Companies that have raised their
dividend payments for at least 10 consecutive years are known as dividend
achievers. It's an exclusive club containing just 335 companies.
It's always hard
to find the good stocks from the bad performer. I personal approach is based on
fundamentals. If a stock looks cheap, it offers values, than it might be buy.
But sometimes they are cheap for a simple reason. They have longer enduring operational
problems or face a hard headwind for the future.
It could also make
sense to look what analysts recommend or discover the trade statistics of big
guru's like Warren Buffett or George Soros.
Today I like to
focus on the highest recommended stocks from the dividend achievers list. Those
stocks are highlights and were rewarded by analysts with the highest buy
recommendation, a strong buy.
Only 13 of 335
companies received such a high rating. Attached you can find a full list of the
results.
These are the results....
