24 Stocks With Fresh Dividend Hikes

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 24 companies increased its dividends within the recent week. Compared to 15 stocks from the previous week, it’s a small improvement but not the big numbers of 50 or more. The average dividend growth amounts to 32.07 percent.

Several recent dividend growth stocks have a market capitalization over $10 billion. Those are big names like McDonald’s, or Microsoft. The technology and software giant also announced to buy back $40 billion in own shares. That’s around 14 percent of the current market value.

I’ve attached a list for you of all dividend growers from the past week. You can also find there a list of the current valuations of the stocks. Half of the results still have a low forward P/E below 15 and eleven received a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.
