3 Discounted Dividend Aristocrats

 

These high-quality, discounted dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payouts every year for at least 25 years.

 

 


The annual rebalancing and subsequent changes to the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index have produced a new list of 64 Dividend Aristocrats. These elite companies in the S&P 500 have paid higher dividends every year for at least 25 consecutive years. S&P Dow Jones Indices maintains the index and updates it annually in January.

 

Recently, I ranked the 64 Dividend Aristocrats by quality scores according to DVK Quality Snapshots. Follow the link to download a spreadsheet with fundamental and added value data of all 64 Dividend Aristocrats, courtesy of Portfolio Insight.

 

This article looks at three Dividend Aristocrats trading well below my risk-adjusted Buy Below prices. Two stocks are rated Excellent with quality scores of 23 and 24 (out of 25), respectively, while the other stock is rated Fine with quality scores of 19. The three stocks are discounted by at least 16% relative to my Buy Below prices.

 

I use a survey approach to estimate fair value by collecting fair value estimates and price targets from several online sources, including Portfolio Insight, Morningstar, and Finbox. Additionally, I estimate fair value by dividing each stock’s annualized dividend by its historical 5-year average dividend yield. With as many as 11 available estimates per stock, I ignore the outliers (the lowest and highest values) and use the average of the median and mean of the remaining values as my fair value estimate. Averaging the mean (average) and median (middle value) helps to adjust for skewness in the surveyed estimates.

V.F. Corporation: Undervalued Dividend Aristocrat



 

The markets are back to this year’s lows, although they have bounced back during last week. Many stocks are still trading at or near their 52-week lows. When the market is down, I like to find support levels and create price alerts at those support levels for all the companies that I am interested in buying. One example is V.F. Corporation (VFC), which is an undervalued Dividend Aristocrat.

 

V.F. Corporation (VFC) is one company that has my interest because it hit a critical support level at $45. The chart below shows that it bounced higher when the stock hit the $45 price point. I am very interested in buying shares at this price. The stock is now above the $45 price point with a share price of about $50 per share. However, VFC is still undervalued at current levels, and the dividend yield is just about 4% and attractive mix. We will discuss more details about the company and the amount of undervaluation.

 

Overview of VF Corp

 

The VF Corporation is an American global apparel and footwear company founded in 1899 and now headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The company was formerly known as Vanity Fair mills until 1969. The company’s 13 brands are organized into three categories: Outdoor, Active, and Work. The primary brands are North Face, Timberland, Smartwool, Icebreaker, Altra, Vans, Supreme, Kipling, Napapijri, Eastpak, JanSport, and Dickies. In addition, the company controls 55% of the U.S. backpack market with the JanSport, Eastpak, Timberland, and North Face brands.

 

VFC’s stock price was down 44.5% since its high in April 2021. The main driver of the stock price decrease is that the company is struggling with product shortages, high shipping costs, a stronger dollar, and COVID-19 virus-related disruptions in China. Still, VFC appears to be doing a reasonable job of alleviating these challenges.

 

 

The current stock price of $50.18 (as of this writing) is right at the lower end of the 52-week range, between $44.18 and $84.96 per share. Thus, VFC looks like a stock that seems to be in the right place to buy up shares where both the 52-week range and support line meet.

5 Top Dividend Aristocrats to Beef Up Your Portfolio

 

The 65-member Dividend Aristocrats are among the market's best sources of reliable, predictable income. But these five stand out as truly elite.

 


The past year-plus has been easy going for investors looking to generate profits from equity returns, with the S&P 500 up by almost double from the March 2020 lows. Income, however, is another story altogether. Already-low interest rates started retreating this spring; the yield on the 10-year Treasury note is back down to a paltry 1.3%.

 

Fortunately, investors have a better way to collect reliable, predictable income.

