SUMMARY
Points Earned:
12 out of 16 – half points are rounded down to be conservative
The stock is rated Medium with 12.5 points earned through my analysis of the stock. Dividend growth has been strong in the past five years, however with a drop in 2005 and 2006 it looks a bit deceiving. However, these are the trends dividend investors like to see. If they can keep this dividend growth up, then perhaps we will see 10 years of consistent dividend growth and therefore a stock I would be more interested in. I am going to keep an eye on it – not to add to my watch list just yet but for perhaps in the future.
