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.
For this article, I screened Dividend Radar stocks to find discounted Utilities with safe dividends, preferring Utilities likely to deliver strong total returns over the next five years.
