Low Risk Stocks for Dividend Growth Investors

We began our search for stocks with dividends that have advanced at a compounded annual rate of at least 7% over the last five years. Similarly, we narrowed the list to equities with projected annual dividend growth rates of at least 7% over the next three to five years. We also set a minimum estimated yield for the year ahead of 3.0%, which is 100 basis points (100 basis points equals one percentage point) higher than the current median for all dividend-paying stocks under our review.

The set of stocks that made the final cut are not only judged to be safer than most, but also possess proven and prospective dividend growth rates that have and are likely to advance at a rate exceeding the average rate of inflation under the time periods chosen for this review. The names of the companies making the list can be seen below: CA, Inc. (CA), Chevron Corp. (CVX), Eaton Corp. (ETN), Harris Corp. (HRS), Intel Corp. (INTC)...
