If a company pays no dividend but buys back tons of its own stock, it means not that the company is bad. The company has the same quality but will not see as a long-term dividend growth investment.
That's one reason why I'm trying to put some buyback kings into the screen. Another lack is that future dividend kings, who are only 3 years on the market and paid two years dividends to the public, will not be included into the search results.
For sure those stocks with a short business age also offer higher risks, but sometimes the business runs for decades but was private.
Today I like to show you a few interesting stocks that have risen dividends over more than 5 consecutive years. Each of the stocks could become a dividend champion or dividend king one day.
But the risk to fail is also higher than for stocks that are still playing the dividend champions league. Exactly 412 stocks managed to grow dividends over more than 5 years.
Here are my personal favorites...
