The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index consists of 69 dividend growth stocks, which, with some exceptions, have increased their annual dividends for 25 or more consecutive years.
In this article, I rank the Dividend Aristocrats by quality scores and present undervalued, fairly valued, and overvalued stocks with detailed metrics and fair value estimates.
I'm using 9F Quality Scores, my new quality scoring system that rates dividend stocks on a 10-point scale across nine weighted factors. Each factor blends qualitative signals and quantitative metrics.
I'm also using an expanded valuation system to determine a stock's fair value [FV]. The system uses the same wisdom-of-the-crowds philosophy as before, but adds calculated estimates and rigorous statistical analysis to arrive at a consensus FV.
