I believe that companies with rising dividends should have a well running business and could have a better performance in the long-run. Below is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend hike within the recent week. In total, 32 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 18 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.33 percent.
It could be more interesting to look at railroad stocks. I try to make a screen in the near future. What are your thoughts about the lastest dividend growth stocks? Do you own some of them? Would you buy one of them? Please let me know and leave a comment in the box below!

My primary objective for investing is to seek income replacement. I want to earn more income from my investments than the income I earned during my working years.
ReplyDeleteI believe the best way to achieve that is through Dividend Growth Investing.
Dividend growth is the critical piece in the puzzle for creating a portfolio that will serve you over the years. Stay on growth.
This is a simple idea, but it is also the simple most important idea for long term investors. The reason it is so important is that "dividend growth drives the compounding principle" for individual stocks in a way that is certain and inevitable. It is an authoritative force that compels higher returns regardless of the other factors affecting the stock market.
