50 Shares With Fastest Dividend Growth In July 2013

Stocks with highest dividend growth researched by Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Dividends are back: The numbers of shares with a solid dividend grow accelerated within the recent weeks to old levels and a few big names are below the fastest growing dividend stocks from the past month. Names like McKesson, Wendy’s or Hershey. You might have noticed the dividend growth if you read some of the latest articles on my blog.

Today would like to give you an update of the 50 fastest dividend growers from the recent month. Below the results are again some pretty good stocks with very good growth rates. The average dividend growth of the 50 best stocks amounts to 45.11 percent. Four of the 50 dividend growers have a double-digit dividend yield and ten a high-yield over 5 percent. Around half of the results still have a buy or better rating.

81 Stocks With A Higher Dividend Payment

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth comes back. Last week, 81 stocks announced a higher dividend payment in the future. Six of them have now a double-digit dividend yield and 38 are low valuated with a forward P/E of less than 15.

It’s good to see that the number of dividend growers have risen within the recent week. It’s a sign that the economy is doing well and companies are more confident about the future.

In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 20.73 percent. A value between 5 and 30 is good because your passive income grows faster than the inflation. A too high dividend growth ratio shows that there is something wrong. If not, they have paid very low dividends in the past and let the dividend jump. The most important thing you need to remember is that you receive dividends that are not paid from the substance of the corporate. It means that dividends should be significant lower than the earnings or the corporate. Special dividends are all right but they are only one-time items.
