"This week week, I screened my dividend growth stocks database for stocks that are members of the S&P 500, have a yield of 4% or more and have increased their dividend for 10 or more consecutive years."

It incorrectly says 5% in the article above. I started with 5%, but nothing relevant was returned, then I lowered it to 4%. SA picked up the article from my site before I made the correction.

My apologies for any confusion.

The $117.37 is a sensitivity. The price "could" increase to $117.37 and the NPV MMA Differential would still be above my required $500 given the current dividend growth rate.

It should be: "increased its dividend payments for 12 consecutive years."

Sorry for the confusion.

Companies are judged on results. The reality is that income investors in WFC (I held WFC at the time) saw a decline in their earnings due to the WFC dividend cut, in return WFC was allowed to close its acquisition. Not all banks chose to take TARP funds they 'didn't want or need.'

Here is a link to Richard Kovacevich's discussion of the situation. It is an interesting video:

@David: To simplify the example I included the statement above "where earnings in both are withdrawn when paid:" to avoid dividend repurchases. If both dividends and interest were reinvested, you would introduce another variable - market volatility.

YOC is best used to demonstrate dividend growth over time vs. a fixed income option such as a CD or Bond. You are correct it should not be used to make forward looking decisions.

@Others: Historical share prices have been adjusted for stock splits.

It won't be the last time I was wrong. :)

BTW, your website is really good! I've added it as one of my sources.

@greg.stanford: You are correct the math does not work. I pulled the 22 years from David Fish's Dividend Champions spreadsheet. Another of my sources shows 16 years of increase, which I believe is correct in this instance. Thanks for pointing this out.

@heglimp: Thanks for the kind words.

The article discusses what a REIT is then says:

"Below are three REITs yielding over 7% that have recently increased their cash dividends to shareholders:"

It then list 3 REITS: Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT), Select Income REIT (http://bit.ly/nbBtW4) and Senior Housing Properties Trust (http://bit.ly/oGJRNo).

It then says:

"Below are several other companies that have recently increased their cash dividends to shareholders:"

Then lists the companies you described above.

Again, sorry for the confusion.

"The above quantitative stock analysis, including the Star rating, is mechanically calculated and is based on historical information. The analysis assumes the stock will perform in the future as it has in the past. This is generally never true."

I find it better to have a set baseline calculation and then question the data that goes into the baseline calculation. In this case, I don't think WAG will be in a position to grow its dividend in the future as fast as it has in the past.

The yield is not a current yield, but a current "year" yield which includes dividends paid at lower levels prior to the current increase.

As for a weekly YouTube analysis, I am pretty stretched as it is now. I don't want to cut into my analysis time. :)

I don't spend much time on the P&L but focus my attention on the cash flow statement and balance sheet (too many "junk" accounting standards have made the P&L earnings questionable).

Generally, when a stock is in the position of ITW, it doesn't become a buy by dropping down to my price, but instead by increasing its dividend and dividend growth rate and raising my price.

I cant speak for other dividend growth investors, but I have found most follow a similar methodology.
