10 Blue-Chip Dividend Growth Stocks With 3% Yields And Safe Dividends | FAST Graphs

I see a new video from Chuck, I drop everything and watch it right away.

This type of analysis are quite educational, but you need to know more about the business, where the industry is going, competitions, etc to actually make any buy decisions. Because these graphs are showing past performance. The numbers may look great for a dieing industry/ stock and things are usually valued cheaply for a reason

Always instructive. The visual representation of valuation is super helpful.

Dividend aristocrats don't mean much to me anymore - I own two and both are down 50% presently, and both halted their 40 years of div. growth in '23-24. I could see JNJ joining that list if the current pending lawsuits turn out poorly. Some of these are very interesting, and some appear suspect to continue their flat to poor performances (ABM). Thanks Chuck - another A+ video.

Chuck, I have profited greatly from your recommendations, particularly your suggestion several years ago to buy AVGO at $300. That said, I have never liked CMCSA nearly as much as you do. The dividend is only about 20% higher than in 2018, and the share price is the same as it was in 2017. They don't hesitate to cut the dividend (2017 and 2019), and the share price swings wildly over relatively short time periods. I don't think CMCSA is a good stock to buy and hold, which is my investing preference. Thanks

At 13:04, Chuck mistakenly mentions GIS price as $140.41. I think the price was $71.22, 140.41 was the number of shares with $10,000 invested. But his point is well taken, because the current price $64.17 is lower than the price on 07/22/2016 due to very high valuation at that time.

Let's go.

Can we please check up on CVS and/or MPW? Thank you!

Latest dividend increase for General Mills was 1.7%. Even more mediocre than recent average of 2%. That is not raise. That is decrease every year in purchasing power. Thats why I removed GIS from my watchlist recently, despite low valuation. I would need two lifetimes to see doubling of my purchasing power of that dividend. It is better to pay 2 PE higher for SPY or any other faster growing stock or index and get higher returns with much lower risk.

Mr. Carnevale, MPW - Buy, hold, sell? Considering selling. Have held through the brutality of it all and at this point I'm considering just taking the losses and off setting other gains. Seriously worried this thing is going to $0.00. Any thoughts? (Obviously not advise, just looking for your opinion!) Thanks as always!

One of the first videos of this channel 5 years was about how undervalued WBA was at 51 dollars...12 dollars now...:-)

15 P/E is MoS now? Thought it was fair value. Meaning no MoS.

How about a video for the next WBA, WHR, UGI and LEG

Presently, I have to wonder why anyone would be investing in any of these stocks when they can receive 5% +/_ on their cash. I intend to continue reducing positions and leave that money in cash until we see more reasonable P/Es. I am not convinced that the Fed will be reducing rates anytime soon and may very well have to make decision to raise them in the near future. Either way, I intend to wait for the proverbial market correction and then buy my preferred dividend stocks at a discount. General Mills & JNJ are very consistent in their growth but of greater value once the S&P corrects itself. Stocks like Amgen are downright scary IMO. Though revenue estimates were met this past Q, EPS was down 104% with net income dropping to a loss of ($113M) from $2.84B the year prior. One has to go to diluted earnings to see they are projecting a 36% drop for the year yet the stock trades at a premium P/E 30.32 as of 6/28....well ABOVE the normal P/E of 20.78 .....go figure

MPW...I REST MY CASE.

unfortunatly there is an echo!?

While compounding is great, what most people don't get is that DRIP is REALLY BAD for any stock that has a low yield and high growth. The stock value outpaces the dividend, meaning your DRIP becomes less valuable per year. Year 1, your DRIP might be +5 shares, by year 20 it'll be +0.1 share. You can only really get these types of stocks in the first 5-10 years of investing, assuming a 20-30year investment plan. After this, the compounding effect is no longer going to benefit you in time for your retirement. Anything beyond 10years should be 4-10% stocks like BDCs, REITS, CEFs and some specific safe large cap companies that pay 5%+. Unless ofcourse your aim is to build a future for your family, in which case, by all means, you'll pass on incredible benfits regardless. Obviously if you're smart enough to start investing between the ages of 18-20 then you can get growth stocks for maybe 15 years before throwing all DRIP and deposits into higher yield stocks.

Most of these stocks have flat to declining cash flows in recent years. Does not this bother you? It means payout ratio is rising and managament keeps focusing on short term and short term share price gains, but puts company into worse and worse situation. They raise dividends on flat cash flows, than all it takes is one bad year and company is in dumpster. We can look at VFC, where dumb management raised dividend by 80% during period of no growth, and company since than eliminated the dividend and got eaten alive by debt. Medtronic has flat free cash flow for 9 years now and raised payout ratio from 30 to 70%. That does not scream safety, in my opinion and makes past dividend raises irrelevant to be any indication of future raises. General Mills is so slow growing company, that it makes no sence to even consider it. Analyst forecast is for 2% EPS growth, so dividend will grow, but slower than inflation. Keep that money in US short term treasuries and wait for SPY to be below PE 18. GIS has zero appeal compared to SPY.
