Hi, My name is Aaron and I‘m with Dividend Stocks Research, and today

were reviewing our recently published article…

Dividend Stocks That Keep Raising Dividends

Page 5: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

What’s the big deal?

Why should you plunge into a steamy love affair with stocks that

keep raising their dividends?

Page 6: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Simple. It’s one of the best ways to make money. And it doesn’t take a

math whiz to see how.

In fact, you don’t even need to fire up a calculator. All you have to do is

crack open a history book.

Page 7: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Take a look at the performance of the S&P 500-stock index over the

long haul. From 1926 through March, 2009, reinvested dividends were what drove almost half of the

9.5% return.

That’s before the big market runupof the past six years.

Page 8: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Let’s look at history with a different timeframe… 1972 through 2009.

And let’s just look at stocks that grew their dividends. These

dividend-growing stocks delivered an annual return of 8.7%.

Page 9: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

The overall market return was 6.2%. And the return on stocks that didn’t pay dividends? Not good… a measly

0.7%.

This is why it’s always good to remember that…

The Best Dividend Stocks Protect You

Page 11: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

The inevitable stretches when your stocks’ share prices aren’t

increasing in value… this is when dividend stocks throw you a

financial lifeline.

To make this lifeline as reliable as possible, you want stocks that keep

raising the dividend.

Page 12: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

But don’t mistake rising dividends for rising yields.

Remember… a stock’s price can go down, the amount of the dividend

payout stays exactly the same, and the yield goes up.

Page 13: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

That’s basic arithmetic. But it’s not exactly a great way to make money.

Stocks with the highest dividends don’t mean much. In fact, they could

get you in trouble.

Page 14: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

But growing dividends mean you’re actually compounding.

This is why you should keep in mind that the best paying dividend stocks

aren’t necessarily the stocks with the highest yields.

Page 15: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

The best dividend stocks have a consistent growth rate. No

fireworks, no drastic growth in the payout quarter to quarter, but slow

and steady increases.

Page 16: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

What It Really Means When Stocks Grow Dividends

Page 17: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

When a stock continues to increase its dividend, quarter after quarter, year after year, an unmistakable message is sent to the market.

The company is healthy.

Page 18: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Dividend increases are like low blood pressure readings. They’re

what you want to see.

Page 19: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

You can also look closer to measure the actual rate of dividend growth. If the growth rate picks up steam,

that’s even better, because it’s financial evidence that the company has some momentum. The wind is at

its back. The revenue and profit outlooks are good.

Page 20: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

But what about a warning signal we can look for? What would compare to a high blood pressure reading?

Here’s what. When all of a sudden, the dividend spikes. It soars by 50%, or even doubles from one

quarter to the next.

Page 21: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

When this happens, there’s usually a reason why. And you’ll usually find it

when you prowl through the financial reports. You might find that

revenue is trending down or expenses are trending up.

You might also find the reason why in the company’s quarterly earnings

calls or in the annual report.

Page 22: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

See if a key executive is leaving or if demand has dried up for an

important product.

Look for any change in the business that could be cause for concern. When you find one, chances are you’ve found the weakness the

company would like to hide.

Page 23: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

And a sudden dividend increase is something companies will do to try

and gloss over a blemish.

Page 24: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Where To Look For Growing Dividend Stocks

Page 25: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Want a good rule of thumb?

The best dividend paying stocks have been growing dividends for five

years. Find a stock, check out the dividend history, and track it quarter

by quarter.

Page 26: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Don’t have time to go slogging through all kinds of research? You

can always head for the old reliables, the S&P 500 Dividend

Aristocrats.

These stocks have raised their dividends every year for at least the

past 25 years.

Page 27: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

But don’t stop looking here, because there is a whole world out there. A

world of stocks that has raised dividends every year for at least the

past 25 years.

Page 28: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

The only thing that makes them different from the Aristocrats…

they’re not huge companies. They’re not members of the S&P 500, and

they’re known as Dividend Champions.

Page 29: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Many of these stocks have a certain nostalgic quality. They take us back

to simpler times when dividend investors had a fondness for two

kinds of stocks…

Utilities and insurance companies.

Page 30: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, those simple times never

went away.

Look closely and you’ll still find them. The best dividend paying stocks are performing endless

encores for investors.

Page 31: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Dividend Stocks That Don’t Stop Rocking

Page 32: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

The spotlight is still shining on utility company stocks.

Check out these 3 utility stocks that love to light up their dividends.

Page 33: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

And take a look at these 7 insurance companies that have been paying a

growing dividend for at least 25 years…

AFLAC Inc. $AFLChubb $CB

Cincinnati Financial $CINFErie Indemnity Co. $ERIE

Mercury General Corp $MCYOld Republic International $ORI

RLI Corp $RLI

Do some of these look familiar? Probably. Two are S&P 500 Dividend

Aristocrats. Which leaves five dividend stocks that most investors

don’t even know exist.

(One of them has been increasing dividends for 39 years.)

Page 35: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

You probably know about AFLAC.

Not because it’s an S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat, but because it

seems to advertise a lot on TV.

Page 36: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

AFLAC is a good example of a stock that takes its lumps, even though

it’s had a nice runup along with the rest of the market. The share price is

up and down. But it keeps raising the dividend.

Check out how the stock price has done over the past three years…

Page 37: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends
Page 38: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

See how AFLAC turned in a losing year in 2014?

Well, the dividend actually went up.

Page 39: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

And it’s been going up every year since 1983.

This is why dividend stocks that keep raising dividends are keepers. They’re great protection from the ups and downs of the market that

can knock your share price around.

The Rewards Of Growth Without The Risks Of Growth

Stocks

Page 41: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Stocks for widows and orphans. That’s the old line. That’s the term

that’s usually attached to the kind of stocks that pay growing dividends,

like insurance companies and utilities.

Page 42: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

The description’s a bit insulting isn’t it? None of us want to think we’re so

timid we settle for returns that would satisfy a widow or an orphan.

Page 43: Dividend stocks that keep raising dividends

Well…

You might know an investor or two who’s taken a flyer on a so-called growth stock that didn’t pan out.

And there are plenty of wealthy widows who have quietly been sitting on their dividend stocks.
