  • 89-Year-Old Reader Looks for Growth: Why Dividend Growth Beats Yield
    July 15, 2026, 10:16 AM EDT. Peter, 89, says he's more interested in growing his portfolio than chasing income, which is a different approach from the author's usual high-yield strategy.

The author points out that picking dividend growth stocks-those that keep raising payouts every year-can drive double-digit returns and outperform shares with only high but flat yields. Rising dividends usually show company strength and draw investors, making these kinds of stocks a 'dividend magnet' for people focused on long-term growth. To show the upside, the author mentions EQT Corp, a natural gas producer, and says the strategy makes sense for hands-on investors like Peter aiming for steady capital gains as payouts rise instead of larger income right away.
