15 Best Performing Dividend Growth Stocks

3 Market-Leading Dividend Growth Stocks By Scott's Investments. Equity markets have felt like a roller coaster this spring and summer, with major US indices bouncing between technical highs and lows. While we continue to trade in a broad range, I thought it would be helpful to identify dividend stocks that have bucked the trend and have show relative strength over the past three, six, and 12 months. Below are the top 15 stocks based on the average of their three-, six-, and 12-month returns.
