My watch list for candidates is Dividend Radar, a list of stocks trading on U.S. Exchanges with dividend increase streaks of at least five years. The list is updated and published every Friday and is available for free download here. The latest edition (dated July 23, 2021) contains 762 stocks.
DVK Quality Snapshots provide a simple yet elegant way to assess the quality of dividend stocks. Devised by David Van Knapp, the system assigns 0-5 points to each of five quality indicators for a maximum quality score of 25 points.
Only seven Dividend Radar stocks have perfect quality scores, and I rate these stocks Exceptional.
Dividend growth investing is a long-term endeavor. While I prefer to buy stocks at discounted valuations, the highest-quality dividend growth stocks rarely trade at discounted valuations! For that reason, I’m willing to pay a premium of up to 10% for stocks rated Exceptional. In my view, it is better to get into the game than to wait on the sidelines for an ideal entry point.
