Our Take On 5 Popular Dividend Growth Stocks

We spend a lot of time talking about dividend growth investing because many value our independent opinion on these high-yielding entities. Some of the most valuable articles we've posted that have helped Seeking Alpha readers better understand risks include, among others: We Don't Think Seadrill's Dividend Is Sustainable, in April 2012, and "The Mortgage REIT Business Doesn't Work..." in June 2013. We highlight these calls to provide perspective of the efficacy of our analysis and opinion, and why groupthink could be painful at times.

That said, let's update our opinion on five popular dividend growth stocks - a few we like, one in particular we don't, but all are popular and worth paying close attention to: Annaly (NYSE:NLY), Energy Transfer Partners (NYSE:ETP), Emerson Electric (NYSE:EMR), HCP (NYSE:HCP), and PPL Corp (NYSE:PPL).