 

Dividend Aristocrats – companies with a track record of increasing shareholder payouts for at least 25 consecutive years – offer the best of many worlds. Most Aristocrats are large-cap blue chips with typically stable earnings, healthy balance sheets and long histories of profitability and growth. That allows them to:

 

  1. Pay secure, typically well-covered dividends.
  2. Raise their payouts regularly without interruption.
  3. Offer the potential for much more significant price gains than bonds typically deliver.

 

Investors have plenty of Dividend Aristocrats to choose from – 65 at present, in fact. But it's unlikely that anyone is looking to buy up individual shares of each and every one. So if you had to buy just a few, which ones should they be?

 

 

To help answer that question, we looked at the full list of Dividend Aristocrats through the lens of the Stock News POWR Ratings System. We then narrowed our focus down to only those Aristocrats receiving a Strong Buy rating from the pros based on the company's current financial situation and future prospects.

 

Based on those criteria, here are the five best Dividend Aristocrats for investors looking to beef up their income portfolios.

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus: Johnson & Johnson

 


Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is a company that many investors are likely familiar with. J&J has been in operation for more than 130 years, and has raised its dividend for 58 years in a row. It has one of the longest and most impressive histories of any dividend growth stock.

 

J&J is a long-standing member of the Dividend Aristocrats.

 

Not only is Johnson & Johnson a Dividend Aristocrat, it is a Dividend King as well. The Dividend Kings are an even more exclusive group of stocks, with 50+ years of consecutive dividend increases. There are just 31 companies that have achieved this accomplishment.

 

J&J has all of the qualities of a great dividend growth stock. It has a dividend yield above the S&P 500 average, backed by a strong brand and highly profitable business model, with potential for long-term growth.

 

This article will discuss the quintessential Dividend Aristocrat that is Johnson & Johnson.

 

J&J is one of the largest companies in the world, but it started from very humble beginnings. It was founded all the way back in 1886 by three brothers, Robert, James, and Edward Johnson. In 1888, the three brothers published a healthcare manuscript titled “Modern Methods of Antiseptic Wound Treatment”, which would quickly become the leading standard for antiseptic surgery techniques.

 

Over the following decades, the company steadily brought new products to market. Soon, the company was the leading manufacturer across several healthcare categories, including baby powder, sanitary napkins, dental floss, and more.

 

 

Today, J&J is a global healthcare giant. It has a market capitalization of $410 billion, and generates annual revenue of more than $81 billion. J&J is a mega-cap stock, a term to describe stocks with market caps above $200 billion.

Dividend Aristocrats: International Business Machines

 


For the 2021 Dividend Aristocrats In Focus series, first up is International Business Machines (IBM). Last year, IBM raised its dividend for the 25th year in a row, making it one of the newest members of the Dividend Aristocrats.

 

IBM has struggled through a prolonged turnaround effort in the past few years. The company has invested heavily in new areas such as artificial intelligence, data, and cloud services while attempting to divest slow-growth legacy businesses. These efforts have had mixed results, as the company is still having difficulty returning to growth.

 

However, IBM has continued to raise its dividend each year. With a high dividend yield above 5% and consistent dividend increases each year, IBM stock could be viewed favorably by income investors.

 

Business Overview

 

IBM is a global information technology company that provides integrated enterprise solutions for software, hardware, and services. In the services business, IBM is the world’s largest IT provider with 5.5% market share. In software, IBM’s software business is mostly middleware, which is the software layer that connects applications and devices to each other.

 

In hardware, IBM sells the z15 mainframes, storage, and the Power-based servers. The company has five business segments: Cloud & Cognitive Software, Global Business Services, Global Technology Services, Systems, and Global Financing.

 

 

On January 21st, IBM reported fourth-quarter and full-year financial results. For the fourth quarter, revenue of $20.4 billion declined 6% year-over-year, or 8% adjusting divested businesses and currency fluctuations.

