Are These 8 Great Dividend Grower Underestimated By The Market?

I like it when stocks fall because they become cheaper. That's the reason why I always look at companies with a really bad stock performance.

I personally don't care about analysts and lead investors who are sometimes anxious about the future of the company. In other cases, they need to justify their portfolio risk.

I love it to see bad performing dividend stocks with a very long history of solid growing dividends, especially when the future outlook is still bright.

Below I've highlighted some of the worst performing and most disliked dividend growth stocks on the market with a negative 1-Year performance. They all got low forward P/E and yields over 3 percent.

What do you think, are they underestimated by the market?
