SBUX - Grew its dividend by 23% over the last 5 years
TXN – 24% over the last 5 years
HD – 24% over the last 5 years
V – 25% over the last 5 years
CVS – 25% over the last 5 years
BA – 26% over the last 5 years
ORCL – 26% over the last 5 years
UNH – 29% over the last 5 years
MA – 49% over the last 5 years
LUV – 66% over the last 5 years
MCD, HRL, LOW, WMT, COST, SHW, AFL, MCK, WM, MSFT and VZ as well
I've wanted to own MA for many years and have never pulled the trigger due to valuation concerns. I don't want to pay 35x earnings for anything. But I've owned V and AXP for years and also bought DFS this Summer when it was below $60.
