Hi,
Our top 3 past buys based on cumulative total returns in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter (formerly the Sure Passive Income Newsletter) are:
- +205% From Parker Hannifin (PH)
*Recommended in the November 2022 edition
- +187% From Cummins (CMI)
*Recommended in the December 2021 edition
- +164% From Oracle (ORCL)
*Recommended in the February 2021 edition
Notes: The above returns are based on the first trading day after our first buy recommendation, and through March 12th, 2026 (in line with last month's edition).
What's interesting about these 3 securities is that they generated their returns through a mix of strong growth and valuation expansion.
Growth returns are below:
- PH's EPS were $18.72 in fiscal 2022 and $27.33 in fiscal 2025 for growth of ~46%.
- CMI's EPS were $14.61 in fiscal 2021 and $23.78 in fiscal 2025 for growth of ~63%.
- During our initial recommendation, we expected EPS of $4.40 for ORCL. We now expect EPS of $7.35, for a growth return of ~67%
Note: The exact growth returns are approximate as we didn't invest right when fiscal year earnings were released.
All 3 securities generated significant positive EPS growth.
And of course, all 3 had growing dividends which helped boost returns.
These 3 also experienced positive valuation multiple expansion.
- PH's P/E ratio at the end of 2022 was 15.7.
It was 23.0 at the end of 2025, for growth of 46%.
- CMI's P/E ratio at the end of 2021 was 14.9.
It was 21.5 at the end of 2025, for growth of 44%.
- ORCL's P/E ratio using expected EPS during our initial recommendation was 14.8. As of our last Sure Analysis report on ORCL, its P/E ratio using expected EPS was 26.9, for growth of ~82%.
Note: The exact valuation returns are approximate as we didn't invest at year end.
All 3 securities generated very strong valuation multiple expansion.
It's worth noting that all 3 were purchased at reasonable-to-low P/E ratios.
The main lessons to take from our best performers in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter are:
- Buy and hold through dips, so long as the dividend is growing. These strong returns were generated through holding, not trading in and out of these securities.
- Buy at fair or better prices. Don't invest in overvalued securities, as they are riskier in terms of valuation multiple contraction. Instead, invest in strong businesses at fair or better prices so you give yourself a better chance to benefit from valuation multiple expansion.
- Invest in businesses that are likely to be able to generate continued growth in earnings on a per share basis. The above 3 stocks certainly did so. Growing earnings gives management the ability to pay growing dividends. Looked at differently, focusing on dividend growth stocks means focusing on stocks likely to be able to generate rising EPS over time.
