Top Quality Dividend Growth Stocks to Consider

Introduction

Hello all, I hope your dividend investing journey is treating you well. As some may know, I maintain a very detailed spreadsheet for a watchlist of dividend growth stocks. I use this to determine which stocks are the highest quality and ones that are trading at a reasonable price. I wanted to share with you the top quality dividend growth stocks that met every metric I track for the week ending June 13th.

Quality Metrics

So as 2025 progresses one of my main focus area is finding the top quality dividend growth stocks to add to my portfolio. If you have watched some of my videos, I am building a quality-focused dividend portfolio for a long-term, buy and hold, dollar cost average approach.

The quality metrics I screen for are:

• EPS GROWTH Next 3 Years
• EPS Growth Next Year
• ROE
• ROIC
• TTM Net Profit Margin
• 5 Year Net Profit Margin
• TTM Gross Margin
• 5 Year Gross Margin
• TTM FCF Margin
• 5 Year FCF Margin
• 5 Year CAPEX to Revenue
• TTM CAPEX to Revenue
• TTM Revenue Growth
• 5 Year Revenue Growth
• TTM EPS Growth
• Last 5 Year EPS Growth
• Debt to Equity

Top Quality Dividend Growth Stocks This Week

Ok, so after reviewing all 390 stocks I track, I found 5 that were perfect. This means that that stock met every metric I look for each of the metrics listed above.

Here are the 5 top quality stocks for this week:

• AMP – Ameriprise Financial
• ADP – Automatic Data Processing
• QCOM – Qualcomm
• RMD – ResMed, Inc
• V – Visa

In addition to hitting all the quality metrics, all 5 had a payout ratio under 60%, RMD was slightly undervalued when looking at historical yield, and ADP, AMP, and V met the Chowder rule (current dividend + 5 year dividend growth = 10+).

Summary

These 5 stocks are the cream of the crop when it comes to dividend growth stocks. They may not all be a good value, and the future is unknown, but based on the metrics here, they appear to be good candidates to add to your dividend growth watchlist. Remember, this is not financial advice, do your own research and determine if they are a good fit for you.

So, do you own any of these five stocks? And if not, what ones pique your interest now? Let me know in the comments. Thanks for reading!
