The Top-Ranked Dividend Growth Stocks In The Industrials Sector

The COVID-19 pandemic has ended the 11-year bull market and initiated a global recession. For dividend growth investors, the landscape is significantly different than just a few months ago. In my view, it is crucial to focus on quality even more than before. And an extra dose of risk assessment wouldn't hurt, either!

A recent article presented the three top-ranked dividend growth stocks in each of the GICS sectors. Following a suggestion by a reader, I've decided to start a new series of articles ranking dividend growth stocks in each GICS sector by quality score.

This article presents the ten top-ranked dividend growth stocks in the Industrials sector. For each stock, I provide quality indicators, key metrics, and fair value estimates. To rank dividend growth stocks, I sort them by decreasing quality scores as determined by DVK Quality Snapshots.

Dividend growth investors are facing difficult decisions, especially if stocks they own suffer dividend suspensions or significant cuts. Do you sell, hold, or buy more?

My approach will continue to favor investing in the highest-quality stocks. I identify such stocks using DVK Quality Snapshots, which provide an elegant and effective way to assess the quality of dividend stocks. 

Many high-quality dividend growth stocks that traded at premium valuations just a few months ago are available at discounts now! Among the 10 top-ranked Industrials sector stocks, seven trade at discounted valuations. 

I hope this article will give dividend growth investors looking to expand their Industrials sector holdings a good starting point for stock selection and further research.

To see the top-ranked dividend growth stocks in the Industrials sector, please read this article at Seeking Alpha. As a bonus, I include tickers of lower-ranked dividend growth stocks in the Industrials sector (stocks ranked 11-30).