5 Dividend Stocks Likely to Up Their Yield Soon

 

These dividend stocks to buy are expected to raise their dividend in 2021, offering income and diversity

  


Dividend stocks are a special category of financial assets, providing a lot of benefits for investing that make them attractive for the majority of investors. Searching for dividend stocks to buy, investors will see they offer income and can provide stock price appreciation.

 

In general, dividend stocks are safer and less volatile compared to tech stocks or growth stocks.

 

The following five dividend stocks to buy are dividend aristocrats, have good fundamentals and are considered to be undervalued.

 

In addition, these dividend stocks offer sustainable income, diversification and are defensive stocks for a turbulent stock market in the future, which is a realistic scenario.

 

The dividend aristocrats definition makes these stocks interesting as a dividend aristocrat is a stock with a long history of raising its dividend, more than 10 years. The best part is the expectation of increasing the dividend in the future.

 

I particularly like dividend stocks for one key reason. They are suitable for passive investing, receiving the annual or quarterly dividend on time. But they can also be monitored for active trading. This means waiting for any stock price correction to buy low, and increase the total return, from a potential stock price appreciation and the

 

 

Here are five dividend stocks to buy that are attractive with high odds of increased dividends in the future.

8 Dividend Aristocrat Stocks to Buy Now

 

Here are the best dividend stocks to buy in a risky environment

 


 

After the big shock in March, many investors are still looking for defensive stocks to buy now. Of course, in the most extreme example, you can elect to go all into cash. However, history has proven that to be the worst thing to do. Instead, this is a good time to consider dividend aristocrats.

 

First, market uncertainty incentivizes stable dividend stocks to buy now. How so? Passive-income generating companies typically perform better than high-flying growth names during bearish phases.

 

For one thing, investors can still collect their payouts even if their portfolio isn’t doing too well. Moreover, organizations that have a history of consistent payouts tend to be levered toward secular or otherwise steady industries.

 

And there’s no better paragon of stability than dividend aristocrats. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, dividend aristocrats have three main requirements: they must be equities traded in the S&P 500, have 25 years-plus of dividend increases and meet size/liquidity benchmarks.

 

However, a word of caution. Just because you put dividend aristocrats in your list of stocks to buy now doesn’t guarantee a smooth ride. If the markets turn volatile, you can expect virtually all names to incur red ink.

 




But the major selling point is magnitude. With dividend aristocrats, you’re limiting your potential losses due to the robustness of the target company. Better yet, the volatility provides a rare discount for these stalwarts of industry.

 

So with that in mind, here are eight stocks to buy now with a long track record of payouts:

Kimberly-Clark: Dividend Aristocrat With 5 Billion-Dollar Brands




The S&P 500 Index continues to recover off of its 52-week lows with an impressive rally over the past several weeks. For the year, the S&P 500 is (somewhat amazingly) down just 3%. But the investing climate is by no means clear. The U.S. officially entered a recession in February, and the coronavirus crisis is not yet over.

In times of economic uncertainty, high-quality dividend growth stocks become even more valuable. This is why we continue to favor the Dividend Aristocrats, a group of 65 stocks in the S&P 500 Index with 25+ consecutive years of dividend increases.

Kimberly-Clark (KMB) is a Dividend Aristocrat that has increased its dividend each year, for more than 40 years in a row. The company’s strong brand portfolio has had a very large impact on the company’s ability to grow its profits (and dividends) for so many years.



This article will delve more deeply into Kimberly-Clark’s 5 billion-dollar brands, as well as the company’s future growth outlook and whether the stock is a buy today.

Dividend Aristocrats In Focus: United Technologies


It is not every day that a company is added to the Dividend Aristocrats. To become a member of this group, a company must increase its dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. The Dividend Aristocrats are such an exclusive group, that there were only 53 such companies with this title as of the end of 2018.

Four companies were added to the Dividend Aristocrats list in 2019, including industrial giant United Technologies (UTX).

