Today I would like to take a look at the recommendations from brokerage firms or analysts.
I analyzed the Dividend Challengers group (stocks with more than 5 years of consecutive dividend growth) by the current recommendations.
Seventeen of the stocks have a current strong buy rating. Attached you will find a full list with some fundamentals.
It's a little bit easier to join the club of Dividend Challengers than to be a Dividend King, Champion, Aristocrat or Contender.
Here are my favorites from the screen...
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.
Attached you will find 4 dividend stocks that are growing their earnings and dividends much faster than the S&P 500 at large.
They all pay a better-than-average dividend today, and have promising business prospects. Investors who buy these stocks today will likely soon enjoy an outsized yield on their initial investment, thanks to rapid payout growth.
Here are the results...
