7 Dividend Growth Stocks For January 2023

Happy New Year!

I’m excited to present the January edition of my monthly series of dividend growth [DG] stocks picked from Dividend Radar.

Dividend Radar is a weekly automatically generated spreadsheet of DG stocks with dividend increase streaks of five or more years. It is compiled by Portfolio Insight and provided as a free resource for individual and commercial use, with no registration required.

To find candidates for further research and possible investment, I use different screens from month to month. This month, I’m deploying another variation of DVK Quality Snapshots to identify the highest-quality Dividend Radar stocks.

Here are the changes I made to DVK Quality Snapshots for this month's article:

• Value Line's Price Stability replaces Value Line's Safety Rank
• Value Line’s Financial Strength is scored differently
• Added a new quality indicator, Portfolio Insight’s Dividend Quality Grade

With six quality indicators and up to five points available per indicator, the maximum quality score is 30 points instead of 25. 

I scored all stocks in the latest Dividend Radar (dated January 13, 2022) using the new quality scoring system, then ranked them by quality score. 

Please read this article on TheStreet.com to see the seven top-ranked stocks. 

Please note that I publish a similar monthly series, 10 Dividend Growth Stocks, on Seeking Alpha. I use different screens for each article series, so they won't cover the same stocks.
