With the S&P 500 recently off a 9-day losing streak — its longest since 1980 — this is a great time to go shopping. Especially for dividend growers. These special types of stocks are rarely cheap, because who doesn’t want yield AND upside? But general market jitters about the Fed, the election and the economy have presented us with some early holiday bargains.
Dividend growth investing is the gift that keeps on giving. Not only do you get your payouts today, but your stocks will also enjoy price appreciation that is roughly in line with their dividend boosts. If it feels like your favorite blue chip stocks never pay more than 2% or 3%, it’s likely because their stock prices are bid up to keep their yields more or less constant for “new money” that comes in. Let’s look at three popular dividend stocks – 3M Co (MMM), Procter & Gamble Co (PG) and United Parcel Service, Inc. (UPS) – to see this in action.
