Dividend Growth Stock

Nicholas Ward Seeking Alpha talks about high quality dividend growth stock and what he means by that. He uses Apple (NASDAQ-AAPL) to illustrate his points.

I agree with most of what he says. However, I personally am not keen on stocks that do share buybacks.

• Does the company have a history of reliable and generous dividend growth?
• Has the company shown the ability to reliably increase its dividend throughout a wide variety of economic environments?
• Are the company's profit related metrics growing?
• Are the company's sales growing?
• Are margins headed in the right direction?
• Is the payout ratio acceptable?
• Does the company benefit from secular growth tailwinds?
• Is the company's balance sheet sound?
• Is management conservative with the debt load?
• Does the company have a history of reducing its share count?
