Why Should You Care About Dividend Growth Rate?
Many investors focus on the current yield when evaluating a stock, but neglect the growth rate of the dividend. The faster a dividend grows, the more income that will be generated each year. Even more importantly, the additional income impacts the ability to compound returns at an exponential rate.
