These Stocks With Recent Dividend Hikes Go Ex-Dividend Tomorrow
Attached you will find a list with stocks, going ex-dividend tomorrow. Each of the listed companies have increased their upcoming dividend.
The list summarizes only stocks with higher dividends compared to the most recent dividend payment. It excludes those stocks with higher dividends over the past TTM.
It's in my view a nice overview. I believe that those stocks will perform better with rising dividends.

The Best Consumer Defensive Stocks Now!
Consumer defensive stocks can add some stability to a portfolio, as they tend to hold up relatively well during downturns while also participating in rising markets.
The sector's relatively sleepy return over the past year led me to wonder if there are any high-quality bargains there. To find competitively advantaged stocks in the sector, I screened all the stocks from the sector and included those with attractive equity story, valuation, and growth figures.
Below are some highlights from our research reports of the companies.

20 Stocks With A Billion Dollar Buyback Program And Yields Over 2%
With bond yields as low as they are, there's no contest. The Fed's zero interest rate policy has created a situation where there's nowhere to go except the stock market.
Of course, the story will change once the Fed raises interest rates, which will make it more expensive for companies to borrow on the bond market. So there is a raging debate about when that will happen.
It is always better to own stocks in such situations. Those can hedge you against inflation. Fur sure, stocks are risky but if you look at the values of a company, and you avoid the big risks by not taking very cyclic stocks into your portfolio, you should be rewarded with a solid return.
Here are some alternatives with yields over 2% and a current buyback program worth over a billion dollar...
20 Best Yielding Profitable Growing Buyback Kings And My 8 Favorite Stocks
Those buybacks are paid from a
profitable operating business that is growing, not only in the past but should
also go forward in the near future.
A consequence is
that each of the attached stocks has a positive 5 years past sales performance,
positive return on assets and positive expected 5 year EPS growth predictions
as well.
Attached you will find the 20
best yielding results.

9 Must-Have Stocks That Should Become Bigger During The Next Recession
When the stock market drops in value, high quality dividend stocks that are less sensitive to the broader economy tend to significantly outperform.
This means that your performance will also suffer but less than the overall market.
A second issue is that large caps with a big footprint in its industry and healthy financial ratios will perform better in stormy times. Smaller and riskier positioned competitors will be thrown out of the market.
That's why most recession will make market leaders often bigger and stronger.
Companies that consistently raise their dividends tend to be very healthy businesses with long-lasting competitive advantages.
Dividend investors like to look for these stocks in the dividend aristocrats list and the dividend kings list, which contain high quality dividend stocks that collectively outperformed during the last recession and have raised their payouts for at least 25 and 50 consecutive years, respectively.
Attached you will find 9 of the currently most attractive stocks which could grow bigger during a market downturn or a recession.
Here are the ideas...
20 Stocks With At Least One Billion Share Buyback Plan In 2016
This can be achieved via stock buybacks to shrink the float and to support the stock, or it can be done via one-time dividends or by raising their annualized quarterly dividends.
In my blog, I often cover successful long-term dividend growth stocks. Those companies managed to raise dividends over a decade or half century.
I also talk a little about buyback stocks. Those gave more money back vie share repurchases which is in the end the same.
Today I would give you a short introduction into the biggest share buyback announced from the current fiscal year 2016.
As of now, we've noticed 94 companies with fresh, new, or increased buyback plans.
Here are the biggest announcements from fiscal 2016 to date...
These Dividend Growth Stocks Could Reduce Its Dividends In The Future
With interest rates now having spent years near their all-time lows, many investors who might prefer safer assets have moved to dividend stocks as a way to generate income from their investments. The problem with this strategy is that it only works if the companies that have been mailing out those dividend checks can afford to keep doing so.
Therefore, income investors should probably avoid putting their money into any company that is currently experiencing a financial hardship that might threaten its ability to continue making dividend payments.
I started my research by screening the Dividend Champions list by stocks with unsustainable dividend measures. High payouts, high debt, low growth and a cyclic business model are key drivers for an unsustainable dividend.
Each of the attached results grown its dividend over 10 consecutive years.
Here are the results from my research, sorted by highest debt load...
8 Dividend Stocks With A 100 Year Payment History And Yields Over 3%
In simple terms, a dividend is the share of profits a company pays out to its investors, usually on a quarterly basis. Some companies, however, crank out dividends at a regular clip.
Dividends are an important component of your portfolio. Most companies that pay a dividend have gone from their fast double-digit growth period into more mature stable entities.
The boards of these companies have determined what portion of earnings should be returned to the shareholders while continuing to grow the business. When market timing misses the mark and startups stall, it’s hard to go wrong with companies that share the wealth.
Attached, you can find a stock selection of the best dividend-yielding stocks over time. Those companies did pay dividends over 100 years or more. In order to get a good initial yield, I've selected only those with an inital yield of more than 3 percent.
The companies I tend to focus on tend to be stodgy corporations that have strong competitive advantages that allow them to keep customers happy and protect their business from competitors.
They are characterized by wide moats, or strong competitive advantages such as geographic monopolies, strong brand names, strong customer relationships, economies of scale or the ability to consistently reinvent themselves.
These companies have managed to boost distributions through two world wars, the cold war, several oil price shocks and countless recessions. Their strong business models have helped them to consistently find new ways to increase sales, pass on cost increases to consumers and gain market share, that has resulted in higher profits and dividends over the past century.
Here are the stocks which paid dividends for more than 100 years without a break....
20 Best Yielding Defensive Consumer Dividend Stocks For Long-Term Investors
These types of companies tend to have high-quality balance sheets and are more resistant to downturns as they produce everyday products that are needed by people regardless of economic conditions. The perception of staples being a safe haven leads to many companies in the sector trading at rich valuations, which can make it difficult to find attractive entry points for new investors. In comparison with the previous sectors that have been highlighted, the consumer staples still have relatively few companies trading below fair value.
Today I would like to introduce some of the best dividend growth stocks from the defensive consumer goods sector.
Attached is a list of the 20 best yielding stocks from the consumer goods sector with a market cap over 2 billion and a dividend growth history of more than 10 consecutive years.
Check out these 10 names...
11 Good Yielding Dividend Growth Stocks You Don't Want To Miss In Your Portfolio
In addition, the
management team of the company should pay a solid amount of the net income back
to shareholders. I talk about dividends and buybacks. Those are very
shareholder friendly activities to create value for investors.
Today I like to
introduce 11 dividend stocks that combine stable cash flows with high dividend yields above 3% and low stock price volatility. The stocks below reward
investors each year with steady or rising dividend payments. Each of these 11
stocks has not reduced its dividend payments in over 25 years.
These are the results in detail:
These 11 Top Yielding Stocks Have A Nearly Secure Dividend
I wish to
concentrate on bigger, more diversified organizations in the U.S. because of
their inalienable quality and solidness. Next, I will utilize three profit
related criteria to choose several dividend all-stars.
To start with, I
will choose only those organizations with dividend yields of 3 percent or more.
By the way, the sustainable of the dividend payments are also in focus of my
research.
It doesn't make sense when a company pays its investor one or two years and then cuts the income stream for the following once – I will screen for companies with a dividend coverage ratio of no less than 250 percent.

