3 Upcoming Dividend Increases
Despite market volatility, I focus on companies with consistent dividend growth, indicating strong financial health and stability, to provide income and total returns. My investment strategy involves buying, holding, and adding to positions in companies that increase dividends and outperform benchmarks like SCHD and Cohen & Steers REIT. I use data from the U.S. Dividend Champions spreadsheet and NASDAQ to identify companies with at least 5 years of dividend growth history.

5 Dividend Growth Stocks I'm Buying As Defensive Sectors Become Sexy Again
The market has shifted from tech to defensive stocks, with real estate and consumer staples outperforming due to tariffs and trade wars.
