77 Top Dividend Growth Stocks | A Full Compilation Of Stocks With Recent Dividend Growth

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”.

77! That’s the number of stocks and funds which raised dividends last week. It’s the highest amount this year and the highest for several months. 

Dividend growth is often a good sign for a healthy business. Corporate leaders like to give money back that they don’t need for their business. They also expect a strong incoming cash flow.

Yesterday, I started to tweet some of those stocks with recent dividend growth via my @DividendSheet account on twitter. You can also follow me there in order get more dividend stock ideas - quick and short informative with current yield and price-earnings figures. I ever try to limit my thoughts but I cover over 50,000 stocks on the world and a few hundreds of them are very good dividend growth investments.

However, 77 stocks and funds raised dividends last week of which 44 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 40.67 percent. Linked is a small list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.

Below the results are 14 High-Yields, stocks with over 5 percent dividend yield. 47 companies have a current buy or better rating.
