Passing a stock screen and showing a high rate of growth for dividends and (in most cases) good total returns will guarantee nothing. If you see any company of interest here, you should do your own research and think about the business strategy being discussed by its management team. Then form your own opinion about how likely the company is to remain competitive over the next decade.
An easy way to begin your research is to click on the tickers for more about each company.

Looking at the total returns for these 24 companies, keep in mind that the five-year return for the S&P 500 was 87% through Tuesday, while the five-year return for the S&P Composite 1500 was 84%. Among these 24 stocks, 14 have beaten the S&P 500's five-year return. That rate of 58% looks pretty good when considering that only a third of the S&P 500 have had five-year returns exceeding that of the index.
