Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally
published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com.
Dividend growth matters and has significant influence to your asset strategy. A
higher dividend in the future also lifts your passive income from stock
investing. It’s a good method to boost your total return.
Out there are many studies, telling you that nearly
half of the average return on the stock market is responsible to dividend
payments. That’s a huge number in my view but what if we are trying to find the
best dividend stocks, stocks that are better than the average? I think about
companies that pay in ten years more dividends to you than you have ever paid
for the whole investment.
I strongly believe that this strategy will deliver
good returns. The only problem is to discover these growth stocks that are
willing to give you huge amounts of money back.
However, one way to get some ideas of the greatest
dividend growth stocks is to look at the current lists of dividend growers. On my
blog I publish on a regular basis these lists.
Last week, 26 companies announced a higher dividend. I’ve
published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached
dividend list for you. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend
growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 25.49 percent.
Five of the results have a high yield of more than
five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend 16 of the latest dividend
growth stocks.
Here
