Dividend Growers of the Week

I'm a dividend growth investor and watch daily what companies have raised their dividends. During the past week, seven stocks with a market capitalization of more than 1 billion increased dividends. Five of them have a current yield of more than 4 percent.

I've compiled all stocks with dividend growth in one sheet. Attached, you can find the list. The biggest names are U.S. Bancorp which Warren Buffett also owns. He recently added the company to his portfolio.

Agilent, Morgan Stanley and the monthly dividend payer Realty Income increased dividends.

Others are the fast growing semiconductor company Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) who has an unbelievable momentum as well as the Retail REIT W.P. Carey.

Agilent is also a stock that Warren Buffett should love while Morgan Stanley announced a huge dividend hike in April this year. Realty Income is still one of the most favored High-Yield stocks that pay monthly dividends.

Many banks and REITs are on the list. It should be a sign that those stocks benefit from low interest rates and quantitative easing.

Banks benefit not as much as REITs due to the low interest rates, but banks start to hike because their regulation allows it after the shocking financial crises in 2008.

Remember that those two industries are not in my dividend growth focus because they are cyclic and offer a kind of black-box for investors which I don't like. I like to see what I get.

Here are the dividend growers of the week:

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I enjoy it really to see how dividends grow. One company with monthly payments that hiked its dividends with an impressive speed is the retail real estate trust Realty Income. Last week they announced only a small hike of 0.2 percent but this bigger dividend will be paid every month.

I personally don’t like REITs and financials because of the high debt. They also invested huge amounts into assets of which I have no idea how they could perform. I stay by my core research competence and let them do their work.

Last week, 19 companies and one fund announced a dividend hike. Only half of them have a current buy or better rating. The average dividend growth of the top dividend growers from last week amounts to 53.73 percent.

23 Stocks Raised Dividends Last Week | High Dividend Growth Investing

Stocks with biggest dividend hikes from last week; originally published at Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Here is a current sheet of companies that have announced a dividend increase within the recent week. In total, 23 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 11 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 53.70 percent. Below the results are seven high-yields and ten companies are currently recommended to buy.

I personally own Becton Dickinson. I found him with two additional stocks from the industry a few years ago. Stocks from the medical instruments and supplies industry looked cheap during that time. Becton and the others had a bad time and they were traded at a P/E ratio of around 10 to 12 while earnings were forecasted to grow by double-digit rates for the mid-term. As we can see, they still raise dividends despite the uncertain economic environment. Not enough, they increased dividends by a rate of more than 10 percent! So my BDX position is not big. It represents only 0.7 percent of my full stock portfolio.
