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.
Costco (COST -0.02%) and Home Depot (HD 0.90%) are two of the biggest retailers in the world. One focuses on general merchandise, while the other caters to DIY and professional customers with home improvement products.
