Industrial Dividend Stocks: A Buy List

The industrial sector is a small one with 359 related companies and only 172 of them are dividend stocks. The average dividend yield amounts to 2.01 and the P/E ratio has a value of 24.59 in average.

I personally have only a small share of industrial stocks in my private portfolios. The main reason is that the sector has many cyclic companies and stocks from the sector are often very capital intensive. They need huge amounts of money to keep the business running and growing. As a result, dividend payments are low.

But there are also some great growth stories. I own shares of United Technologies, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. My biggest position is General Electric from which I have 104% unrealized gains.
