This Week’s Capital Growth Dividend Picks

Hi , it’s Max from MaxDividends.

You might recall MaxDividends, or maybe the name just sounds familiar.

Simple context: I focus on dividend stocks that still grow capital and share the top names each week. Right now, fundamentals matter again, and the strongest dividend growers are moving first.

Each week I deliver Capital Growth Dividend Picks: real stocks, focused logic, zero hype. One focused message for investors thinking long term. See what it looks like.

These aren’t high-yield plays. These are businesses built to compound.

🧬 West Pharmaceutical Services (WST)

  • 10-Year Annualized Return: +17.04%

  • 10-Year Total Return (capital growth + dividends): +402%

  • 30+ year dividend streak

West makes the high-precision components that allow injectable drugs and biologics to be delivered safely. That places it at the center of global healthcare without taking drug-development risk.

Once a drug is approved using West’s components, it typically stays there for years. Switching costs are extremely high and margins remain among the best in med-tech.

After a post-pandemic inventory reset, volumes are stabilizing and cash flows remain strong. With a payout ratio below 30%, most of that cash is reinvested into growth and future dividend increases.

☁️ Microsoft (MSFT)

  • 10-Year Annualized Return: +24.64%

  • 10-Year Total Return (capital growth + dividends): +935%

  • 20+ year dividend streak

Microsoft sits inside almost every enterprise workflow. Azure, Office, Windows, Teams, LinkedIn, and Copilot form one of the most powerful ecosystems in business.

What changed in 2025 is that AI moved from investment to monetization. Copilot is now sold as a subscription. Azure AI workloads are accelerating. Margins are expanding again.

With a payout ratio near 24%, Microsoft can raise its dividend, buy back shares, and reinvest aggressively at the same time — a triple compounding engine.

🏭 Donaldson Company (DCI)

  • 10-Year Annualized Return: +13.45%

  • 10-Year Total Return (capital growth + dividends): +315%

  • 30+ year dividend streak

Donaldson makes filtration systems — the parts that keep factories, trucks, and heavy equipment running. That makes its revenue replacement-driven, recurring, and unusually stable for an industrial company.

P.S.
Totally get it if this isn’t something you're into — just let me know and I won’t reach out again.

Thanks, but this isn’t for me

In any case, glad we got to connect — take care!

Wishing you all-around well-being,
Max
