Want safe, growing totally passive dividend income that beats the market? Would you like to know my top five stocks for November 2021?

I focus on and personally invest in, high-quality dividend growth stocks. Why? Perhaps the better question might be, why not?

These are some of the very best stocks in the whole world. They represent equity in world-class businesses that pay reliable, rising dividends. These are, quite frankly, the companies that make the world go round. And in doing so, they make a lot of money. Money which they share directly with their shareholders, in the form of safe, growing dividends.

That said, not all dividend growth stocks are good investments at all times. Today, I want to tell you my top five dividend growth stocks for November 2021.

My first dividend growth stock pick for November 2021 is Allstate Corp. - stock ticker ALL. Allstate is a property-casualty insurance company. This $37 billion (by market cap) company operates in one of my favorite industries of all - insurance. Insurance is fantastic because, first of all, it's often required by law. That's a captive customer base right there. With a 3.6% CAGR for revenue and a 28.9% CAGR for EPS over the last decade, this company just continues to spit out great growth, despite it flying way under the radar.

My second dividend growth stock pick for November 2021 is Atmos Energy Corporation - stock ticker ATO.

Atmos Energy is an American natural gas utility business. With energy shortages across Europe and Asia playing out over the last few months, a basic truth has suddenly dawned on people: Our modern-day society cannot function without cheap, reliable energy. That's just reality. And Atmos Energy, with its $12 billion market cap, is involved in providing cheap, reliable energy to millions of people, primarily in the state of Texas. While revenue is down over the last decade, largely due to a number of business sales and restructurings, EPS has grown at a compound annual rate of 8.9% over that time frame.

My third dividend growth stock pick for November 2021 is Digital Realty Trust, Inc. - stock ticker DLR.

Digital Realty Trust is a global real estate investment trust that owns and operates data centers. You know what I've never heard anyone say? That humanity's future is going to be less reliant on technology. Data centers have a huge role to play in that future. And so Digital Realty Trust, as a major owner and operator of said data centers, with a $46 billion market cap, is positioned extremely well to grow its revenue and profit. Already, their revenue sports a CAGR of 15.6% over the last decade. FFO/share has a CAGR of 2.6% over that time period, even with an abnormal 2020.

My fourth dividend growth stock pick for November 2021 is Gilead Sciences, Inc. - stock ticker GILD. Gilead Sciences is a biopharmaceutical company. Gilead Sciences, with its $81 billion market cap, gets no love from the market. However, love can be expensive. And as Warren Buffett once said: "You pay a very high price in the stock market for a cheery consensus." Despite the lack of love for the stock, the business continues to march forward and grow. They've increased revenue at a CAGR of 12.8% and EPS at a CAGR of 16.7% over the last decade. These are great numbers.

My fifth dividend growth stock pick for November 2021 is VF Corp. - stock ticker VFC. VF is a worldwide apparel and footwear company. Even though this is a $29 billion (by market cap) company, VF is definitely not a household name. However, many of its brands are. Think Supreme, The North Face, Timberland, and Vans. I imagine a lot of companies out there would love to have just one of these brands. Now, revenue is flat over the last decade. And EPS is down by nearly 50%. However, that's due to the pandemic effects and a major spin-off. Meanwhile, CFRA is predicting that VF will compound its EPS at an annual rate of 31% over the next three years as the business fully recovers. We invest in where a business is going, not where it's been.
