Growth and income
make a winning combination that in the best dividend stocks leads to
life-changing, long-term gains.
In order to find the best of the best, I looked for stocks in the Russell 3000 Index that have a current dividend yield of at least 2% and have raised their payouts by at least 10% annually over the past 10 years.
In addition, to
incorporate the need for growth, I took the qualifying stocks and ranked them
by their total return since a decade ago. Below are the top yielding results in detail and attached a full list, sorted by yield.
