I've recently focused my thoughts on dividend growth stocks with a longer history of consecutive dividend hikes.
Today I like to show you those stocks with 5-10 years of dividend growth that are currently recommended to buy. In addition, the stocks should have an estimated earnings growth for the next five years of more than 5 percent as well as a low forward P/E.
20 stocks met my criteria. Attached is a full list of the results. In addition, I've highlighted my five favorites below. Which stocks do you like from the selection?
Here are my 5 favorites...
