I just read a Seeking Alpha Article about nine dividend companies for yield and growth. (click to read article)
I applied my four Dividend Machine Criteria and here is what I found.
On a pass/fail basis we have seven that fail the Dividend Machine criteria and two that are close.
Take a look at the data.
If I were going to buy something that is not quite a Dividend Machine due to a yield that is too low, I would go with the stock that the greatest dividend increase over the past five years.
And those companies are: MCD, CVX, KMB, PG, and KO
