Investing in dividend stocks is a proven way to grow wealth. Over the last 50 years, dividend stocks have delivered more than double the average annual total return compared to non-dividend payers, according to data from Ned Davis Research and Hartford Funds. The highest total returns have come from companies that steadily increase their dividend payments.
Brookfield Renewable (NYSE: BEPC) (NYSE: BEP) , Realty Income (NYSE: O) , and Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) have terrific track records of increasing their dividends. That's one reason why I plan to buy a lot more shares in the coming year.
