(New York)

We are in an era of rising rates. That means that income-based stocks generally suffer as their yields look less and less and attractive. So how does one maintain an allocation to high-yielding stocks while preserving capital—buy stocks with good dividend growth. With that in mind, here is a list of seven good dividend growers. The list favors “established dividend paying stocks with strong fundamentals and stocks potentially trading at or below fair value. Dividend safety is another important factor”. The stocks are Home Depot, Boeing, Union Pacific, Amgen, J.M. Smucker, Honeywell International, and Pepsico.

FINSUM: This is a nice mix of sectors and well-known names that seem to have some real value in them. Definitely worth a deeper dive.
