Our Dividend Growth Stocks Model Portfolio includes stocks that get an Attractive-or-better rating and companies that not only produce ample free cash flow (FCF) to support their dividend payments, but they also consistently increase their dividend payments over time.
This combination, Attractive-or-better stock rating and strong sustainable dividend, provides a unique list of quality dividend stocks we believe are poised to outperform.
We know that Very Attractive-rated stocks outperform. The Very Attractive Stocks Index, managed by Bloomberg, tracks the stocks that get our Very Attractive rating and has outperformed the S&P 500 by 30% over the past five years through February 27, 2026.
