Dividend-paying stocks can satisfy investors’ need for current income and capital growth. Over the long term, dividend growth strategies have proven to outperform their no-growth or high-yield counterparts. Solely looking for high yield as a means of selecting stocks is not enough; investors must also analyze the sustainability of the dividend payment and the growth of the firm. Derek Hageman discusses why dividends are important and what types of companies pay dividends. He also explains how one of the most recent stock additions to the Dividend Investing portfolio was selected by looking at its growth trends, financial strength and valuation.
