3 High-Yielding, Discounted Dividend Growth Stocks
I've been working with Portfolio Insight to develop a Dividend Quality Grade for dividend stocks.
We evaluate all dividend-paying stocks and assess the likelihood of a dividend increase in the next twelve months. We also identify stocks at risk of freezing or cutting their dividends. In backtests, our approach accurately predicted a failure to continue dividend increases in more than 98% of cases!
For this article, I used a pre-release version of Dividend Quality Grades to extract Dividend Champions and Dividend Contenders with A+ Dividend Quality Grades. These are Exceptional dividend growth stocks with solid fundamentals and dividend increase streaks of ten years or more.
Additionally, I screened for stocks trading below my fair value estimates. These stocks offer good value and are suitable for immediate investment.

10 Dividend Growth Stocks For December 2022

Monthly Review of DivGro: November 2022
Welcome to the November review of DivGro, my portfolio of dividend growth stocks. I provide a summary of transactions and dividends received in the past month. I also consider the impact on DivGro's projected annual dividend income (PADI).
In November, I did some portfolio reorganization. The main reason for doing so was to round out my positions, where possible, to multiples of 100 shares. I'm using options trading to boost dividend income, and for covered calls, I prefer having multiples of 100 shares so I can write covered calls on all my shares.
I added shares to 17 existing positions and reduced my investment in one holding. Additionally, I closed five positions, including two closed-end funds (CEFs). Ten DivGro stocks announced dividend increases in November, while four positions were affected by dividend cuts or exchange-rate fluctuations. The net result of these changes is that DivGro's PADI decreased by about 0.1% in November. Year over year, PADI increased by 18.6%.
As for dividend income, in November, I received dividends totaling $2,598 from 25 stocks in my portfolio, a year-over-year decrease of 12%. So far in 2022, I've collected $41,718 in dividends, or about 97% of my 2022 goal of $43,200.

7 Dividend Growth Stocks For December 2022

Monthly Review Of DivGro: October 2022
I'm a little behind on my monthly reviews! It's December already, but I'm only now reviewing DivGro's activities in October!
The goal of my monthly reviews is to share updates I've made to the portfolio and to provide a summary of dividends collected. I also look at how the month's activities have impacted DivGro's projected annual dividend income (PADI).
In October, I added shares to two existing positions, and seven DivGro stocks announced dividend increases in October, while one closed-end fund (CEF) I own announced a distribution cut. Additionally, I own some stocks that issue dividends in CAD (Canadian Dollars), and recent payments actually lowered PADI due to the impact of exchange-rate fluctuations. The net result of these changes is that PADI increased by about 0.7% in October and 24.1 year-over-year.
As for dividend income, in October, I received dividends totaling $3,064 from 31 stocks in my portfolio, a year-over-year increase of 36%. So far in 2022, I've collected $39,120 in dividends, or about 91% of my 2022 goal of $43,200.
