Twelve Dividend Champions For Further Research
I generate investment ideas from different sources.
I look at the list of weekly dividend increases.
I also try to identify companies for research based on my everyday spending patterns. In other words, I try to unleash my inner Peter Lynch.
I also review the list of dividend achievers/champions/aristocrats for bargains.
From time to time, I also try to apply different screening parameters to identify companies for further research.
Today, I decided to do just that. My screening criteria were as followed:
1) A company has increased dividends for 25 years in a row
2) A company yields at least 2% today
3) The company has a 10 year annualized dividend growth of at least 6%/year
4) The company has a 1, 3 and 5 year annualized dividend growth of at least 6%/year
5) The most recent dividend increase was above 6%
