These 42 Stocks Planning To Pay More Dividends

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Last week, around 42 companies announced a high dividend. I published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 15.51 percent.

It’s always good to see how the dividend growth strategy works. Some of the dividend growers have raised their payments forty times and more. The biggest names come from the oil and gas sector. Eni and Total are the two biggest stocks followed by the British spirit maker Diageo.

Five of the results have a double-digit dividend yield and seven yielding above five percent. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend more than half, 26 in total, of the dividend growth stocks.

19 Cheap Asian Large Cap Dividend Stocks

Large capitalized stocks with low forward P/E’s and good dividends originally published at "long-term-investments.blogspot.com". Dividends are popular and Asian stocks too. A combination of both is not a guarantee for a great return but it brings more ideas to you and your thoughts broaden when you see how Asian stocks are priced.

Today I like to screen some of the best yielding Asian stocks with a listing in the United States. American Depositary Receipts, that’s the correct title. They do not include all top yielding stocks from Asia but ADR’s have a better volume and need to fulfill the SEC requirements. A full compilation of the top dividend stocks from Asia can be found in my weekly publised PDF Dividend Weekly. The book covers over 1,000 dividend paying shares and is completely free.

My criteria:

- Market Capitalization over USD 10 billion

- Positive Dividend Yield

- Forward P/E below 15

Nineteen stocks fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which thirteen have a current buy or better recommendation. Telecoms and oil stocks are dominating the screen.

The Best Yielding Large Cap Technology Stocks

Large Capitalized Technology Dividend Stocks With Highest Yield Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. It’s very important to know what yields are traded within a sector or industry in order to compare risks and premiums. I made a screen of the best yielding large capitalized technology stocks. 82 companies from the technology sector have a market capitalization over USD 10 billion and 56 of them pay dividends. Below, I listed all stocks with a yield over four percent.


Two industries are strongly represented: The domestic and foreign telecom services industry. In my view, these industries offer values for investors but for technology stocks, there are better investments with higher growth. The big burdens of telecom services stocks are huge infrastructure investments due to higher data volumes and low pricing power due to legislation rules and competitive forces. If you want to make big money within the technology sector, you should look at IT stocks and software companies.
