Dividend Stocks Most Likely to Outperform

Posted by D4L | Wednesday, September 22, 2010 | | 0 comments »

Had you invested equally among each of the 30 stocks that currently comprise the Dow Jones Industrial Average, from September 2000 to September 2010, your portfolio would have returned 3.15% annually. Had you invested equally among the 42 stocks that currently comprise the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats -- an index composed of large-cap S&P 500 companies that have increased dividends for 25 consecutive years -- you would have enjoyed a 8.1% annual return.

n the past we've attempted to select a small portfolio of Dow stocks intended to outperform the collective future performance of the 20 best-performing Dow components. Using the same criteria -- with two new additions -- we've narrowed our universe of Dividend Aristocrats to 10 stocks, each with a reasonable chance of outperforming the composite index: 1.) Each stock must have a liability-adjusted cash flow yield** greater than the yield of a 10-year U.S. Treasury note. 2.) Each stock must have a return on invested capital greater than 10% (using 10-year historical 3.) Each stock must show a positive total return (including dividends) over the past 10 years.
