Top 50 High Quality Dividend Stocks - September 2024 Results
I track 50 high-quality dividend stocks, updating their valuations daily to identify Strong Buy, Buy, Hold, and Trim opportunities based on historical free cash flow trends. September's performance: Strong Buy portfolio gained 4.75%, Buy or better 3.18%, and Expected ROR 2.01%, all outperforming the investable universe and SCHD. My hypothesis is these model portfolios will deliver alpha over SPY and SCHD long term, focusing on attractively valued stocks and expected returns.

FactSet Research Systems: Growth Runway Is Clear Ahead
I reiterate my buy rating for FactSet Research Systems due to the positive growth outlook driven by recent and expected Fed rate cuts. FDS reported strong revenue growth and profit margins, with EPS beating consensus estimates, despite a challenging selling environment and one-off expenses. Management's conservative FY25 guidance is likely to be exceeded due to GenAI solutions, easy growth comps, and improving macroeconomic conditions.
