15 Higher Capitalized Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks

Stocks with monthly dividend payments originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I know that you love it to receive dividends and some of you want dividends on a monthly basis.

I talked about this theme in the past and mentioned that it doesn’t matter how often you will receive the dividend. The good thing is that you get smaller amounts of money earlier that you can use for other investing activities. The bad item is that the more often you get dividends the higher the costs for the company because each transaction will produce costs at banks and service providers.

However, today I would like to introduce some of the 15 biggest companies with a monthly dividend payment. Seven of them yielding over five percent and nine got a buy or better rating from brokerage firms.

Most of the monthly dividends paying stocks have a relation to the financial sector e.g. REITs, Banks or asset management. The second biggest part of the list goes to basic material stocks like gold or oil companies.

26 Stocks Raised Dividends Over The Past Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth matters and has significant influence to your asset strategy. A higher dividend in the future also lifts your passive income from stock investing. It’s a good method to boost your total return.

Out there are many studies, telling you that nearly half of the average return on the stock market is responsible to dividend payments. That’s a huge number in my view but what if we are trying to find the best dividend stocks, stocks that are better than the average? I think about companies that pay in ten years more dividends to you than you have ever paid for the whole investment.

I strongly believe that this strategy will deliver good returns. The only problem is to discover these growth stocks that are willing to give you huge amounts of money back.

However, one way to get some ideas of the greatest dividend growth stocks is to look at the current lists of dividend growers. On my blog I publish on a regular basis these lists.

Last week, 26 companies announced a higher dividend. I’ve published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list for you. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 25.49 percent.

Five of the results have a high yield of more than five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend 16 of the latest dividend growth stocks.
