10 Dividend Growth Stocks July 2019

The CCC list is an excellent resource for dividend growth investors. It contains nearly 900 stocks trading on U.S. exchanges that have paid higher dividends for at least five consecutive calendar years. An accompanying spreadsheet provides valuable data and is updated monthly, courtesy of Justin Law.

In this article, I rank a subset of the CCC stocks and present the 10 top-ranked stocks for consideration. I use a ranking system that assigns letter grades to stocks relative to their performance among sector peers. Using a sector-oriented ranking system avoids the problems associated with ranking dissimilar stocks.

This month I decided to rank CCC stocks in the Materials sector.

The latest CCC list (dated 06/28/19) contains 886 stocks. There are 136 Dividend Champions with increasing calendar year payouts for the past 25 years; 233 Dividend Contenders (past 10-24 years); and 517 Dividend Challengers (past 5-9 years).

The CCC spreadsheet contains only 45 Materials sector stocks. I ranked 37 of these stocks after excluding stocks trading over the counter, stocks with market caps below $1 billion, and stocks with yields below 1%.

To see the top 10 ranked stocks for July 2019, please read this article at Seeking Alpha. As usual, I provide fair value estimates and key metrics, as well as F.A.S.T. Graphs charts for three of the top 10 ranked stocks.
