I was wondering what fellow dividend growth investors think are some of the best bargains/top buys for dividend growth stocks with today's prices. Here are some stocks that rank highly for me:
- MCD
- XOM
- WMT
Please let me know your thoughts!

Bought into XOM and MCD at $92 a piece.
Would love to own a bit of HP, AAPL ans MSFT at current prices.
Yet...no capital

Some good names on the list but I don't know that RGR or CALM would be considered dividend growth names as both have payouts that vary with earnings.
I like HP, GPS, MSFT, QCOM, XOM, CBRL, and MO from your list and own MSFT, QCOM, CBRL and MO.

Here's a screen shot of the top ten DG scorers from my current watch list, updated to reflect today's prices. (You'll see I haven't updated the underlying info for may of these in a month or two.) Score is out of a possible 100.
This isn't a "buy" list for me -- just a starting point. Some of these I already have full positions in, so would not buy (much) more. Others aren't a great fit with my diversification goals. Etc. For the same reasons, other names that I am interested in right now might not make it into the top 10.
Let me know if further explanation of any of that would be helpful.

DE looks good.
Debt a bit too high maybe? Would like to see them start paying it down
PSX is also tempting but just missed Q2 earning estimates.
IBM - wouldn't touch it with a barge pole after today!
Long in AFL, XOM and MCD.
Looking to pick up some T soon and maybe P&G but the 22 p/e is making it look unlikely!

If I remember correctly, the DE debt situation looks much worse than it actually is because much of it is for their financing division.

I really like SNY right here. It's overlooked by US dividend growth investors because it's French and only pays yearly, but I think it's a great investment, cheap, and it's one of my largest positions. The earnings the past few years look suspect but it's a patent cliff/pipeline strength story, which is just part of pharma.
Also liking JNJ, UTX, GE, QCOM, GWW, V, TD, BNS. That's probably what I'd buy tomorrow if I were to build someone a portfolio.

My only pharma stock at present js GSK.
Bought in at 5.4% yiled.
The dividend growth history is patchy and they stock is pressed due to a collapse in China sales because of a bribary scandal.
It has a strong growth pipeline and I would be buying more if it weren't for the fact I'm trying to diversify as my portfolio is tiny and weighting stocks at 20 odd percent each!
