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.
