Top 5 Heal Care Companies To Buy Right Now

The first quarter of 2013 saw plenty of dividend action from corporate America. According to Standard & Poor��, companies reported 944 dividend increases in the first quarter, paying out an additional $14.5 billion in dividends.

Despite the healthy dividend increases, companies still have plenty of room to increase dividends.

According to S&P, the payout ratio ��per-share dividends divided by per-share earnings ��is currently 36%. Said differently, corporations are paying out a little over one-third of their profits in dividends. The historical average is 52%.

Thus, when you look at the relatively low payout ratio, cash-heavy balance sheets sported by many companies, and expectations for higher earnings as the economy strengthens, the positive dividend-growth trends should continue.
