34 Stocks Increased Dividends Recently | 10 High-Yields

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. For all dividend seekers out there: I am publishing each week a list of stocks and funds that have raised their dividend payments within the recent week.

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:
