Consistently rising dividends indicate strong cash flow and financial stability, making such companies attractive long-term investments that often outperform benchmarks. My strategy focuses on stocks with consistent dividend growth and market outperformance, using data from U.S. Dividend Champions and NASDAQ.

After reaching an important support level, Consolidated Edison (ED) could be a good stock pick from a technical perspective. ED surpassed resistance at the 200-day moving average, suggesting a long-term bullish trend.
