Good morning,
The goal of the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter is to find:
- High quality dividend growth securities
- To buy and hold forever
- For rising passive income
The idea is to find investments that you can buy once and receive income raises from dividend increases indefinitely.
Investments like this are rare, but they do exist.
The Dividend Kings are evidence of that...
The Dividend Kings are the best-of-the-best in dividend longevity. To be a Dividend King, a stock must have increased its dividend payment for 50 consecutive years or more.
Note: There are currently 58 Dividend Kings. Here's a spreadsheet download of all 58.
It’s our job at Sure Dividend to find the stocks of businesses that are most likely to continue paying rising dividends far into the future.
One of the best starting points to finding stocks with long-term dividend growth potential is to look for stocks that have already done so.
And that’s just the starting point...
Not all stocks with long dividend growth histories are still growing at respectable rates.
Some are clearly distressed and have reduced odds of growing dividends.
And some stocks with shorter dividend histories are poised for long-term term dividend growth.
That's where the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter (SDG) comes in.
It analyzes our top 10 best growth-focused dividend stocks buys every month.
Note: We will publish the new July 2026 edition of the SDG Newsletter tomorrow (Sunday) morning.
SDG Newsletter Long-Term Holding Record
Not counting spinoffs received from previous recommendations, we have recommended 87 securities in total since we published the inagural edition in October of 2020.
Notes: WBD, SOLV, and WAT were three spin-offs received from T, MMM, and BDX respectively, which we have sold. We are also currently holding Solstice (SOLS) and Honeywell Aerospace (HONA), which were spun-off from Honeywell (HON), and Versant Media (VSNT), which was spun-off from Comcast (CMCSA). We are not counting spin-offs in the analysis in this email because they weren’t initial buy recommendations in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter.
Our only sell rule in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter is to sell when a stock breaks its streak of consecutive annual dividend increases, by:
- Failing to increase its dividend
(flat year-over-year-dividends)
- Reducing its dividend
(declining year-over-year dividends)
- Eliminating its dividend
We’ve had a total of 5 non-spinoff sell recommendations (T, MMM, BAX, UGI, and FLO for those curious).
The average holding period (through 7/17/26) of our 87 previous recommendations based on their first recommendation date (which is the first market day following the newsletter in which they were first recommended) is 3.9 years.
The average holding period of our recommendations will almost certainly increase over time as the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter itself extends its longevity.
"I feel like I finally have a true handle and mindset on investing. I wish I started this sooner in life. I made a lot of poor sell decisions in the past that lost opportunity costs. Holding forever is truly the best advice with quality dividend growth companies."
– Sure Dividend reader
If holding 10 stocks for 2 years equals 20 years of “cumulative holding time”, then we are averaging 1 sell every 67.5 years of cumulative holding time based on the first recommendation date of a security.
Thought of inversely, based on historical data, there’s only a 1.5% chance any specific previous Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter recommendation will be sold in a given year.
And we expect those odds to improve over time.

We will publish the new July 2026 edition of the SDG Newsletter tomorrow (Sunday) morning
Our top 10 buys in the upcoming July 2026 edition have the following compelling characteristics:
Notes: We use adjusted estimated EPS for the current fiscal year for earnings metrics. Data from the 7/15/26 Sure Analysis spreadsheet.
The image below shows the total trailing-twelve-month dividend growth over the last 10 years from the Top 10 buy recommendations in the upcoming July 2026 Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter (SDG).
Source & Notes: Ycharts, data from 7/16/2016 through 7/15/2026. One Top 10 security was removed due to its shorter dividend history.
I expect all 10 of this month's Top 10 to continue to compound their dividends far into the future.
With that said, the image above isn’t a forecast of the future. It is a display of the type of raises long-term buy and hold dividend growth investors can receive.
