10 Quality Dividend Stocks
The best stocks for income
Hi fellow investor👋
I’m enjoying the Monday screen articles quite a lot and I hope you are as well? If you have any feedback (positive or negative) please do leave a comment or message me to tell me.
I mainly like to invest in high growth companies with the potential to beat the market over a 3-5 year time frame. However, I also invest some of my funds into dividend stocks for income purposes.
Before we get into the stocks, make sure you haven’t missed the below articles:
Today we are focusing purely on high quality dividend stocks.
I used StocksGuide to find these stocks. They have one of the best in-built screeners on the market in my opinion. For example, for this screener I used their Dividend Top Scorer screen and only chose companies with a score of more than 13 out of 15.
Here’s 10👇
