Sometimes growth stocks and income-producing stocks are arrayed against each other as some sort of "bubblegum vs. potato chips" argument. In reality, though, investors can usually find a pretty healthy menu of choices among companies that not only return a meaningful dividend to shareholders, but also have growth prospects strong enough to drive future capital appreciation. Although an investor should always hold a diversified portfolio to minimize company-specific risks, a selection of these stocks could offer a bit of the best of both worlds:
Abbott Labs (NYSE:ABT) is a frequent-flier in articles about quality companies, dividend-paying companies, quality dividend-paying companies, consistent dividend-payers, and so on. If there is an area where dividend-growth investors may be spoiled for choice, it would probably be in the consumer sector. McDonalds (NYSE:MCD) and Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) are great companies with excellent dividend track records and extant growth opportunities, but for this article I am tapping Pepsico (NYSE:PEP) and Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI) as dividend-growth names to consider.
