ratios in this post. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend
growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 30.57 percent. Big companies
are on the list: Royal Bank of Canada, Altria, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Seadrill

I have no special preference when I buy stocks. I like
it to get diversified but my focus is also on cheaply priced stocks. Only 11 stocks of the recent dividend growers still have a forward P/E of less than 11.
Four of the results have a high yield of more than
five percent and one stock yields over 10%. Analysts and brokerage firms
recommend 10 of stocks with recent dividend boosts.
