There are very few sectors and industries that blend both growth and stability into one. It’s a rare combination and the healthcare sector fits the bill to a “T.” Our latest Best Dividend Growth Stocks Model Portfolio pick has been using this combination to its advantage for over five decades!
Our pick is a medical device giant, with a huge portfolio of devices under its umbrella. These range from simple diagnostic tests to more advanced A.I.-driven smart devices as well as a portfolio of generic/branded drugs. The combination has given our pick a perfect blend of revenues – both steady and fast-moving.
The end result for investors has been a long runway of dividend growth and a history of buybacks.
With plenty of innovation still on its plate and a huge pipeline of devices ready to be unleashed, our pick makes an ideal choice for growth-oriented dividend investors. Watch for when the stock goes ex-dividend on Tuesday, August 2 (estimated date).
To make room for this healthcare stock, we’ve reduced exposure to another healthcare firm on our list this week.
