Hi,
Dividend growth is a powerful signal of a company's:
- Financial health
- Management's confidence
- Commitment to long-term value creation
Dividend growth stocks have historically generated superior returns with less volatility relative to stocks with flat dividends, stocks that reduce their dividend, and stocks that don’t pay dividends
Source: Nuveen, Why Dividend Growth?, Figure 1.
The above fact should not be overlooked.
It’s especially rare to find an investing factor that has historically offered – and I believe is likely to continue offering – both superior returns and lower volatility.
And it stands to reason that dividend growth stocks would provide both stronger returns and lower volatility versus non-dividend growth stocks.
That's because rising dividends are a positive signal of:
- Underlying business growth on a per share basis
- Consistent cash flow generation ability
When a stock’s dividend per share is increased, shareholders get a boost to their passive income – without lifting a finger.
On Dividend Growth
Dividend growth is measured in:
- Years of consecutive increases
- Percentage or compound increase over a number of years.
All other things being equal, longer streaks and greater percentage increases are preferred.
Longer streaks are preferred because they show a company can increase dividends over a wide range of economic and competitive environments. They show evidence of a durable competitive advantage. It’s no small feat to boost a dividend year-after-year for decades at a time, through recessions, wars, and epidemics.
Greater percentage dividend increases are preferred because they show that the company is willing and able to pay more to shareholders. This is a sign management expects cash flow growth and stability on a per share basis.
And since dividends are paid with actual cash, they can’t be faked. A company cannot pay dividends for any meaningful length of time without generating cash to support the dividend.
Of course, not all dividend growth stocks make equally good investments...
And that's where the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter (SDG) shows its dividend compounding power.
