Investors seeking dividend growth often look for companies that not only provide reliable income but also exhibit strong potential for future growth. To identify such stocks, I conducted a detailed screen with a focus on future growth prospects. The criteria included:

Earnings per Share (EPS) Growth: Minimum of 5% annually for both the past and next five years.
Revenue Growth: Minimum of 5% annually for the past five years.
Debt-to-Equity Ratio: A solid debt position with a ratio of 0.5 or lower.
Payout Ratio: A sustainable payout ratio of around 40%.
Market Capitalization: At least $2 billion to ensure stability and market presence.

From this rigorous screening, two standout stocks emerged: Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) and The Travelers Companies, Inc. (TRV). Let's delve deeper into why these two companies are exceptional choices for dividend growth investors.
