Within this Special U.S. Dividend Stock Report, KeyStone’s analysts took a bottom-up approach, starting with the full universe of ~1,100 U.S. dividend stocks (across all sectors) and analyzing each company based on KeyStone’s profitability, growth, and value-based investment strategy.
The result of this research has been the creation of a monitor list of almost 50 companies that have passed most of our primary research tests and generally possess strong fundamentals. Within this select group, we have provided a focused, U.S. dividend growth model portfolio, consisting of 11 companies, diversified by size and industry, which we believe offer long-term value to income investors and generally combine well into an income-focused portfolio.
