    11 Dividend Aristocrats With Excellent Upside Potential In The Next Year

    seekingalpha.com

    2025-08-16 07:00:00

    Dividend Growth Outperformance: For over 50 years, dividend growers have delivered market-beating returns with lower volatility. The BTI Example: British American Tobacco went from six years of stagnation to 63% gains in 2025, beating the Mag 7 and Bitcoin—underscoring the power of patience. I've found 11 dividend aristocrats with 70%+ quality scores and 50+% justified 12-month return potential, based on yield, growth, and valuation.

    Stepan Company (SCL) stands out with a 3.1% yield, strong dividend growth, low price to free cash flow, and a 56-year dividend increase streak. I focus on quality, dividend-paying companies with strong fundamentals, favoring income and total return for long-term financial security and lower volatility. The specialty chemicals industry, out of favor since 2022, is poised for recovery as macroeconomic headwinds ease and margins rebound.
