15 Stocks With Latest Dividend Growth

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Only 15 stocks announced last week to hike dividends. The average dividend growth amounts to 26.37 percent.

Two big names are on the list. They are Philip Morris and Franklin Resources. The biggest dividend increases come from Axiall, Royal Caribbean and Sasol. All three plan to double or more dividends.

It’s good to see that the dividend growth goes into a next round. Dividend growth shows that the management team is optimistic about the company’s future and they like to give money back to shareholders they don’t need in this environment.

The biggest stocks with recent dividend growth are Caterpillar, the retail discounter Target as well as the medical instruments and supplies company CR Bard.

25 Stocks Increased Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, 25 companies announced to raise their dividend distributions to shareholders. Many REITs and closed-end funds are on the list of the growth stocks.

My favorite is General Mills. GIS increased its dividends by 15.2 percent. That’s a pretty good value in my view especially when you consider that General Mills is not a fast growing stock. I also put shares of GIS into my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio. With the latest hike, the current yield is back above the 3 percent mark.

Another stock with monthly paying dividends is Realty Income. It seems ambitious how fast they grow dividends. The latest hike was 0.2 percent on a monthly basis. The dividend payments of Realty Income are still higher than the earnings per share income – How long could this go on?

From 25 stocks with dividend growth from last week are 15 with a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.58 percent. Linked is a full free list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.

Below the results are 4 High-Yields; 13 companies have a current buy or better rating.

Best Stocks With Dividend Growth | 32 Stocks Announced A Dividend Hike Last Week

Stocks with biggest dividend hikes from last week; originally published at Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Here is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend increase within the recent week. In total, 32 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 17 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 24.26 percent. Below the results are six high-yields and eighteen companies are currently recommended to buy.

My favorites are low leveraged stocks. I believe that those companies could give investors a solid chance of further dividend hikes. If not, they could boost growth without capital increases. I do not own any stocks from the screen. I'm annoyed not to buy some Disney shares. Last year, I bought stocks from its rivals Hasbro and Mattel because of the higher yield and lower P/E. They performed well but Disney beats this return despite the fact that the current dividend yield is still low and below the two percent mark.
