5 ‘Strong Buy’ Dividend Growth Stocks for 2018

A stock that pays a high dividend yield is ultimately disappointing in the long-run if the dividend shrinks rather than grows. And a bullish company with an impressive dividend growth rate is a great sign that the dividend will continue to go one way: up. Bearing that in mind, let’s dive in and take a closer look at these top five stock picks...

The creator of the Unicorn Frappuccino, Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) pays its investors a relatively high dividend yield of 2.11%. And now Lam Research Corporation (NASDAQ:LRCX) has just announced two fresh capital return actions. UnitedHealth Group Incorporated (NYSE:UNH) has increased its dividend for seven of the last ten years. General Dynamics Corp (NYSE:GD) offers a yield of 1.68% and a payout of $0.84. Last but by no means least, we have leading global payments company Visa Inc (NYSE:V).
