How we would know whether a company is a stable growth company or not?

Based on the usual criteria to pick stable-growth companies, your list seems to fit in. Isn't a growing Free Cash Flow also part of picking such stable growth companies. I feel that is important.

I personally dont have enough knowledge to recommend atable growth companies. However, this article has a few stable growth companies - http://seekingalpha.com/article/321130-7-high-dividend-stocks-with-stable-growth-rates

I use Gorden dividend Growth Model to value equity of stable growth company. The formula for this model is as follows:

stock price = D/(K-G)

Where:
D = Expected dividend per share one year from now
k = Required rate of return for equity investor
G = Growth rate in dividends (in perpetuity)

In my calculation I am getting -ve stock price because my K is less than G. Is it feasible to have K less than G? What would I do to over come this issue because I can not change K and can't change G.
