Dividend stocks can be one of the best ways for individual investors to supplement income or even build wealth over the long term, and finding high quality companies with stocks that yield higher than average rates can accelerate that wealth building portfolio. The trick is finding quality stocks that can keep those payments going over time.
This article tries to discover a number of high quality stocks with big yields for income seeking investors. My focus was on long-term dividend growth and the limit time-line is 10 years. Each of the stocks must have increased dividends by more than 10 years without interruption.
In addition, the forward P/E must be under 15 while yields are over 4%. Exactly 6 stocks fulfilled these similar criteria.
These are the results...
