Inflation has totaled 19% since 2021, but three Dividend Champion stocks have grown their dividends faster. These stocks could get a second look from income-hungry investors if the Fed lowers rates again as expected.

The stock market's major indexes delivered, once again, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all climbing to record highs in 2025. Regardless of whether the bull market continues or a bear market takes shape, 10 sensational businesses are ideally positioned to make investors money.

York Water remains a high-quality, conservative water utility, with a strong regulatory relationship and robust infrastructure maintenance. I maintain a Buy rating, with a reduced price target, reflecting prudent adjustments for increased debt and interest expense. YORW trades below 25x P/E, offering over 20% upside to a forward fair value based on historical multiples.

York Water (Nasdaq: YORW) declared a quarterly dividend of $0.228 per share in November 2025, marking a 4.0% increase from the prior year and extending a payment streak that stretches back over a decade.

Dividend stocks have more than doubled the average annual return of non-payers over the previous 51 years. Only around two dozen public companies (out of more than 5,500 listings) have been paying a continuous dividend for at least 100 years.

York Water has continuously paid a dividend to shareholders for more than 200 years. The water utility's recently filed rate case and incremental acquisitions could soon return it to growth. York Water maintains an A- S&P credit rating.

Despite periods of heightened volatility on Wall Street, it's turned into a banner year for the benchmark S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.44%), ageless Dow Jones Industrial Average, and growth-propelled Nasdaq Composite. All three major indexes have catapulted to multiple record-closing highs in 2025 in spite of dipping firmly into correction territory or a bear market (for the Nasdaq) in early April.

Today, we'll be highlighting PFE, YORW, and UPS. The trio offers a market-crushing 5.8% yield, an A- blended S&P credit rating, and is trading 21% below fair value estimates. Pfizer appears to have the product portfolio and pipeline to return to modest growth. The York Water Company's capex spending and bolt-on acquisitions can fuel future growth.
