Rising Dividends Lists - May 2026
Over the past few years, I have been working to tighten up our SELL discipline so as to "cut bait" earlier when we begin to see signs of deteriorating fundamentals. As a result of this shift, the size of our rising dividend stock universe has shrunk from more than 100 companies to just 66 today (excluding regional banks and utilities). Of these 66, 20 meet the BUY criteria. I am also working to improve both quality of the rising dividend screening information and the frequency with which it is conveyed to you.
This update marks the first time I have included HOLDs and SELLs on the list. I have also included an extensive disclosure section which provides a refresher on the strategy. NOTE: Once a company hits the SELL list, I will delete it from our screening universe. However, I am maintaining a list of all previous sells beneath the list of current sells.
I am gradually reaching out to all FPH clients who follow this strategy to review the BUY-HOLD-SELL lists individually. Feel free to reach out to me sooner if you wish. Below is a link to the most recent list update.
