20 Dogs Of Dividend Achievers With Yields Up To 8.52%

While I'm thinking every day about stocks and their valuation, I decided to create a Chart of the cheapest Dividend Achievers with growth potential.

I call the screening results "Dogs of Dividend Achievers" because they raised dividends over more than 10 consecutive years while having a forward P/E below 15 with a 5%+ earnings growth forecast.

Below you can find the 20 best results with a 2 billion plus market capitalization. I don't like smaller capitalized stocks because of their lack of liquidly and low diversification. They can get ill very fast.

Here are the top yielding Dividend Achiever Dogs....
