This Dividend Stock Has Been Increasing Its Payouts for 75 Straight Periods

What's also rare is a stock that boosts its payouts every quarter. That's what Healthcare Services Group (NASDAQ: HCSG) has been doing. And its streak is incredibly impressive, now sitting at 75 straight rate hikes.
But does that necessarily make it a good investment now. Let's take a closer look.
