Breakouts: Top Growth And Dividend Stocks For April 2020

Introduction

The Top Dividend Growth stock model expands on my doctoral research analysis on multiple discriminant analysis (MDA) adding new complexities with these top picks. Research shows that the highest frequency of large price breakout moves is found among small-cap stocks with low trading volumes offering no dividends and delivering higher-than-average risk levels. The challenge with the Top Dividend Growth model is to deliver a combination toward optimal total return with characteristics that typically reduce the frequency and size of price breakouts, but deliver more reliable growth factors for higher profitability longer term.

These 2 stocks are above a minimum $10 billion market cap, $2/share price, 500k average daily volume and at least a 2% dividend yield. The population of this unique segment is approximately 330 stocks out of over 7,800 stocks across the US stock exchanges. While these stocks represent less than 5% of available stocks, their market cap exceeds $19 trillion out of the approximately $33 trillion (57.6%) of the US stock exchanges. Efforts are made to optimize total returns on the key MDA price growth factors (fundamental, technical, sentiment) for the best results under these large-cap constraints, with high priorities for dividend growth and dividend yield.

Methodology

These Growth & Dividend stocks leverage the same MDA breakout characteristics used in the Momentum Gauge models and Weekly MDA breakout picks. These stocks fit the acceleration Segment 6 of my research with strong dividends and statistical values consistent with breakout conditions in small-cap rapid accelerators.Revisiting The Signals That Forecasted Every Recent Decline, In Search Of Early Recovery Indicators

Investing in the current adverse Momentum Gauge conditions works against the model, but there may be longer term advantages to these stocks when market conditions improve in the coming weeks and months.

Conclusion

These stocks continue a live forward-testing of the breakout selection algorithms from my doctoral research applied to large-cap, strong dividend-growth stocks. These monthly Top Growth & Dividend stocks are intended to deliver excellent total return strategies leveraging key factors in the MDA breakout models in the small-cap weekly breakout selections.

These selections are being tracked on the V&M Dashboard Spreadsheet for members and enhancements will continue to optimize dividend, growth, and higher breakout frequency variables throughout the year.

All the very best to you and have a great week of trading!
