Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally
published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”.
Within the past week, 20 companies announced a dividend hike. I’ve the feeling that
the number of hikes go down for a few weeks. I remember times when 70 stocks a week
hiked its dividends. But I think it’s only a span and the number will rise in the
future.
The most promising hike was in my view made by Raytheon.
The military supplier for the government suffers under the fear of budget cuts.
The current hike is a clear statement to investors that they have strong fundamentals
and could hike dividends despite potential sales and earnings declines.
Another stock with a wonderful growth announcement was
Air Products and Chemicals. The major diversified chemical company will raise dividend
payments to shareholders by 10.9 percent. A reader of my blog asks me recently for
my view about the stock. He thought that APD has a great market position in the H and Helium market and could start to boom
if prices go up.
