Good evening,

There are many reasons to own dividend stocks. And one of the most important is the consistency they can provide.

You see, stock price growth is every long-term investor’s goal. But the total return of a stock also includes any dividend payments that a company makes to shareholders. Since dividend payouts come from a company’s earnings (i.e., profits), companies that offer dividends are usually in a mature stage of growth.

In 2024, that “maturity” meant returns that were a little lighter than what growth investors received from one or more of the popular AI stocks such as NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ: NVDA).

But what these stocks may lack in growth, they make up for with regular dividend payments. These dividends, particularly when they grow year over year, have a compounding effect that increases your total return over time.

That kind of peace of mind can be reassuring to some investors during times of market volatility. And in a market where high-speed trading programs can turn gains to losses and vice versa in minutes, many investors are looking for stocks that can help them sleep well at night.

With the help of the MarketBeat dividend screener, we’ve found seven dividend stocks that have raised their dividend by an average of at least 10% over the last three years. The companies on this list have a proven track record of raising dividends and are on track to do so in the next two quarters.

That means you won’t have to wait long to start receiving larger dividend payouts and a larger total return on your investments.
