12 Best Dividend Champions Each Value Investor Should Be Interested In

Even after a 15% pullback, the S&P 500 yields just 2.3% today. Which means if you buy an index fund today, and you never saw a dividend increase, it’d take you more than 40 years to get your initial investment back in cash.

Fortunately companies with growing earnings often do pass their higher profits along to shareholders. And you can really accelerate your returns by buying only those that increase their payouts annually.

There are a lot of companies with steady dividend growth. The longest dividend history has Dividend Champions. Those stocks managed their distribution growth over 25 consecutive years.

13 Dividend Champions That Have Achieved The Highest 10-Year Dividend Growth Rates

Dividend growth investing is sustainable when derived from consistent earnings growth. In its true form, successful dividend growth investing is characterized by instances where annual earnings and dividend growth are almost identical.

In addition, companies that exhibit such traits tend to have their current yields being in the same range of 2% – 3% during prolonged periods of time.

Ordinary yield-chasing investors tend to ignore such companies because they lack the patience or foresight to care for high future yields on cost or strong total returns.

As a result, many of these companies offer low current yields, which tend to stay low for extended periods of time. The lucky investors who purchased such securities however are able to generate high yields on cost over time.

Below, I've selected the 13 dividend champions that have achieved the highest 10-year dividend growth rates.

Here are the results...

10 Top Dividend Champs At 52-Week Lows

I personally look at stocks that are not popular on the market. Those are companies with decreasing stock prices which does not mean that they have a bad running business. Sometimes, there is something wrong with the sentiment or the technicals, only a market issue.

Bottom fishing can sometimes be a big mistake for novice investors. In the past I found it easy to convince myself that buying a stock at the 52 week low is not a risky proposition because of that stock's low price relative to past earnings, dividend yield, or some other metric of value.

But in reality, buying a down trending stock is always risky, as you are betting against the market itself which does not mean that it is bad. Swimming or acting against the storm or crowd could be profitable.

Today, I like to show you those stocks from the Dividend Champions list that is trading around its one year lows. It's only informational but there are also some good names on it. Which do you like?

Today I like to show you some of the 20 stocks from the Dividend Champions list with the fastest dividend growth over the recent decade.

20 Dividend Champions With Highest Cash Distribution Growth Rates Over The Short-Run

Dividend Champions with the fastest short-term dividend growth originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. A growing dividend is normally a good sign for investors. The corporate shows two characteristics to their owners: Strength and power of a healthy and growing business.

The rate of dividend growth is in this context a great measure to judge the success of a business. A company with a 20 percent dividend growth rate must have a stronger growing underlying business than a corporate with a 3 percent growing dividend. The future looks rosy and the management team is more optimistic to share profits of the company at a high level.

Today I would like to present you the 20 fastest growing dividends from the Dividend Champions list over the short-run. 105 companies are part of the list which is a compilation of stocks with over 25 years of consecutive dividend growth.

And the winners are: Services and industrials. No other sectors have more constituents on the list. It was the best place to be in the past to gain a higher dividend. This is not equal to return or profits.

Twelve companies fulfilled these criteria of which nine have a current buy or better rating.
