10 Dividend Growth Stocks For July 2018

The CCC list is a valuable source for dividend growth investors.

Previously compiled by the late David Fish and now maintained by Justin Law, the CCC list contains U.S. companies with streaks of at least 5 years of higher dividend payments. The accompanying spreadsheet provides key statistics of the CCC stocks.

In my monthly 10 Dividend Growth Stocks series, I identify 10 CCC stocks for further research. To create the list, I rank a selection of the CCC stocks and assign a 7-star rating to each stock. Stocks rated 5 stars or better are worthy of further analysis. This month's top 10 list contains two 7-star and eight 6-star stocks.

This month, I trimmed the CCC list using screens based on the Value Line Ranking System:

1. Financial Strength Rating of A or better
2. Safety Rank of 1 or 2

These screens trim the latest CCC list (dated 6/29/18) from 891 stocks to 155 candidates. I ranked these candidates using data available in the CCC spreadsheet. From the preliminary ranking, I selected the top 50 candidates and ranked them using data from the CCC spreadsheet and additional sources like finbox.io, Simply Safe Dividends, Morningstar, and F.A.S.T. Graphs.
