10 Stocks And 2 Funds Hiked Their Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. The number of dividend hikers remains low. Only 10 stocks and two additional funds announced to increase their dividend payments last week.

On the list are some well known big players like Conoco Philips, Walgreen, Paychex or Cummins. It’s ever good to see that some stocks keep their dividend growth path. Seven of the results have a current buy or better rating.

Here are my favorite dividend growth stocks:
