Stocks 7 Dividend Aristocrats Set to Dominate the Next Decade: July 2024
Dividend aristocrats are stocks with at least 25 years of consecutive annual dividend growth. These “regal” dividend stocks are often considered some of the highest-quality long-term stocks to buy and hold. Yet, perception and reality don’t necessarily match. Even when measuring them by total returns, or price appreciation and dividends, many of these names have underperformed relative to the broad market. More importantly, there are “dividend aristocrats,” not to mention “dividend kings.” The latter have over 50 years of consecutive dividend growth, that may have performed well in the past but may generate far less stellar future returns. With this in mind, reconsider buying underperformers or past winners. It’s likely best to stay with names that show promise today and the strongest potential to continue delivering above-average price appreciation and dividend growth. Whittling down a list spanning dozens of dividend aristocrats, these seven stand out as contenders to crush it, through the rest of the decade and into the decade ahead.
