Dividend investing continues to be popular. This strategy focuses on companies that not only pay dividends but also consistently increase them over time. This approach offers a unique blend of income and growth potential, appealing to a broad range of investors, from those seeking steady income to those aiming for long-term capital appreciation. Additionally, it can provide a sense of security in times of market uncertainty or downturns.
In fact, stocks with a strong history of year-over-year dividend growth form a healthy portfolio with a greater scope of capital appreciation, as opposed to simple dividend-paying stocks or those that have high yields. We have selected five dividend growth stocks — AGCO Corp., Vertiv Holdings Co., TE Connectivity, Cardinal Health Inc. and Woodward Inc. — that could be solid choices for your portfolio.
Here are five of the 10 stocks that fit the bill:
