32 Stocks Raised Dividends Last Week | Oil & Gas Companies Are Big Players

I love dividends and dividend growth stocks because they are one of my major wealth driver. That’s the main reason why I make a regular screen of the latest stocks with dividend growth on my blog “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 

I believe that companies with rising dividends should have a well running business and could have a better performance in the long-run. Below is a current list of companies that have announced a dividend hike within the recent week. In total, 32 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 18 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.33 percent.

Below the top dividend growth stocks are eight with a high yield. 16 companies are currently recommended to buy or even have a strong buy rating. 

If I scroll through the list, I find many oil and gas companies as well as financial stocks. Banks pay more dividends in order to establish pre-financial crises level. Well, that’s still far away. 

Oil & Gas pipeline operators raised dividends very continuously in the past. They benefit from the fact that America experiences a new oil rush with shale gas and shale oil. The new energy sources must be transported with an infrastructure that does not exist for the time being. 

It could be more interesting to look at railroad stocks. I try to make a screen in the near future. What are your thoughts about the lastest dividend growth stocks? Do you own some of them? Would you buy one of them? Please let me know and leave a comment in the box below!

Best Recommended High Yield Dividend Challengers

High Yield Dividend Challengers With Buy Or Better Recommendation Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Dividend Challengers are stocks with uninterrupted dividend growth of at least five years but less than 10 years. 192 stocks, listed on AMEX, NASDAQ or NYSE, fulfilled these dividend growth criteria. I screened the investment category by stocks with a high yield (over 5 percent) and a buy or better recommendation. In order to reduce the results and to eliminate stocks with a lower capitalization, I observed only stocks with a capitalization over USD 2 billion. Ten companies remained. The results are dominated by stocks from the basic material sector (80 percent). The oil and gas pipeline industry presented 60 percent of the results.
