Is This Dividend Growth Stock a Buy?
The S&P 500 index is down 11% in 2022 so far. But viewing the bigger picture, the index has delivered 13.5% annual total returns over the last decade. This would have turned a $10,000 investment in August 2012 into over $35,000 with dividends reinvested.
Even better is to beat the market, not match it. This could have been done by investing in a number of stocks. The health insurer Humana (NYSE: HUM) has obliterated the market over the past 10 years, parlaying a $10,000 investment into more than $79,000 with dividends reinvested. This equates to a blistering 23% annualized return.
But can investors achieve similar, market-trouncing returns in the years to come with Humana stock? Let's dig into the company's fundamentals and valuation to decide.
