7 Dividend Growth Stocks For May 2022

Every month, I present seven dividend growth stocks from my Dividend Radar watch list for further analysis and possible investment. 

I use different screens every month to highlight specific aspects of dividend growth [DG] investing. This month, growth and total return investors will find some excellent candidates worth consideration. 

To compile this month's candidates, I considered investment-grade stocks with a 5-year trailing total return [TTR] of at least 26%, which is the rate that would double an investment every three years. All the candidates trade below my risk-adjusted Buy Below prices.

Is Selling Options Risky?

By Derek of Positively Passive Income

Whether you’ve been investing in stocks for a while or are just getting started, you’ve probably heard about options. And most likely, you’ve heard at least one story about an investor losing their shirt over an options trade gone wrong.

The Dividend Kings Ranked By Quality Score

I created DivGro in January 2013 to create the proverbial dividend-generating machine. DivGro has grown beyond my wildest dreams and now generates dividend income of $3,277 per month, on average. That's a tidy income stream, which I plan to reinvest until and perhaps into, retirement. 

In my annual reviews, I look at DivGro's performance as measured by dividend income, dividend increases, annualized returns, and rate of return. I also look at some highlights of the past year and share my outlook for the coming year.
