8 Dividend Stocks With a Decade of Dividend Increases

When it comes to dividend stocks, investors can fall into the trap of focusing on dividend yield over all else. That can be a dangerous strategy, as high-yield stocks almost always are higher-risk. But the issue isn’t just the risk in high-yield stocks. It’s the opportunity cost of ignoring lower current yields from companies with better prospects to grow their profits – and their dividends.

These eight dividend stocks, however, have a solid history, and a strong outlook to match. They should be on the list of every dividend growth investor: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO), J.M. Smucker (NYSE:SJM), Portland General Electric (NYSE:POR), BOK Financial (NYSE:BOKF), International Flavors & Fragrances (NYSE:IFF), Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) and Realty Income (NYSE:O).
