17 Dividend Challengers With A Strong Buy Rating

Today I would like to take a look at the recommendations from brokerage firms or analysts. 

I analyzed the Dividend Challengers group (stocks with more than 5 years of consecutive dividend growth) by the current recommendations.

Seventeen of the stocks have a current strong buy rating. Attached you will find a full list with some fundamentals.

It's a little bit easier to join the club of Dividend Challengers than to be a Dividend King, Champion, Aristocrat or Contender.

Here are my favorites from the screen...

25 Stocks Increased Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, 25 companies announced to raise their dividend distributions to shareholders. Many REITs and closed-end funds are on the list of the growth stocks.

My favorite is General Mills. GIS increased its dividends by 15.2 percent. That’s a pretty good value in my view especially when you consider that General Mills is not a fast growing stock. I also put shares of GIS into my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio. With the latest hike, the current yield is back above the 3 percent mark.

Another stock with monthly paying dividends is Realty Income. It seems ambitious how fast they grow dividends. The latest hike was 0.2 percent on a monthly basis. The dividend payments of Realty Income are still higher than the earnings per share income – How long could this go on?

From 25 stocks with dividend growth from last week are 15 with a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.58 percent. Linked is a full free list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.

Below the results are 4 High-Yields; 13 companies have a current buy or better rating.