United Technologies gave investors a 5% dividend increase last October. The stock currently yields just under 2.6%, but well above the 2% yield of the S&P 500. This article will examine if its dividend history and business performance is enough to warrant purchasing shares of the company.

Business Overview

United Technologies was founded in 1934. Today, the company has more than 200,000 employees around the world, and the stock has a market capitalization of nearly $100 billion.
United Technologies is a commercial aerospace and defense company. For the time being, United Technologies is composed of four business divisions: Pratt & Whitney, which manufactures and services engines for commercial and military customers; Otis, the world’s largest producer and servicer of elevators and escalators; UTC Climate, which produces HVAC equipment; and UTC Aerospace, which creates aerospace and industrial products.




This is a period of great change for United Technologies. After spinning offing certain businesses, United Technologies will be composed of two business divisions: Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace Systems, which creates aerospace and industrial products.

7 Dividend Aristocrat to Buy for 2019


It’s not a perfect list but it should get the job down in a year that’s expected to see lots of volatility



We’re quickly approaching the end of 2018. That’s got most investors reminiscing about the year that was in the markets while also pondering which stocks to buy in the year ahead.

I know I sure am.

This year volatility returned to the markets making the average investor’s job picking winners that much more difficult.

Right now, it’s hard to say if 2018 will go down as a winning year for the markets or not. Case in point, S&P 500 stocks were up 5.1% year to date through November 30, while this would have been the lowest annual return since 2015, and the second worst over the past seven years, it still would’ve been positive. Just two sessions later, the S&P 500 is essentially flat on the year — up .16%.

One area that’s always going to attract investor interest are dividend stocks. That’s especially true when returns are meager like they were in 2018 and investors fear they will be again in 2019.

Dividend Aristocrats, those stocks increasing their annual payment for 25 consecutive years, are the cream of the crop for dividend investors and some of the best stocks to buy for 2019.




Currently, there are 53 Dividend Aristocrats in the S&P 500. Here are seven stocks to buy in 2019, all of them yielding at least 3% or more.

The 7 Highest-Rated Dividend Aristocrats


The Dividend Aristocrats are an elite group of 53 stocks that have at least one thing in common: They have raised their annual payout in at least each of the past 25 years, if not longer.


But just because a company consistently raises its dividend doesn’t necessarily make it a compelling investing proposition.

Market experts advise a further layer of research before diving into these “elite” dividend stocks. You should always check that the company holds up to scrutiny – this means an encouraging business outlook and strong fundamentals. That way you’re “covered” twice: You have an attractive income proposition that should only get better over time, and chances are if you ever want to sell, you can do so at a profit.

We have used TipRanks’ market data to pinpoint the highest-rated Dividend Aristocrats right now. TipRanks scans the latest stock ratings from over 4,800 Wall Street analysts to be able to compile a list of stocks with the most Street support from analysts and top analysts.


The following are seven of the best dividend growth stocks on the market right now, in the eyes of the “pros.” This includes the average analyst price target, to give you an idea of how much upside potential Wall Street sees in these companies.

7 Dividend Aristocrats That Could Outpace the Market


Dividend-paying stocks like these tend to beat the broader market over the long haul



Seasoned dividend investors know that there are big differences between stocks that pay dividends and companies that legitimately have “dividend stocks.” Companies in the latter category have, in many cases, displayed lengthy commitments to not only paying dividends but growing payouts as well.

Many investors label companies with long dividend track records as “dividend aristocrats.” That is not just a catchy term. There are indices devoted to dividend aristocrats, including the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index. The Dividend Aristocrats Index, which serves as the benchmark for a well-known exchange-traded fund (ETF), holds companies with dividend increase streaks of at least 25 years.


The index gauges the “performance of S&P 500 companies that have increased dividends every year for the last 25 consecutive years. The Index treats each constituent as a distinct investment opportunity without regard to its size by equally weighting each company,” according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

While many dividend aristocrat stocks are trailing the broader market this year, historical data suggest dividend growers usually outpace broader benchmarks over the long haul. Here are some dividend aristocrats to consider buying now.

