Dividend growth is a very important item when you are active
in the field of dividend investing. Growth creates wealth and nothing else. All
you need is time and patience.
This week, 34 stocks increased their dividend payments
of which 10 are High-Yields and 19 are currently recommended to buy. The
average dividend growth amounts to 25.29 percent.
Popular stocks from the list are the railroad company CSX
or the pipeline operator Kinder Morgan. A stock that I personally love is the Dividend King
Procter & Gamble who hiked its dividends by 7 percent. The results are very
mixed but oil and gas pipeline companies still dominating the screen.
Here are my favorite dividend growth stocks:
