Year to date, the S&P 500 is flat amid geopolitical uncertainty, tariffs, and a potential recession. If you’re an investor in the growth phase, I wouldn’t blame you if the current market conditions kept you up at night. 

It's been said that time in the market beats market timing, and I agree. For those in the growth phase of their investing career, some stocks at their current prices represent an opportunity to pick up quality names that are trading at a discount compared with just 12 months ago (remember when we were cheering right after Christmas?).   

That’s why I’m on the hunt today for large, quality companies that pay a dividend, are highly rated, and have the potential to double. These high-growth dividend stocks are ideal for a growth portfolio, while also paying a dividend. Now, you might be wondering, how can I know what dividend stocks could double?  

Well, rest assured, I’m not going to be reading tea leaves, at least not today. Rather, I’ll be digging into what Wall Street is saying, combining analyst ratings, high target prices, and my personal favorite, a spreadsheet. The result will be a list of companies that pay a dividend and, based on high-target prices set by Wall Street, their stocks could double in the next year.

How I Found The Three High-Growth Dividend Stocks That Could Double In 1 Year.

With Barchart’s Stock Screener, I screened for dividend stocks using the following filters:

• Market Cap ($K): >$10B - Large, established companies only.
• Current Analyst Rating: Strong Buy - Only the best for this article.
• Number of Analysts: >12 - The more analysts, the stronger the consensus.
• Annual Dividend Yield (%): >0.01% - To include stocks that paid a dividend in the last twelve months.
• Last Price: Blank - The stock's last trading price.
• High Target Price: >0.01 - Some companies don’t have high target prices. We want them for this analysis. 

The Results

After hitting “See results”, Barchart’s Stock Screener generates the following report:

According to the screener, there are 106 large, “Strong Buy” rated companies on the list. The headers also include the data we need, most importantly: Last Price, and High Target. With these two figures, we can determine the upside potential in %.  To get the data, I downloaded the list, and then opened it in my favorite spreadsheet. I created a column called “Pot. Upside %” and used the following formula: =(H2/G2)-1

Finally, I filled to the bottom, and sorted based on the Potential Upside. This leaves me with the following:

In order, the three highest-growth dividend stocks based on “high target” price vs their stocks last trading price are: Marvell Technology, Ftai Aviation, and JD.com.

With that out of the way, I’ll discuss each one and why I like them.

Marvell Technology (MRVL)

First up is Marvell Technology, Inc., which was created in 1995. Today, Marvell is a leader in next-generation data-centric technologies. Today, they are a leading U.S.-based chip manufacturer that powers critical infrastructure in five core segments. However, 75% of its revenue comes from data center clients.  

Marvell’s stock is down around 50% from recent highs of around $125 in January 2025 on the back of weaker-than-expected results. Indeed, growth stocks often demand more than what the analysts suggest, and when that happens, big spikes in the stock occur. 

Marvell recently reported revenue of $5.77 billion in 2024, which translates to a paltry 4.71% increase from the previous year, but the company also reported a net loss of $885 million - obviously not impressing investors. 

What The Analysts Say About MRVL Stock

Over the last 52 weeks, MRVL stock has traded between $47.08 and $127.48. Today, it is at the lower end of that range. That said, the consensus rating among 31 analysts is "Strong Buy," with an average score of 4.74. The high price target on the stock is $188.00, which suggests the stock could more than double over the next 12 months.

Ftai Aviation Ltd. (FTAI)

Second on the list of dividend stocks that could double next year is FTAI Aviation Ltd. This company supplies commercial jet engines, specializing in CFM-56’s, engine modules, and materials. 

The company develops and manufactures aircraft engines and aftermarket components in collaboration with its aerospace product segment. Moreover, FTAI sells and leases its aviation assets to its customers. In fact, the CFM-56 has the largest market share of aircraft engines in service today. 

What The Analysts Say About FTAI

Over the past 52 weeks, FTAI stock has traded between $75.06 and $181.64. Today, the stock trades around the middle of the range, suggesting a larger move, up or down, could happen as a result of news. 

FTAI Aviation is rated a “Strong buy” with a high target price of $300, which suggests a potential upside of 261%.

JD.com Inc ADR (JD)

Last on the list of high-growth dividend stocks is JD.com, Inc, essentially the Amazon of China. Known locally as Jingdong and founded in 1988, today, JD.com is  is one of China’s largest e-commerce companies and a major player in the global online retail market. 

JD.com offers a wide array of products, including electronics, apparel, home goods, and groceries, serving hundreds of millions of active customers.

Like Amazon, what sets JD.com apart is its self-operated logistics network, one of the most sophisticated in the world. The company maintains control over warehousing, delivery, and after-sales services, ensuring fast and reliable customer experiences. Its supply chain capabilities extend across China and increasingly to global markets, with same-day or next-day delivery available in many areas.

What the Analysts Say About JD.com

JD stock is rated a consensus “Strong Buy” among 17 analysts. With a high target price of $70, the stock suggests as much as 208% upside over the next year.

Final Thoughts

These three names represent opportunities to buy dividend stocks with the potential to double over the next year and could be ideal for those in the growth phase of their investing career. That said, if you're an octogenarian living on social security, a pension, and dividends, these names are probably not the best choice. Regardless, buying during times of uncertainty can be a good way to pick up companies at a discount. However, picking the right names is most important. Analyst ratings give us an idea of what Wall Street thinks about the companies. And more than one analyst is always a good idea to get a proper consensus.