The dividend
coverage is characterized as the earnings in relation to the dividend payments.
The higher the ratio, the lower the dividend payouts and the higher the
dividend coverage should be.
Good companies, like Dividend Kings, can pay stable dividends or let grow when despite earnings are falling by 50 percent due to high dividend coverage.
Good companies, like Dividend Kings, can pay stable dividends or let grow when despite earnings are falling by 50 percent due to high dividend coverage.
At last, I will
search for stocks with a reputation of raising their profit payouts over the
long haul. I will search for a five-year normal dividend growth rate of not less
than 3 percent every year.
Attached are my 11 results of which five are highlighted in detail. I hope you find some values in
my work and the current screen. Thank you for reading.
These are my
favorites from the results…
25 Of The Most Attractive Dividend Stocks
These are
tough times for investors who look for cheap companies. The Dow and S&P 500
jump from high to high, but this boom is credit-driven; it's the result of the
monetary easing policy of the world's major government banks.
The good
thing is that we can buy stocks in every market situation, whether the market
has a P/E level of 30 or 10. What we need to is to look at solid growth for the
single stock and not overpay for the future prospects of an asset.
When I look
at the market today, I see that the financial sector, conglomerates and basic
material stocks are the cheapest valued ones in terms of forward P/E, but the
highest growth is predicted for the Services and Technology sector, both of
which have the highest P/E ratios.
Tech stocks
have made many people rich, but if you recall the dot.com bubble in 2000, many
investors and private dealers lost their money because they believed that their
super high-flying stock could change the world.
Facebook, Twitter and Google dominate our world today, but will they do it in 10 or 20 years too? For sure,
Microsoft has survived over 40 years. Oracle, IBM and even Apple also developed into dominant players and
created a long track record, but technology is a fast changing business. You
can make billions in a year, but also lose all your money in the next
half-decade.
I own some
of the old-school technology stocks too, but I don't like to pay for the
uncertain future of a company more than it makes sense in an economic view. I
will not pay 500 times sales today because of the company's next revolutionary
product if I don’t understand how it works.
I want
dividends and a fair chance to make an 8 percent or more return, nothing else.
The market has enough opportunities to realize this goal, and it is easy to
succeed.
I've found
a new screener on Morningstar, but it seems only to work with Canadian and US
stocks. Morningstar has a great classification of companies, from financially
healthy to growth, so I tested it.
Today, I
was looking for fairly valuated growth stocks with a good dividend yield. In
addition, 5-year expected earnings growth had to be over 8 percent. The screen
delivered 25 results, and my focus is still on consumer stocks, as well as
non-cyclical dividend payers.
Below are 5
of my favorite picks. Do you like some of them? Please let me know what you
think from the screen.
8 Dividend Growth Stocks On The Sweet Spot
Out there happening very exciting moments
on the market. Due to the recent stock market crash, stocks look a little bit more attractive than weeks before while the total number of potential dividend growers rise steadily.
The fantastic economic recovery of the recent years was the the most important item which helped to grow the
total number of stocks with more than 5 years of consecutive dividend growth to 488! I expect that we would hit the 500 mark by the end of this year.
It's great to see
that we've more and more opportunities in the dividend growth investing field
but if we look at the valuations on the market, we definitely notice that it's still hard to find real bargains.
Some stocks are
too expensive, others are cheap but those companies release falling earnings
and sales figures or they are overloaded with debt. What we need are long-term
dividend growth stocks on the sweet spot.
After the recent
sell-off on the market, I screened my database by stocks with a current
dividend yield over 3 percent and a low forward P/E of less than 15. In
addition, the expected earnings should grow by at least 5 percent (analyst predictions), year by year
for the next five fiscals.
Around 30 companies
fulfilled these criteria at the moment. I try to highlight some of the best
ideas. Below are 8 stocks, sorted by market capitalization.
Ex-Dividend Stocks: Best Dividend Paying Shares On August 29, 2013
The ex dividend date is the
final date on which the new stock buyer couldn’t receive the next dividend. If
you like to receive the dividend, you need to buy the stock before the ex dividend
date. I made a little screen of the best yielding stocks with a higher
capitalization that have their ex date on the next trading day.
In total, 64 stocks go ex dividend
- of which 18 yield more than 3 percent. The average yield amounts to 3.69%.
