Hi,

We will publish the new February 2026 edition of our flagship Sure Dividend Core Newsletter tomorrow morning!

The main idea behind this newsletter is to find:

  • Dividend growth stocks
  • That are of a high quality
  • Trading at fair or better prices
  • To buy and hold forever

The reason we do this is to help people build rising passive income for financial freedom and a secure retirement.

We believe that the best way to find high quality dividend growth stocks is to analyze as many dividend growth stocks as possible.

“The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game. And that’s always been my investing philosophy.”​
– Peter Lynch

That’s why we cover more than 900 income securities every quarter in the Sure Analysis Research Database.

Note: This includes almost every stock with 5+ years of consecutive dividend increases as measured in USD.

Sure Analysis data powers the Top 10 selections each month in the Sure Dividend Core Newsletter.

Our expansive coverage of dividend growth stocks allows us to compare them to each other over the same metrics, in order to find the best.

The Sure Dividend Core Newsletter Methodology​
Please see our Buying & Ranking Criteria PDF, which is in every edition of the Sure Dividend Core Newsletter, for our exact ranking methodology.

And please see the Sure Analysis glossary for more on how our Dividend Risk Scores (and other metrics) are calculated.

Here's how each of the core ideas behind the Sure Dividend Core Newsletter is implemented:

  • Dividend growth stocks
  • That are of a high quality
  • Trading at fair or better prices
  • To buy and hold forever

The ‘dividend growth stocks’ portion is covered by looking for stocks with dividend yields that are at least 1.5x the S&P 500’s dividend yield for above-market current income. And screening for stocks with a dividend yield plus a conservative growth estimate of 7.0% or higher, coupled with 5+ years of rising dividends, means that dividend growth is prioritized.

The ‘High quality’ portion is covered by screening for A & B Dividend Risk Scores, in conjunction with screening for stocks with at least 5 years of rising dividends. On top of this we qualitatively select from the most compelling stocks in our full screen, looking for quality.

The ‘fair or better prices’ aspect is covered by screening out all stocks trading above our estimate of fair value so we don’t invest in overvalued securities.

And the ‘buy and hold forever’ aspect is addressed largely by the same aspects as ‘high quality’ and ‘dividend growth stocks’, discussed earlier on this page. Further, our only sell rule is to sell when a stock breaks its dividend streak by either reducing its dividend or not increasing its annual dividend. This means we will hold dividend growth stocks for as the dividend is growing.

The February 2026 Sure Dividend Core Newsletter Top 10 The new Top 10 for the February 2026 edition of the Sure Dividend Core Newsletter – which we will publish tomorrow morning – has the following characteristics on average:

  • Trading for 83% of fair value

  • 31 Years of consecutive dividend increases
  • 6.4% Expected annualized dividend growth rate
