StockUp: Investing for Dividend Growth

Dividends can significantly enhance a portfolio's total return while providing a regular and growing income stream. Stocks that have consistently increased their dividends tend to perform well over time. In this session, we will begin with a review of dividend basics and key metrics, such as the payout ratio. Next, we will analyze a company’s dividends using the Stock Selection Guide and explore strategies for dividend growth investing. Finally, we will identify sources where you can find ideas for dividend stocks.
