24 stocks announced a growing
dividend in the past week. The biggest names were Illinois Tool Works, Expedia,
Hershey and Broadridge Financial Solutions.
Big is beautiful
but to pay a high price for growth or more safety is also irrational. In terms
of cheapness, measured by forward P/E's are Avnet, State National and Ares
Management the top picks.
Asset managers
become the latest stocks on my cheap dividend plays but the industry also faces
a strong headwind of out flooding money. How it will end in the mid-term is a
question of believe. I do think that AUM will growth in the future but there is
still a high sensibility to financial crisis and depressions.
However, let's
face the facts. These are the latest dividend growers. Attached is also a list
of the 20 biggest stocks with dividend growth in the past week. Which do you like?
