I rank a selection of undervalued dividend growth stocks in Dividend Radar and present the ten top-ranked stocks for consideration. I use two valuation screens, one based on my fair value estimate, and another comparing each stock's forward dividend yield with its 5-year average dividend yield. To rank stocks, I do a quality assessment and sort candidates by quality scores, breaking ties with additional metrics.

The market is rotating towards non-tech dividend stocks, with dividend ETFs outperforming the Magnificent 7 so far this year. Elon Musk's DOGE initiative is more political theater than a serious effort, in my opinion, to reduce government waste, with exaggerated savings claims. Key economic metrics to monitor include housing starts, the Dallas Fed Weekly Economic Index, the Conference Board Coincident Index, total employment, and industrial production.

Global warming isn't just a "woke" issue; it has real financial implications for energy investments. DOGE has lofty and worthy goals, but the reality is that Congress controls the purse strings. Delayed Onset Tariff Syndrome (DOTS) will impact global trade and investment strategies. Exactly how remains in question.

The market's recent pullback is over. The S&P has hit record highs, driven by strong earnings growth potential through 2027. Despite the S&P 500's historically high PEGY ratio, robust growth forecasts (10%–15% annual EPS through 2026) mean valuations alone won't necessarily trigger a bear market. These 10‐stock dividend aristocrats are 37% undervalued. They offer an average yield of 3.4% and, if they revert to fair value, the potential to deliver up to 78% upside in 2025.

There is an often overlooked difference between income investing and dividend growth investing. The two are not the same. Timely charts showing that inflation is even more subdued than the official CPI metrics show, but also what threatens to disrupt the disinflationary trend.

Interest rate peaks often cause short-term S&P 500 selloffs, especially for REITs. I retain hope that REITs may decouple from 10-year Treasury yields once rates stabilize. Baby Boomers' economic impact is profound, influencing inflation, wages, and consumption patterns, with Millennials having a smaller effect at later ages in life. Debating whether dividend growth investors should buy Magnificent 7 stocks, I find GOOGL compelling for its reasonable valuation and growth potential.
