Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On August 27, 2013

The best yielding and biggest ex-dividend stocks researched by ”long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Dividend Investors should have a quiet overview of stocks with upcoming ex dividend dates.

The ex dividend date is the final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.

In total, 10 stocks go ex dividend - of which 5 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 4.41%. Here is a full list of all stocks with ex-dividend date within the upcoming week.

Here is the sheet of the best yielding, higher capitalized ex-dividend stocks:

23 Stocks Raised Dividends Last Week | High Dividend Growth Investing

Stocks with biggest dividend hikes from last week; originally published at Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Here is a current sheet of companies that have announced a dividend increase within the recent week. In total, 23 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 11 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 53.70 percent. Below the results are seven high-yields and ten companies are currently recommended to buy.

I personally own Becton Dickinson. I found him with two additional stocks from the industry a few years ago. Stocks from the medical instruments and supplies industry looked cheap during that time. Becton and the others had a bad time and they were traded at a P/E ratio of around 10 to 12 while earnings were forecasted to grow by double-digit rates for the mid-term. As we can see, they still raise dividends despite the uncertain economic environment. Not enough, they increased dividends by a rate of more than 10 percent! So my BDX position is not big. It represents only 0.7 percent of my full stock portfolio.
