Looking for both growth and dividends? These 2 ASX shares can be looked at

While certain shares are known to pay dividends to shareholders, the others have high growth potential. Investors pick up these shares based on their needs and investment portfolio requirements. However, there also exist some shares that can be classified both as growth and dividend stocks. These stocks can provide shareholders useful mix of both dividends and capital growth. However, investors should only include such shares in their portfolio after due diligence.

Here are two ASX-listed shares that can be looked at for both growth and dividends:

Brickworks Ltd (ASX:BKW)

Brickworks is in the business of manufacturing, selling, and distributing building products in Australia. Brickworks is fast expanding with acquisitions in US. It recently acquired a brick distributor to boost its scale.

Brickworks owns a substantial number of shares of Washington H Soul Pattinson and Co Ltd and is benefiting from the long-term returns and growing dividend. The company also plans to become more diversified with its investments after the recent acquisition of Milton.

The industrial property trust joint venture with Goodman Group also holds substantial growth potential. The company’s industrial properties are witnessing strong boost driven by industry trends towards online shopping.
