Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally
published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com.
Only 14 stocks raised their dividend payments within the recent week. Despite
the low number of growth stocks, the quality is still available.
Big names are again on the list. The biggest player is
Lockheed Martin. The military group announced to boost dividends by 15.7
percent. I love this stock that is so deeply integrated into the U.S. economy.
Five High-Yields are part of the latest dividend
growth stocks but only three companies are currently valuated with a forward
P/E of less than 15. Also three of fourteen shares are currently recommended to
buy.
Basic material stocks as well as financial stocks are
dominating the results – A fact that we’ve also seen over the recent weeks. For
the financial sector it’s reasonable because of the abnormal dividend cuts in
2008 but basic or raw material stocks? It’s really hard to explain why these stocks
hike dividends when the whole sector is under pressure due to falling prices in
anticipation of a slowing Chinese economy.
We will see how it develops over the time. I’ve
attached, like every week, the full list of the latest dividend growth stocks.
