Does Announcement Make Apple A Good Potential Dividend Growth Stock?

eChristian Investing submits:When researching potential dividend stocks, looking at solid blue-chip stocks is always a good bet. Many investors tend to focus only on stocks included in the Dow Jones Industrial average. This is not necessarily a bad strategy since the Dow includes some of the finest companies in America and 29 of the 30 stocks in the Dow also pay dividends.

Apple is out with Q2 results which are hardly inspiring. Revenue and sales beat, but margins missed and guidance is weak:

By Mike Williams: Shares of Aflac (AFL) were down 4.3% on Wednesday after the company reported Q4 2012 earnings. I believe investors are overreacting to worries about the yen (a weaker USD/JPY exchange rate negatively impacts Aflac's bottom line) and the firm's margins.

George Fisher submits: Macquarie Group (MQBKY.PK) should be seriously considered by dividend seeking investors for current yield and for dividend growth, both of which are enhanced in a declining US dollar environment.

Stone Fox Capital submits:MedcoHealth Solutions (MHS) provides investors the rare opportunity of a growth stock with a strong enough balance sheet and earnings to have a massive Net Payout Yield.

Dobromir Stoyanov submits:General Electric Company (GE) operates as a technology, media, and financial services company worldwide.

Ockham Research submits: On Monday afternoon, Lincare Holdings (LNCR) announced that they will begin disbursing some of their cash to shareholders in the form of a 20 cent regular quarterly dividend.
