8 Momentum Gaining Dividend Champions

Dividend growth is an important issue for long-term wealth creation. A solid growing stock that might also share its growth success with shareholders could boost your cash income for the next years. 

It doesn’t make sense to observe stocks with a great performance in the past. A stock that doubled dividends in the past five years might run their future dividends flat. 

That’s not the optimal case for good long-term growth investment. Today I started a research of stocks that might accelerate their dividend growth in the future. 

My basis research included stocks with a 25 year consistent dividend growth history.

Here are 8 companies from the Champions List that I believe will see accelerating dividend growth over the next few years….