8 Dividend Aristocrats That Also Offer Stock Price Growth


These stocks offer more benefits than just a consistently growing dividend



Many investors are drawn to the consistency of dividend aristocrats. These stocks, called “aristocrats” because they have increased their dividend every year for at least 25 years, have earned the confidence of income-oriented investors, many of whom trade the prospect of growth for the steady payout. Moreover, the increases perpetuate themselves, as no corporate management team wants to end a decades-long streak of dividend growth.




However, many dividend investors also want to see stock price growth. Fortunately, a few of these companies have seen stock price increases despite the pressure to continuously deliver increased payouts.

These eight stocks offer the best of both worlds.

9 Highest-Yielding Dividend Aristocrats to Buy Today


These companies have largely withstood the test of time and also have strong 'Dividend Safety Scores'



Dividend aristocrats have a cult-like following among income investors, and for good reason. To be a dividend aristocrat, a company must be a member of the S&P 500 Index and have paid higher dividends for 25 consecutive years.

Businesses that have rewarded shareholders with rising dividends over the course of several decades tend to generate dependable cash flow, operate in large and growing markets, and be managed very conservatively.

As a result, dividend aristocrats have outperformed the S&P 500 by about 3% annually over the past decade, while also recording less volatility. Even during the worst of times, when the S&P lost 37% in 2008, the dividend aristocrats only lost 22%.

Investors can view data on the complete list of dividend aristocrats here.

In this article, we identified nine of the highest-yielding dividend aristocrats that investors may want to consider for income.

These companies have largely withstood the test of time and also have strong Dividend Safety Scores, a metric created by Simply Safe Dividends to assess how secure a company’s current payout is.




Since inception, Dividend Safety Scores have flagged over 98% of dividend cuts before they occurred, providing predictive value. Investors can learn more about Dividend Safety Scores here. Let’s review nine of the highest-yielding dividend aristocrats that have passed the test.

3 Reasons to Get Excited About Procter & Gamble Co


1 Top Dividend Stock for 2018



Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG) has just about all of the qualities we look for in a business: simple, timeless products; entrenched market position; and a long history of growing dividends.

But while owning such wonderful asset represents a great wealth building formula, “Mr. Market” doesn’t operate on a set schedule. Since we recommended the stock to Automated Income readers in 2015, Procter & Gamble share price has barely budged. A number of positive corporate developments, however, keep us bullish on the consumer products giant.




Procter & Gamble’s turnaround plan has started to pay dividends, to begin with. Management has culled around 100 brands from its product mix over the last few years, leaving the company with 65 labels. This might sound counterintuitive as first; after all, doesn’t it make for sense to grow revenues by adding up categories to the product line?

Johnson & Johnson: Is Now the Best Time to Consider JNJ Stock?


Johnson & Johnson Is Still a Top Dividend Stock


Over the years, blue-chip stocks have delivered a tremendous amount of value to income investors. But because many large-cap companies have also become household names, their share prices have gotten expensive. Therefore, when something as solid as Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) stock is having a pullback, it deserves the attention of income investors.

Johnson & Johnson is a healthcare giant. Starting out making ready-to-use surgical dressings in the 1880s, Johnson & Johnson has become a multinational medical, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods manufacturer. It’s one of the largest companies in the world, commanding more than $340.0 billion of market cap.




Mega-cap companies with established market positions are not known for making big moves in their share prices. But in the recent correction of the U.S. stock market, even large-cap stocks took a huge hit. In particular, shares of Johnson & Johnson have plunged by more than 13% since their January high, an unusually large drop for the healthcare behemoth.

Still, for investors who are looking to add a blue-chip company to their income portfolios, JNJ stock’s latest pullback could represent an opportunity.

Let me explain…
