7 Dividend Achievers That Have Strong Upside - 3 of 7

 
 

#3 - Lennox International (NYSE:LII)

The housing market is expected to get a boost as the economy improves. Lennox International Inc. (NYSE: LII) is one of the construction sector stocks to keep an eye on. The company is known for its heating and cooling products. Demand remains strong, as shown by year-over-year topline and bottom-line growth. 

LII stock is up more than 34% in 2024, and it’s been finding resistance around $620 per share. That’s one reason analysts give the stock a consensus Hold rating and suggest the stock may drop. However, since the company’s earnings report in late October, analysts have begun to raise their price targets.  

If you’re looking to get involved, Lennox stock trades at around 29x forward earnings, which is decidedly lower than the average 41x earnings of the construction sector. And the company’s dividend has been increasing for 15 consecutive years and has increased at an average annual rate of over 12% in the last three years, nearly five times the current rate of inflation.
