Dividend-growth investing has been one of the most underrated strategies in recent years, however the tide is shifting. Specifically, with interest rates rising, and style leadership now shifting from growth to value, dividend-growth stocks are increasingly attractive and many of them are still significantly undervalued by the market. In this report, we share data on over 100 top dividend-growth stocks (those that have raised their dividend for at least 10 consecutive years), and then dive into four specific stocks that are particularly attractive, undervalued and worth considering as long-term staples in a prudently-diversified income-focused portfolio.
