Herbalife Ltd - HLF

Typically I do not support a stock which pays less than a 2% quarterly dividend yield, however this company is on a roll and ready to break out! Herbalife Ltd., stock ticker HLF, pays a 1.20% dividend yield, which is 20 cents per share per quarter. HLF rose $4.35 today, and this won't be the last time it pops.

Herbalife is a global network marketing company that sells weight management, nutritional supplements, energy, sports and fitness products and personal care products. HLF has a network of 2.3 million independent distributors where the they sell their products through retail stores.

But wait there is more! It was recently decided that HLF will increase their quarterly dividend by 50% to 30 cents a share from 20 cents, a third increase in less than two years!! HLF's quarterly payout has tripled from when it first started paying shareholder dividends in 2007. Additionally, HLF reported 4th Quarter 2011 earnings that grew 25% to 86 cents a share. That exceed Wall Streets views of 73 cents by 18%.

Herbalife's share price target increased to $90.00 by market experts. HLF closed today at $66.70. That sounds pretty good to me, but keep in mind, this blog is not about getting rich quick then losing it all. HLF is a growth stock with consistent dividend increases, which are two key factors for a stock which should be in your Roth IRA stock portfolio.
