When a company makes ongoing regular cash distributions, it sends a positive message about the fundamentals, performance and prospects of the business, and indicates that management is more concerned about returning value to shareholders than using excess cash to bolster executive pay. Stocks that consistently pay dividends tend to be less volatile than those that don't. Investors believe that dividends are a far more predictable thing, based on a company's track record than share price. Over the last 82 years, dividends have made up over 40% of the total returns investors have received from the stock market.
In this article, I pick two companies and two MLPs for consistently growing returns. These companies all have solid financial statements to back returns for investors. Let's dig each company's financial position to observe its ability to sustain growing returns for investors: Intel Corporation (INTC), El Paso Pipeline Partners, L.P. (EPB), Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) and Legacy Reserves, LP (LGCY).
