In this article, we’ll take a look at three healthcare stocks representing companies that not only are members of the Dividend Aristocrats list, meaning that they all have at least 25 consecutive years of dividend increases but also are leveraged to the long-term trend of a rising US population. Investors looking for long-term dividend stocks would do well to examine mega-trends that are on the horizon. An aging US population certainly fits the bill, and we see Cardinal, Medtronic, and Becton, Dickinson as three companies that stand to benefit strongly from this.
All three healthcare stocks offer very long dividend increase streaks, low payout ratios, and strong track records of big annual increases in the payout. Combined, these factors make these companies quite attractive for buy-and-hold dividend investors: Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH), Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and Becton, Dickinson & Co. (NYSE:BDX).
