This is a recent performance review for seven well-known mid and large-cap equities that are at or near their recently established 52-week highs, and with the potential to make new highs if this earnings season turns out to be favorable: Cintas Corp ( CTAS ), Chubb Corp ( CB ), Ecolab Inc ( ECL ), Genuine Parts Co ( GPC ), Grainger, W.W. Inc ( GWW ), McCormick & Co ( MKC ) and Sherwin-Williams ( SHW ), listed by proximity to a new high. Each of these stocks is a member of the S&P 500 and also a Dividend Aristocrat, meaning the company has increased its dividend every year for at least 25 consecutive years. In the table, below, I have provided the increase each of these equities has made from its 52-week low, as well as how far off from its 52-week high it now trades. I have also provided the annual dividend yield each offers. ( click images to enlarge) The best-performing listed equity from its 52-week low is Grainger, but Cintas is the best-performing over the last 12 months.
