Dividend Aristocrats provide that purchasing power protection because they have long-term records of increasing their dividends each year, Carlson continued.

The company posted stronger-than-expected earnings by luring more bargain hunters and price-conscience shoppers. The retailer also has seen a dramatic increase in its e-commerce business. Meanwhile, dollar stores have struggled and retailer Big Lots Inc. tanked after Bloomberg reported it’s contemplating a potential bankruptcy filing, Skousen reported.
