With interest rates likely to remain below historical averages for years, dividend stocks remain an attractive alternative for income-oriented investments. Kiplinger lists eight strong dividend stocks that you might not have heard of before. All of them have raised their dividend for at least each of the last 20 years. "A lot of them probably get overlooked because they're just sort of boring," says Sam Stovall, chief equity strategist for S&P Capital IQ's stock research group, tells Kiplinger:
Aqua America (WTR), a holding company for water and wastewater utilities. Becton, Dickinson (BDX), a medical supplies manufacturer. Dividend yield: 1.9 percent. Dover (DOV), an industrial components maker. Genuine Parts (GPC), a car parts distributor. Helmerich & Payne (HP), an energy drilling contractor. T. Rowe Price (TROW), a money manager. UGI (UGI), an energy conglomerate. V.F. Corporation (VFC), an apparel manufacturer.
