The most promising hike was in my view made by Raytheon.
The military supplier for the government suffers under the fear of budget cuts.
The current hike is a clear statement to investors that they have strong fundamentals
and could hike dividends despite potential sales and earnings declines.
Another stock with a wonderful growth announcement was
Air Products and Chemicals. The major diversified chemical company will raise dividend
payments to shareholders by 10.9 percent. A reader of my blog asks me recently for
my view about the stock. He thought that APD has a great market position in the H and Helium market and could start to boom
if prices go up.
