Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally
published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com.
I strongly believe that dividend growth investing will deliver good returns. As
of now, I quadrupled my net worth by trading dividend growth stocks and boosted
my passive income to a five-figure annual salary.
It’s great to see how everybody can build a portfolio of
stocks that is growing and becomes better over the time. It feels like you are a
real investor. Not playing with money or spending it. You invest it. You watch your
assets and observe how your portfolio companies develop over the time. Some stocks
will disappoint you and fail for sure. But if you have a good diversification of
at least 50 shares or more, your average return will be great.
However, back to the current dividend growth stocks from
last week. On my blog long-term-investments.blogspot.com, I publish on a
regular basis lists of the latest dividend growers.
Last week, 29 companies announced a higher dividend. I’ve
published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached
dividend list for you. You can also find a compilation of price and yield ratios
there. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks
have increased their dividend payments by 17.03 percent.
Four of the results have a high yield of more than
five percent and three yielding over 10%. Analysts and brokerage firms
recommend 14 of the latest dividend growth stocks.
