Dividend Growth: 69 Stocks And Funds Increased Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. 

Last week was an additional strong week with 69 dividend hike announcements. The most popular hike was released by Wal-Mart who increased dividend payments by 18.2 percent. I own shares of WMT and was impressed. When I bought the stock, I knew that there is potential to double dividends at flat earnings because of the low payout figures.

Additional highlights from last week’s best dividend growth stocks are Texas Instruments (Dividends are up by 1/3), Kimberly Clark (+9.5 percent dividend increase) and Coca Cola (+9.8 percent).

Summarized: 69 stocks and funds raised dividends of which 48 have a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.90 percent. Linked is a small list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.

Below the results are six High-Yields. 33 companies have a current buy or better rating.

100 Most Bought Stocks By Big Investment Gurus

Stocks With Recent Engagements By Investment Professionals Researched By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. Investment gurus are asset or fund managers with big amounts of cash under management. They became popular by big returns and spectacular investment strategies. I talk about investors like George Soros and Warren Buffett. They all have one thing in common: The average return beats the market and if they invest, the market follows.

I made a screen of the biggest stock buys from 49 super investors over the recent six month and ranked them in my 100 best guru buy list. They all bought 577 stocks within the past half year.

The top stocks are Google (GOOG) and Oracle (ORCL). The information internet provider was bought by seventeen investment gurus and the business software company by sixteen. Sixty percent of the ten biggest buys were made within the technology sector and forty within the financial sector. Below is a detailed overview of the best yielding dividend stocks that were bought by at least three stock market gurus.
