Dividend Radar is a weekly automatically generated spreadsheet listing stocks with dividend increase streaks of five years or more.\nTo compile this month's candidates, I considered stocks in the Defensive sectors (Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Utilities) with favorable valuations based on my recently adopted quality/valuation screen.\nScreening and Ranking\nThe latest Dividend Radar (dated April 9, 2021) contains 762 stocks but only 140 are stocks in the Defensive sectors. Here is my quality/valuation screen:\n\nIn my view, stocks passing this screen have favorable valuations. I'm willing to pay premium prices for stocks withExceptionalorExcellentratings. Only 25 of the Defensive sector stocks in Dividend Radar pass my quality/valuation screen. The markets are trading in record territory, so it is unsurprising that so few stocks have favorable valuations!\nI ranked the 25 candidates and present the 10 top-ranked stocks for consideration. To rank candidates, I sort them in descending order based on quality scores (as determined using DVK Quality Snapshots). There are many ties, so I break them using the following metrics, in turn:\n\nSimply Safe Dividends' Dividend Safety Scores\nS&P Credit Ratings\nDividend Yield\n\nI rarely need to use the dividend yield to break ties.\nTop 10 Dividend Growth Stocks for April\nHere are this month's 10 top-ranked DG stocks in rank order:\n\nI own all but one of the top-ranked DG stocks in my DivGro portfolio.The following company descriptions are the author's summary of company descriptions sourced from Finviz.\n1.

The last column shows the discount (Disc.) or premium (Prem.) of a recent price to my fair value estimate.\nMy fair value estimates are derived from fair value estimates and price targets available at several sources, including Morningstar and Finbox. I alsoestimate fair valueusing the five-year average dividend yield of each stock using data from Dividend Radar. With several estimates and targets available, I ignore the outliers (the lowest and highest values) and use the average of the median and mean of the remaining values as my fair value estimate.\nSource: Created by the author. Includes data sourced from Dividend Radar.\n\nThe CDN column is calculated by summing a stock's current yield and its 5-year dividend growth rate. I color-code the CDN according to the likelihood of generating annualized returns of at least 8%. Green means likely, yellow means less likely, and red means unlikely. Green CDNs are favorable and yellow CDNs are some what favorable.\nCommentary\nHere's a comparative analysis of an equal-weighted portfolio of this month's top 10 DG stocks, courtesy of Finbox.com:\n\nFrom a price-performance perspective, the portfolio would have underperformed the S&P 500 over the last five years. It is noteworthy that the 10 top-ranked stocks for April, as a group, did not drop as much as the broader market in late February/early March 2020. This indicates that the group has a low beta, which is confirmed in the ranking table on the right.\nThe best performers over the trailing 5 years are UNH and LLY:\nSource: Portfolio-Insight.com\nI own all these stocks with the exception of Eli Lilly and Colgate-Palmolive.\nTo add a new position to DivGro, I prefer to see a favorable CDN. Looking at their CDN in the table above,LLY has a CDN of 11 (color-coded yellow) and CL has a CDN of 5 (color-coded red). This indicates that LLY isless likely, and CL isunlikely, to deliver annualized returns of at least 8%.\nTherefore, I'm not interested in adding LLY and CL to my DivGro portfolio at this time.\nOnly UnitedHealth Group offers a favorable CDN (color-coded green), afforded by its impressive 5-year DGR of 20%. Given that UNH delivered the top total performance over the past five years, let's see what the stock's prospects are by considering its earnings estimates:\nSource: Portfolio-Insight.com\nUNH's earnings growth is impressive and the estimates for FY 2021 and beyond look promising. Likewise, UNH's dividend growth history looks impressive and I'm hoping for continued double-digit percentage increases going forward!\nI need to add about 20 UNH shares to my portfolio to turn my position into a full position, and I'm planning on doing so soon.\nConcluding Remarks\nIn this article, I ranked Defensive stocks trading at favorable valuations. My recently adopted quality/valuation screen allows some leeway when looking at the valuation of high-quality stocks. For high-quality stocks ratedExceptional, I'm willing to pay up to 10% above my fair value estimate. Likewise, for high-quality stocks ratedExcellent, I'm willing to pay up to 5% above my fair value estimate.\nI think UNH is worth considering, and I'm planning to add 20 shares to my current position soon.\nSince there are no Utilities Sector stocks in the top 10, as a bonus, here are the stocks ranked 11-20:\nSource: Created by the author.
