6 years ago, I created a list of 5 stocks that I would always buy. I loved the companies on the list so much, that I purchased shares in all 5 and own them in my portfolio. Each stock was pre-vetted as a dividend growth stock that met my personal investing obective.
The reality is, however, that things change over time. The market conditions today are certainly different than they were 6 years ago. Consumer habits are evolving faster than ever. Therefore, 6 years later, I wanted to sit down and review the list. In this article, I will re-visit the 5 stocks and review their performance and dividend growth over the last 6 years. Then, I will determine which of the stocks I would still “Always Buy” and which stocks I may look to replace on this list.
