Monthly Review Of DivGro: July 2021
Every month, I review my portfolio of dividend growth stocks, DivGro. My goal is to share updates and provide a summary of the dividends I collected. I also monitor DivGro's projected annual dividend income (PADI) and its monthly counterpart, PMDI.
In July, I opened two new positions and added shares to five existing positions. Additionally, I closed five positions and reduced my holdings in six existing positions. Four DivGro stocks announced dividend increases in July. The net result of these changes is that PADI decreased by about 4.1% in July. Year over year, PADI increased by 8.5%.As for dividend income, in July I received dividends totaling $2,597 from 27 stocks in my portfolio, a year over year increase of 46%. So far in 2021, I've collected $21,014 in dividends or about 61% of my 2021 goal of $34,500.

7 Best Industrials Sector Dividend Stocks
In this article series, I present the top-ranked dividend growth stocks in each GICS sector. Sector diversification is one way to mitigate portfolio risk, as some sectors perform better than others in different economic conditions.
To rank stocks, I sort them in descending order by quality scores, as determined by DVK Quality Snapshots. When two stocks have the same quality score, I use tie-breaking metrics to rank one stock higher than the other.
My watch list for dividend growth stocks is Dividend Radar, a list of stocks trading on U.S. Exchanges with dividend increase streaks of five or more years. Dividend Radar is updated and published every Friday and is available for download here. The latest edition (dated August 20, 2021) contains 755 stocks, 118 of which are in the Industrials sector.

7 Discounted Utilities With Generous Dividends
As a dividend growth investor, I look for high-quality dividend growth stocks trading at reasonable valuations. Dividend safety is an important consideration, and I prefer to invest in stocks that have a good chance of delivering solid total returns (dividends plus price appreciation).
Utilities operate in a regulated environment and often as legal monopolies, so they have predictable and stable earnings. This allows some Utilities to pay generous dividends and to increase their dividend payouts over time.
The Chowder Number and 5-year Yield on Cost are measures of a stock’s future total return and dividend income prospects.
