If you're after dividends, value and growth in one investment (let's face it, who isn't?) then you should have these three stocks firmly on your watchlist…
Coca-Cola Amatil Ltd (ASX: CCL) is Australia's, Indonesia's and New Zealand's distributor of Coca-Cola branded products. It also has the exclusive distribution licence for Beam branded alcoholic beverages in Australia.
Whilst its brand power is second to none and its 4.3% partially franked forecast dividend is reliable, its shares also appear good value. At $9.62 per share, it has a healthy margin of safety even if it achieves very modest growth in the next five years.
G8 Education Ltd (ASX: GEM) is already the ASX's largest child care centre owner and operator. However G8 is still expected to grow rapidly in the medium-term. Whilst some investors may be put off by the company's exceptional share price growth in recent years, with a near 20% fall over the past three months it looks to be a compelling buy.
Not only are earnings per share expected to grow strongly in coming years, it is forecast to pay a dividend equivalent to 4.6% fully franked.
Credit Corp Group Limited (ASX: CCP) is Australia's largest receivables management company. Like G8, it is also expected to record a healthy jump in earnings per share and offers a good dividend, currently forecast at 3.6% fully franked, in the coming year.
Despite being a defensive stock pick, management recently confirmed its earnings guidance for FY15. It also increased its guidance of purchased debt ledgers (PDLs) from $80-$90 million to $120-$130 million, which will likely flow through to increased profits from 2016 onwards.
