Recently, I began tracking the number of years a company has grown its dividend, and providing that information in my individual company valuations. I have covered 451 companies since that tracking began. Eventually I will have this data on each of the more than 550 companies covered by ModernGraham, so this list should continue to grow for the next few months.
Out of the 451 companies on which I have dividend growth data, only 51 have grown dividends annually for at least the last 20 years. Here is an overview of those companies:
Cincinnati Financial Corporation is suitable for the Enterprising Investor but not the more conservative Defensive Investor. The Defensive Investor is concerned with the insufficient earnings growth over the last ten years, and the high PEmg ratio.
We evaluated 25 different companies this week to determine whether they are suitable for Defensive Investors, those unwilling to do substantial research, or Enterprising Investors, those who are willing to do such research. We also put each company through the ModernGraham valuation model based on Benjamin Graham’s value investing formulas in order to determine an intrinsic value for each. Out of those 25 companies, only 12 were found to be undervalued or fairly valued and suitable for either Defensive or Enterprising Investors.
While ModernGraham supports the bottom-up approach to investing, many investors do utilize the top-down method, whereby an industry is selected before the company itself. With that in mind, this article will take a brief look at the best companies of the Insurance industry, selecting the most promising investment opportunities within the industry, and giving a broad look into the industry as a whole.
