5 Dividend Stocks That Offer Growth Amid Volatility
Wall Street has been witnessing bouts of volatility and uncertainty triggered off by a war in Ukraine and 4-decade high inflation. Amid such a scenario, investors seek consistent and safe income, thereby driving the appeal for dividend investing. Though the strategy does not offer dramatic price appreciation, it is a major source of consistent income for investors in any market. In particular, focusing on the growth level in this strategy leads to higher returns.
Stocks with a strong history of year-over-year dividend growth form a healthy portfolio, with a greater scope of capital appreciation, as opposed to simple dividend-paying stocks or those that have high yields. We have selected five dividend growth stocks — Jones Lang LaSalle Inc., Archer-Daniels-Midland Co., Broadcom Inc., J.B. Hunt Transport Services and EOG Resources — that could be compelling picks amid market volatility.
Why Dividend Growth?
Stocks that have a strong history of dividend growth belong to mature companies, which are less susceptible to large swings in the market, and act as a hedge against economic or political uncertainty as well as stock market volatility. At the same time, these offer downside protection with their consistent increase in payouts.
Additionally, these stocks have superior fundamentals that make dividend growth a quality and promising investment for the long term. These include a sustainable business model, a long track of profitability, rising cash flows, good liquidity, a strong balance sheet and some value characteristics. Further, a history of strong dividend growth indicates that dividend increase is likely in the future.
Although these stocks do not necessarily have the highest yields, they have outperformed for a longer period than the broader stock market or any other dividend-paying stock.
Here are the five of the 16 stocks that fit the bill:
Chicago-based Jones Lang is a leading full-service real estate firm that provides corporate, financial and investment management services to corporations and other real estate owners, users and investors worldwide. Jones Lang has seen positive earnings estimate revision by $1.06 over the past month for this year with an expected modest earnings growth rate of 0.05%.
Illinois-based Archer-Daniels is one of the leading producers of food and beverage ingredients as well as goods made from various agricultural products. ADM saw a positive earnings estimate revision of a penny for this year and delivered a four-quarter average earnings surprise of 21.89%.
Archer-Daniels has a Zacks Rank #1 and a Growth Score of A.
California-based Broadcom is a premier designer, developer and global supplier of a broad range of semiconductor devices with a focus on complex digital and mixed-signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor-based devices and analog III-V based products. The stock saw a solid earnings estimate revision of $2.34 for the fiscal year (ending October 2022) over the past 30 days and has an expected earnings growth rate of 26.7%.
Broadcom has a Zacks Rank #2 and a Growth Score of A.
Arkansas-based J.B. Hunt Transport is a provider of a broad range of transportation services to a diverse group of customers through the United States, Canada and Mexico. JBHT saw a positive earnings estimate revision of a penny over the past 30 days for this year and has an expected earnings growth rate of 20.6%.
J.B. Hunt has a Zacks Rank #2 and a Growth Score of B.
