I've been trying to take a look at some of the next potential dividend growth champions that can string off a 40+ year record such as Johnson & Johnson or Coca-Cola or Proctor & Gamble. I want the core of my portfolio to be made up of the normal stalwarts, but I believe there's a place for at least some position in some of the combination high growth businesses that also are growing their dividends, even though their streaks are fairly short. Last month I took a look at Visa, which fits the bill of the high growth and high dividend growth company that I'm looking for. I like their prospects so much that I also initiated a small position. Today I want to look at another budding dividend growth candidate, Starbucks (SBUX). Starbuck's closed trading on Friday, September 20th at $76.12 giving a current yield of 1.10%. So here's a little reading for you while you sip your Starbucks this morning.
