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.
Below the top dividend growth stocks are eight with a high yield. 16 companies are currently
recommended to buy or even have a strong buy rating.
If I scroll through the list,
I find many oil and gas companies as well as financial stocks. Banks pay more dividends
in order to establish pre-financial crises level. Well, that’s still far away.
Oil & Gas pipeline operators raised dividends very continuously in the past. They benefit
from the fact that America experiences a new oil rush with shale gas and shale oil.
The new energy sources must be transported with an infrastructure that does not exist for the time being.
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!
