Hot Dow Dividend Stocks To Own Right Now

Over the past year, stock prices have risen much faster than earnings, so the P/E ratio of the S&P 500 has risen from 14.2 to 18.1 over the past year; this suggests that further P/E expansion is likely to be harder to come by this year, cautions John Boyd, editor of Fidelity Monitor & Insight.

This means that corporate earnings growth will likely be the bigger determining factor in what stocks return. And, with corporate profit margins at, or very near, all-time highs, the prospect of even fatter margins boosting earnings is unlikely.

So, sales growth will be the likely driver of earnings and that, in turn, depends on the strength of the economy.

From a price versus earnings growth perspective, large-cap growth stocks offer the best value, while mid- and small growth stocks are not far behind.

Value stocks, as a whole, are less attractively priced. Among industry sectors, consumer discretionary and technology offer the best combination of growth expectations and price.

  AT&T� (NYSE: T  ) , up 4%
  AT&T has had to deal with extreme competitive pressures in 2013, as rival Verizon has taken a huge step forward by deciding finally to take full control of its Verizon Wireless joint venture. The move will cost Verizon $130 billion, but it will also change the landscape of the U.S. wireless industry and arguably put Verizon in a much better competitive position compared to AT&T. Many analysts expect AT&T to respond with a buyout or strategic partnership of its own, but for investors seeking growth, the company hasn't been able to prove where it intends to find new avenues for expansion. Until it does, the stock could remain under pressure.
