I screened all Dividend Champions by the safest stocks (beta ratio below
0.5). Those companies have a volatility which is half as strong the market. In order
to get attractive valuated stocks, the P/E ratio should below twenty. Exactly seventeen Dividend Champions fulfilled these criteria of which nine have a dividend yield
of more than three percent and eight are currently recommended to buy.
