Top 5 Earnings Growth Stocks with Dividends for 2021

GQG Partners owned 3.08 million shares of Mastercard on September 30, valued at over $1.04 billion. If not for a miniscule earnings dip of less than 1% in 2017, Mastercard Incorporated (NYSE:MA) would be in the midst of an 11-year run of steadily rising earnings. Mastercard made up for that slight decline with two of its best years ever, more than doubling its EPS between 2017 and 2019.

Thanks to that earnings surge, Mastercard has been able to raise its quarterly dividend payments by 60% since 2018. However, as MA shares have risen by over 120% since the end of 2017, they actually yield even less now, at just 0.47%. With a low payout ratio of about 0.23, there is still plenty of potential for robust future dividend growth.
