Hormel: Going for (dividend) growth Realty Income is a great core holding, but you can't forget that inflation is a big issue, and it fluctuates over time. The big thing here is that Hormel is a brand manager, with food products that span the grocery store, including iconic names like SPAM, SKIPPY, Jennie-O, and Dinty Moore. But don't forget to add dividend-growth-focused names like Hormel to the mix as well, since they will help you avoid the ravages of inflation that will eat away at slow-growing dividends from higher-yielding investments.
