Dividend Aristocrats are those unique kinds of stocks that rarely go on sale. For more than 25 years, these companies have been churning out ever-increasing dividend payments that show they are more than capable of handling the ups and downs of the economy or their respective industry cycles.
By its very nature, a Dividend Aristocrat tends to be a large and stable blue-chip company with a strong balance sheet. Many of these companies are familiar names that produce household brands. Let's look at the cheapest Dividend Aristocrats in this article.

When it comes to dividends, Warren Buffett won't dish them out -- but he will take them.
Buffett has for years maintained a strict no-dividends policy at Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B). The conglomerate has paid only one dividend during his tenure, in 1967, and he has joked that he "must have been in the bathroom" when the decision was made.
"The question is about evaluating Berkshire when it doesn't pay any dividends," the billionaire said in a 1998 lecture at the University of Florida Business School. "And it won't pay dividends, either. That's a promise I can keep. All you get with Berkshire stock is that you can stick it in your safe deposit box, and every year you take it out and fondle it."
While Buffett won't distribute dividends to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, he has no qualms about collecting them from others. Most of the companies in his investment portfolio make regular dividend payments.

Achieving a double-digit dividend yield isn't a complicated process, however two key ingredients are essential.
First, you'll need to identify and invest in high quality businesses that will grow their dividends for the foreseeable future.
Ideally you're looking for dividend growth of at least 5% per year. Then, you'll need significant patience. A 4% yield won't grow into a 10% yield overnight. You're most likely looking at a 10-15-year holding period to see a 4% or 5% yield transform into double-digits. If you get panicked out of the market at the first sign of volatility, this strategy will be much harder to execute.
However with a little bit of research into quality dividend growth stocks and a buy-and-hold strategy, you'll have every chance of being able to enjoy sizeable returns in the future.
However, what if there was an investing strategy that allowed you to enjoy yields as high as 10%, 15% or even 20%, without taking on any excessive risk or investing in high yielding stocks that could possibly see their dividends cut? The good news is that such a strategy exists.
Welcome to the world of dividend growth investing. Attached you will find a couple of stocks that might achieve a 10% dividend yield in the near future.
Each of the stocks I show you have a dividend yield of at least 2% while earnings are expected to grow by more than 10 percent for the next five years. In addition, every stock has managed to grow dividends over a period of more than 10 years without a break.

Dividend stocks are always popular with investors. What could be better than getting a quarterly check just for holding a stock?
While many investors tend to gauge these stocks primarily by the size of their yields, there are other factors to consider.
Long-term investors will want to pick stocks with substantial future growth potential and ones that are able to continue funding dividend increases.
After all, the true divided yield you get is based on the price you paid, not the current price of the stock.
We've tried to predict what will be the best dividend stock to have in your portfolio 10 years from now. 4 stocks came in our minds.
