As a dividend growth investor, I highly value consistent earnings growth.Consistent earnings growth gives a company options, either to grow the business, to retain the earnings, or to return it to shareholders as dividends or share buybacks. Of course, I'm mostly interested in dividends, so I look for consistent dividend growth commensurate with consistent earnings growth.
For the purposes of this article, I consider earnings growth to be consistent if a graph of the earnings over the past ten years increases monotonically.
I used F.A.S.T. Graphs to look for stocks matching my definition of consistent earnings growth and found seven that meet the criteria, three of which I own.
To see the seven stocks, please read this article at Seeking Alpha. I present 12-year price/earnings correlated F.A.S.T. Graphs of each stock along with earnings growth estimates.
