7 Dividend Growth Stocks For July 2021

This article is the first in a new monthly series on TheStreet.com that will rank selections of Dividend Radar stocks and present seven top-ranked stocks for consideration. Dividend Radar tracks stocks trading on U.S. exchanges with dividend increases streaks of five years or more.

To rank stocks, I’ll use DVK Quality Snapshots to determine quality scores and tie-breaking metrics when necessary. DVK Quality Snapshots employs five widely used quality indicators from independent sources and assigns 0-5 points to each quality indicator, for a maximum of 25 points.

Each month, I’ll consider different screens to narrow down the more than 750 Dividend Radar stocks. Screens will focus on various aspects of dividend growth investing, such as dividend yield, dividend growth rate, and stock valuation.

This month, I screened for discounted stocks yielding at least 3%. I also required stocks to have a Chowder Number indicating a likelihood of annualized returns of 8% or more.

To see this month's seven top-ranked stocks, please read this article at TheStreet.com.

Please note that I'll continue to publish my monthly series 10 Dividend Growth Stocks on Seeking Alpha. I'll use different screens for each of these article series, so they won't cover the same stocks.
