The Best Dividend Growth Stocks

Dividend Stocks That Keep On Giving By Fool. Investors these days are inundated with uncertainty. Not to recite the litany of potential problems threatening the health of the increasingly weak global recovery (European debt, slowing growth in China, the U.S. recovery losing steam, etc., etc., etc.), but we have a lot weighing on our shoulders. Navigate to any news site and you get swamped by these stories. Enough of it.

The companies below have a market caps over $2 billion (so you avoid buying into more risky micro-cap companies). They each have yields in excess of 3% and trade for less than 15 times their current diluted earnings per share. Finally, they all have grown their payouts at a rate greater than 20% annually over the last 10 years. Let’s see what they have to offer.
