89 Stocks Boosted Their Dividends To New Levels

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. The overall dividend growth continued and ended in an old strength last week.

In total 89 stocks increased their dividend payments of which 30 are High-Yields and 54 are currently recommended to buy. The average dividend growth amounts to 21.05 percent.

Yields come down as a result of the strong stock price gains. The current hikes don’t change the situation because they grow much lower compared to the valuation. Quality dividend stocks getting rare and better priced. That’s my main recognition over the recent months.

Here are my favorite dividend growth stocks:
