Recently, I wrote that dividend growth is very important for long-term orientated investors who don't like to trade stocks and follow a buy and hold strategy. I've created a screen to that article, showing the fastest dividend growers from the S&P 500.
Today I like to show you a screen with high quality stocks which have raised dividends over more than 25 years at rates over 10% yearly for a decade. In total, 24 stocks appear on my radar.
Which stocks do you like?
These are my 5 top results...
