12 Best REITs With Solid Fundamentals To Finance Profitable Growth

Owning such things as office buildings and self-storage facilities, real estate investment trusts rake in rents and must pay at least 90 percent of their taxable income to shareholders. 

As long as they can keep raising rents and dividend payments, the stocks should fare well. 

Indeed, REITs’ underlying properties should post a 4.5 percent average gain in operating income this year, fueling dividend growth in the “high single-digit” range, says investment firm Lazard, and yields in the range of 2 percent to 6 percent.

Attached you will find a selection of Reits with Return on Assests over 5 percent and solid debt ratios. 

This is in my view the best way to discover stocks with potential for profitable growth in the future.

13 Stocks With Dividend Growth In The Past Week

13 companies raised their dividends during the recent week. Dividend is so important for investors who like to grow their investments.

Below is a full list of all stocks that have raised their dividend payments within the past week. Five of the firms have a current yield of more than 3 percent.

Kroger, DTE Energy, Matson, Disney and Worthington Industries were the biggest stocks, all with a market capitalization above the one billion Mark.

Disney is for me the most impressive stocks. It has grown more to a merchandise company and licensing business than to an entertainment company, which is in general good.

I've missed the chance to buy the stock. I still believe that the current prices are too high but they truly reflect the strong growth which did not disappoint. Maybe I get some shares within the next market correction.

These are the latest dividend growers, sorted by yield....
