Every month, we screen for dividend growth stocks, looking for potential opportunities to add names to our watchlist or portfolios that could provide growing cash flow over time. We don't want just any dividend stocks, though; we screen for safety, growth, and consistency, narrowing the field down to what should be relatively higher quality dividends. We then provide some quick dives into five of the names to see if they are worth exploring even further, based on those with the highest yields.

Avista Corporation offers a stable, regulated utility profile with a 5.01% dividend yield and consistent net income growth exceeding inflation over five years. AVA's customer base is limited by its rural service territory, resulting in a smaller scale versus urban-focused peers, but its financial stability remains attractive. The company's five-year, $3.41 billion capital plan targets a 5% annual rate base growth, with potential upside to 12% if additional investments materialize.
