Dividend aristocrats are stocks that have increased in their dividends at least once a year for the last 25 years. And given that the last 25 years spans both the dot-com bust and the financial crisis, being a member of this elite group of dividend stocks is certainly saying something. I recently dug into the list of dividend aristocrats and looked for the best potential among this group of income investments, zeroing in on seven top stocks that I think offer investors both stability in their share price, as well as a robust dividend.
If you’re looking for the best dividend aristocrats to buy now — for both current yield, share potential and future dividend growth — I’ve identified seven worth a look. Here they are: Middlesex Water Company (MSEX) operates water and wastewater systems in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Questar (STR) is a natural gas play that focuses on the energy business across the American West. Longtime readers of my columns will know that I have been talking up dividend aristocrat HCP Inc. (HCP) for quite some time now. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is everything an income investor should love. You might not have heard of Old Republic International Corporation (ORI), given that it’s just a mid-cap insurance company.
