Stocks with highest dividend
growth researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital,
Investment. Dividends are back: The numbers
of shares with a solid dividend grow accelerated within the recent weeks to old
levels and a few big names are below the fastest growing dividend stocks from the
past month. Names like McKesson, Wendy’s or Hershey. You might have noticed the
dividend growth if you read some of the latest articles on my blog.
Today would like to give you
an update of the 50 fastest dividend growers from the recent month. Below the
results are again some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates. The
average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 45.11 percent. Four of
the 50 dividend growers have a double-digit dividend yield and ten a high-yield
over 5 percent. Around half of the results still have a buy or better rating.
