Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally

I enjoy it really to see how dividends grow. One company with monthly payments that
hiked its dividends with an impressive speed is the retail real estate trust Realty
Income. Last week they announced only a small hike of 0.2 percent but this bigger
dividend will be paid every month.
I personally don’t like REITs and financials because of
the high debt. They also invested huge amounts into assets of which I have no idea
how they could perform. I stay by my core research competence and let them do their
work.
Last week, 19 companies and one fund announced a dividend hike. Only half of them have a current buy or better rating. The average dividend growth of the top dividend growers from last week amounts to 53.73 percent.
