High-Quality Dividend Growth Stocks With Higher Yields

In a recent article, I ranked the Dividend Aristocrats using a modified version of David Van Knapp's quality scoring system. The system employs five widely used quality indicators from independent sources and assigns 0-5 points to each quality indicator, for a maximum of 25 points.

While there are exceptions, the highest quality Dividend Aristocrats are low yielding stocks with yields less than 3%. In this article, I'm presenting high-quality dividend growth [DG] stocks yielding at least 3%. Note that David Van Knapp's original article presented high-quality DG stocks yielding 4% or more.

The article includes tables listing quality indicators, key metrics, and fair value estimates.

There are more than 300 DG stocks with yields of at least 3% in the Dividend Champions spreadsheet [CCC]. I ranked 297 of these and present the 85 highest ranked DG here, those with quality scores of 15 or higher.

I love the simplicity of David Van Knapp's quality scoring system, which does a remarkable job of identifying high-quality stocks. I hope dividend growth investors looking for high-quality dividend growth stocks with higher yields, will find this article valuable.
