Morningstar offers a premium stock screening tool which allows users to filter specific results. I recently ran a screener looking for higher yielding stocks that are well liked for current undervaluation and offered above average historic dividend growth.The screen criteria:

·       US Domestic Company

·       Morningstar Rating of 4 or 5 Stars (their highest)

·       Current Yield Over 4.0%

·       5-yr Dividend Growth over 7%

It is not surprising 7 out of the 8 stocks are either energy or financial asset managers.These are the two most beaten down segments of their respective out-of-favor industrial sectors.Five out of the eight are master limited partnerships.

An undervalued stock offering greater than a 4% current yield with a history of raising annual distributions by almost 3 times the inflation rate should be of interest to investors on many fronts.These eight stocks should be on your research list or in your portfolio.
