I track a curated universe of 50 high-quality dividend growth stocks to identify opportune entry points based on valuation and future return potential. Year-to-date through June, the investable universe returned 8.69%, trailing SPY (10.10%) and SCHD (17.50%), but several individual stocks outperformed significantly. Currently, 39 out of 50 stocks offer a forward return estimate of at least 10%, with 22 appearing potentially undervalued by my free cash flow model.
