It is great to have passive income.
Even better, it is great to have increasing passive income. Stocks with dividend growth potential can help to provide just that.
For illustrative purposes, I share with you the example of Hershey.
Currently, Hershey has a 2% dividend. Over the past 10 years, they have grown their dividend by 9.48% per year. Absolutely incredible! However, over the past 20 years, the dividend growth has been a solid 5.98%.
Assuming an individual owned $100k of Hershey today, an individual would receive approximately $2,000 per year in dividends.
Over 30 years (assuming no reinvestment of dividends), a 5.98% dividend growth rate would turn $2,000 in dividends today into $11,422 in dividends in the future.
As always, do not put all your eggs in one basket. Stay diversified. Please note: dividend payments are not guaranteed and may be reduced or eliminated at any time by the company.
