I know this is an impossible question, and that in most cases the answer is "it depends," but without knowing anything else about a company, what do you consider a good 5 year average dividend growth rate? Maybe to make the discussion a little more manageable, let's assume we are talking about large, mature companies that have been paying and raising the dividend for a long time -- that is, 20% raises are not to be expected.
I know we all want dividend growth to beat inflation, but are you happy with 6 to 8% growth per year? Or do you consider that average or slow?
If you had to assign a grade to 7% average dividend growth, is that a B+ or a C-?
Just curious how you all calibrate expectations.
