In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 13 High-Growth Canadian Dividend Stocks To Invest In. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article 5 High-Growth Canadian Dividend Stocks To Invest In.

Dividend investing took a backseat in 2023 as an unending optimism prevailed the market thanks to the AI-led rally that kept buoying tech stocks higher and higher, defying recession forecasts and inflation-related worries. But can the 2023 rally continue through 2024? US Bank in its 2024 outlook report titled “The Year of It Ain’t Over ’til it’s Over” said that its experts forecast slower growth at least during the first half of 2024 as consumer savings dissipate and effects of rate hikes become visible.

“Inflation, interest rates and earnings are interrelated keys to equity price movements, with inflation levels persisting above the Fed’s price stability target entrenching a period of higher interest rates. Higher interest rates increase competition from bond investments, which pressures valuation measures such as the price-to-earnings ratio (the share price equity investors are willing to pay for realized or future earnings). Additional cautionary factors likely to weigh on equity returns in the new year include narrow equity sector performance leadership in 2023, the potential for economic and corporate earnings pressures to emerge in 2024, already-elevated prices of technology- related companies and geopolitical issues including ongoing conflicts between Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Hamas as well as tensions between the U.S. and China.”

The Pendulum is Swinging in Favor of Dividend Stocks

The latest inflation report showed the Fed’s long battle against inflation might not be over after all and we are not out of the woods yet. Geopolitical risks, diminishing household savings and persistent inflation have made dividend stocks like The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL), and PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) relevant again. Matt Powers, managing partner at Powers Advisory Group, said in a program on CNBC earlier this month that the “pendulum is swinging” in favor of dividend stocks as he advised investors to load up on dividend-paying companies with a strong history of dividend growth.

Methodology

For this article used manual research and stock screeners to pick Canadian dividend stocks with high sales growth reported over the past five years and in the most recent quarters. With each stock we have mentioned hedge fund sentiment. Hedge funds’ top 10 consensus stock picks outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 140 percentage points over the last 10 years (see the details here). That’s why we pay very close attention to this often-ignored indicator.

(NYSE:CGAU).

Heartland Value Fund stated the following regarding Centerra Gold Inc. (NYSE:CGAU) in its fourth quarter 2023 investor letter:

“Early last year, we highlighted Centerra Gold Inc. (NYSE:CGAU), a producer of gold and copper. With the recent pivot by the Federal Reserve to an easy money policy, we thought an update of this underappreciated hard asset was timely.

Centerra continues to make progress in increasing production while lowering costs. During the third quarter, the Oksut mine restarted, resulting in earnings per share of $0.20 while throwing off cash flow in excess of $100 million. Centerra remains debt free with cash soaring to $492 million, or $2.28 per share. A new management team is focused on optimizing a diverse portfolio of assets, including a strategy to boost the value of its molybdenum business for eventual sale. With an admirable balance sheet, Centerra has the resources to fund an aggressive exploration program in North America, pay a 3.3% dividend, and embark on an 8.5% repurchase of shares outstanding.

Trading below stated book value, approximately 60% of NAV, and less than 3X EV/EBITDA, we believe Centerra remains an outstanding small cap value.”

FPA Crescent Fund made the following comment about Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ:OTEX) in its Q2 2023 investor letter:

“Open Text Corporation (NASDAQ:OTEX)t was a relatively short-lived holding in comparison to our typical time frame. We were attracted to this Canadian-based provider of enterprise software due to its stable revenue stream. More than 80% of Open Text’s revenue was recurring, which helped deliver attractive mid-30s EBITDA margins. We considered the business to have a sticky customer base that included 97 of the 100 largest companies in the world. Purchased at a low double-digit multiple to after-tax free cash flow, we expected to own the company for years, with capital deployment going towards dividends, buybacks, and small bolt-on acquisitions, as it had in the past. Unfortunately, to our surprise, while we owned the stock, Open Text announced a relatively large acquisition in the form of UK-based Micro Focus. Familiar with the target, we were unenthused about both the asset and increased debt on the balance sheet from funding the purchase, so we chose to exit stage left rather than try to re-write our investment thesis.”

A New Dawn is Coming to U.S. Stocks

Published on May 2, 2024 at by Insider Monkey Staff

I work for one of the largest independent financial publishers in the world – representing over 1 million people in 148 countries.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
