Investors looking to grow long term wealth should devote at least some of their portfolio to companies that pay dividends. But how do you choose which ones to add to your portfolio? If you are looking for dividend paying stocks, the most reliable companies to add to your portfolio are those that don’t just pay dividends, but that raise them regularly.
Public companies and their boards typically start issuing regular dividend payments to common shareholders once their companies have reached a significant size and level of stability. Often, young, fast-growing companies prefer not to pay dividends, opting instead to re-invest their retained earnings into their business operations, compounding their growth and thus the book value of their shares over time. However, once a company does decide to start paying a specified amount of money to shareholders in the form of regular cash dividends, its stock usually trades with a little less price volatility in the market.
These companies have long track records of creating long-term value for shareholders.
