Investors hear about dividend aristocrats all the time. It’s a fantastic thing if a company raises its dividend every year for 25 years running or longer. And so retirement investors flock to these sorts of stocks. Yet it’s easy to overlook the very reason why these are such attractive investments. If a company is paying dividends, it is generating enough cash flow to do so. If it is generating an increasing dividend every single year, the business is doing so well as far as cash flow, that the company is positioned very well for the long-term. Let’s take a look at three dividend aristocrats that don’t get a lot of attention.
Archer Daniels Midland Co (NYSE:ADM) is a 120-year-old dividend aristocrat that procures, processes and moves agricultural products. T. Rowe Price Group Inc (NASDAQ:TROW) is a dividend aristocrat that has been raising dividends every year for more than 30 years. Have you ever heard of Air Products & Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE:APD)? It wouldn’t surprise me if you have not. It’s exactly the kind of boring and unsexy dividend aristocrat that Peter Lynch would love and which has been raising dividends every year for more than 30 years.
