7 Dividend Growth Stocks For January 2022

My monthly 7 Dividend Growth Stocks series present seven high-quality dividend growth stocks for further analysis and possible investment.

I apply different screens every month to narrow down my watch list of more than 700 dividend growth stocks, Dividend Radar. Changing the screens from month to month highlights various aspects of dividend growth [DG] investing. For example, income investors prefer higher-yielding stocks, growth-oriented investors favor higher DG rates, and value investors look for deep discounts.

I screened for discounted stocks yielding at least 3% to compile this month’s candidates. I also required stocks to have Chowder Numbers (C#’s) that indicate some likelihood of delivering annualized returns of 8% or higher.

The latest Dividend Radar (dated January 14, 2022) contains 709 stocks. Of these, 158 are Investment Grade, 166 yields at least 3%, and 315 are discounted. Furthermore, 477 are likely or somewhat likely to deliver annualized returns of at least 8%. Only 35 stocks pass all four screens.

I ranked these candidates using DVK Quality Snapshots and my ranking system.

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 use different screens for each of these article series, so they won't cover the same stocks.
