Dividend Growth Stocks Of The Week

Dividend Growth Stock Compilation Of The Past Week

Readers of this space know that the primary focus of my dividend portfolio is to create ever-increasing income money machine by investing in dividend growth securities.

A slew of mixed earnings reports were released over the past week. Investor sentiment remains particularly fragile with uncertainty related to the U.S. Presidential election and the future trajectory of interest rates and global monetary stimulus. 

These factors were enough to nudge the S&P 500 Index slightly lower on the week, even despite dozens of dividend stocks increasing their dividend payouts or just their payments to shareholders.

As a savvy investor, I always make a note of companies that recently raised their dividends. I do this for two reasons:

- First, I like to stay as informed as possible. 
- Second, a dividend hike may introduce me to a company that I’ve never heard of or researched before, giving me the opportunity to learn about the company, dig deeper into its financials, and maybe even become a shareholder. 

With all of this in mind, let’s take a look at 40 big companies that have raised their dividends during the past week.

Here is the compilaton of the 40 latest dividend raiser...

10 Cheap Dividend Growth Stocks Below $20 Price

Contrary to popular belief, not all dividend stocks are priced at double- and triple-digit levels. 

Some of them are downright cheap stocks, with prices below $20 per share, allowing income-seeking investors to own a round lot of them for not a lot of money.

Better still, while theoretically it shouldn’t matter, in reality, cheap stocks don’t face the eventual psychological hurdle of being valued at eye-popping prices that even cause veteran investors to balk.

With that in mind, here’s a closer look at nine attractive but cheap dividend stocks — each priced at less than $20 per share — that also offer nice to downright outstanding yields.

Each member of the attached stock list has grown dividends over more than 5 consecutive years while the market exceed 2 billion. More important is the valuation. The forward P/E is also under 15.

Only 10 stocks have a price tag below USD 20 per share.

10 Nearly Safe High Yielding Stocks For Retirement Investors

As yields on the 10-year Treasury note fall to all-time lows and stock prices rise, the search for safety and return can be challenging.

Many know now that you will make loses if you buy bonds while rates rise in the mid and long-term. 

In my view, it's much better to buy high yielding dividend stocks with growth perspectives. 

Rising earnings and dividends will lead to higher stock prices when earnings multiples are the same.

High yields and price appreciation combine to make for interesting investing, and most of these companies are among the best blue-chip dividend stocks, due to their long histories of paying higher dividends.

Let's take a look at these top high-yield dividend stocks....

5 Technology Dividend Stocks With Better Dividends Than J&J, Procter And Exxon Mobil

The investing landscape has changed quite a bit for dividend investors. 

Those seeking high yields in equities had to traditionally invest in the financial, utilities, telecom, and consumer-staples sectors.

Today, investors can also find attractive yields in an industry traditionally devoid of dividend payers -- technology.

By the end of 2003, only 22 information-technology stocks paid a dividend. Today, that list is up to 185.

Of those companies, 87 are yielding at least 2.17%, the current dividend yield of the S&P 500. Some of the more popular names are paying out well over 3%.

Here are five technology stocks paying a dividend higher than Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and ExxonMobil.

These are the stocks I'm talking about...

10 Stocks Looking Cheap Now During The Cycle

The S&P 500 is already off more than 8%, which means the benchmark index has lost more than 1.7% per week on average for every full week of trading.

If anything, it’s highly unlikely that markets will keep falling so quickly — at that pace, most of the stock market would evaporate by the end of the year.

But any continued losses are unwelcome losses, so investors are rapidly fleeing to more risk-light assets. The problem is the 10-year Treasury yield now yields a mere 1.74%, and many traditional safe-haven stocks have actually enjoyed buying amid the downturn, helping to drive down their yields.

Investors do have a few options for meaningful yield, though. The very downturn that has investors scurrying to find safe-havens has created a bevy of cheap dividend stocks to buy, most of which yield about two or three times the miserable yield on the 10-year.

Here are the results...

With that as the backdrop, here’s a closer look at some unusually cheap stocks to buy in the foreseeable future. Don’t let the word “cheap” throw you for a loop, these are underloved stocks that will serve as a way to squeeze a little extra juice out of the market in 2016.
