There are few guarantees in life. But investing in quality dividend stocks is close to a surefire way to build wealth over the long run. Since quality is a subjective term, you're probably thinking of the following question: What is quality?
To me, quality is a company whose revenue and earnings consistently move higher over time. This higher revenue and earnings base is what leads stocks to grow in value as the years progress.
The dollar store retail chain known as Dollar General (NYSE: DG) is a quality dividend growth stock, in my opinion. For instance, a $10,000 investment into the retailer made 10 years ago would now be worth $61,000 with dividends reinvested. For context, this is nearly double the $33,000 that the S&P 500 index would have parlayed the same investment amount into after 10 years.
