Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally
published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com.
Only 15 stocks announced last week to hike dividends. The average dividend growth
amounts to 26.37 percent.
Two big names are on the list. They are Philip Morris and
Franklin Resources. The biggest dividend increases come from Axiall, Royal Caribbean
and Sasol. All three plan to double or more dividends.
It’s good to see that the dividend growth goes into a next
round. Dividend growth shows that the management team is optimistic about the company’s
future and they like to give money back to shareholders they don’t need in this
environment.
