20 Dividend Challengers With Fastest Growing Dividends

Dividend Challengers with fastest growing dividend payments originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Recently I screened Dividend Champs with the fastest rate of dividend growth. Mc Donald’s was my best yielding pick. I noticed that the top 20 stocks had a 10 year dividend growth performance of remarkable 10 to 30 percent yearly but for most of them, the performance slowed within the recent years.

It’s not possible of any company to raise dividends at a very high rate over a longer period. It’s also not possible to raise dividend payments with a gaining momentum. Every company that does this must reduce its growth speed over the time.

Today, I like to introduce some of the fastest growing dividend payers that have raised their distributions at least for five consecutive years but less than ten years. Here, the best results have grown their dividend payments over the recent five years with a rate of 90 to 30 percent. That’s definitely a higher growth figure but as I told, very growth rate will come down.

Below the top results of my screen are eleven stocks with a buy or better rating. Three of them are High-Yields.
