Home Run Number 46

I'm back celebrating another Home Run, DivGro's 46^th. 

When a stock in my portfolio doubles my original investment in total returns, it becomes a Home Run stock! 

After waiting 375 days to celebrate DivGro's 45^th Home Run, I'm happy to say the wait for Home Run #46 was just 11 days!

I announced my 45^th Home Run stock, Oracle (ORCL), on 19 June 2023. In that article, I identified two likely candidates for my next Home Run stock, TJX (TJX) and Snap-On (SNA).

My Highest Quality Dividend Champions

This article presents the highest-quality Dividend Champions, which are companies listed on U.S. exchanges that have consistently higher annual dividend payouts for at least 25 years. Subsequent articles will present the highest-quality Dividend Contenders (10-24 years) and Challengers (5-9 years).

There are more than 130 Dividend Champions, and researching all of them would be a daunting task. Instead, I use a quality scoring system to assess the quality of dividend growth [DG] stocks, and focus my research efforts on the highest-quality DG stocks. 

The article presents the 20 highest-quality Dividend Champions based on my quality scoring system. Additionally, I use several screens to find high-quality stocks with quality scores in the range of 21-30, and I highlight several stocks trading at favorable valuations and offering compelling metrics.

Home Run Number 45

It's fun to celebrate when a stock in my portfolio doubles my original investment in total returns. This article celebrates another such milestone, DivGro's 45^th Home Run!

It has been 375 days since last I celebrated a DivGro Home Run!

On 9 June 2022, I announced my 44^th Home Run stock, Chevron (CVX). In that article, I identified three likely candidates for my next Home Run stock, but another stock beat them to the punch!

June 2023 Newsletter

I recently published the June edition of my DivGro 2.0 newsletter.

This edition includes a quick market recap, the May review of my DivGro portfolio, and a section revealing the top-ranked Dividend Radar stocks in each of the GICS sectors. 

In May, I closed three positions and reduced my holdings in one position. Also, I added shares to four existing positions. Six DivGro stocks announced dividend increases in May, while one paid a larger dividend and another paid a smaller dividend due to exchange rate fluctuations.

The net result of these changes is that DivGro's projected annual dividend income [PADI] increased by about 0.2% in May, to $46,782. Year over year, PADI increased by 7.8%.

O Dividend Increase

Realty Income ($O) announced its next dividend of $0.2555 per share, a 0.20% increase over the company's previous payout of $0.255.

DivGro's annual dividend income will increase by $1.20 as a result.
