Stocks With Recent Dividend Growth In The Past Week

Dividend Growth Stock Compilation Of The Past Week

Readers of this space know that the primary focus of my dividend portfolio is to create ever-increasing income money machine by investing in dividend growth securities.

A slew of mixed earnings reports were released over the past week. Investor sentiment remains particularly fragile with uncertainty related to the U.S. Presidential election and the future trajectory of interest rates and global monetary stimulus. 

These factors were enough to nudge the S&P 500 Index slightly lower on the week, even despite dozens of dividend stocks increasing their dividend payouts or just their payments to shareholders.

As a savvy investor, I always make a note of companies that recently raised their dividends. I do this for two reasons:

- First, I like to stay as informed as possible. 
- Second, a dividend hike may introduce me to a company that I’ve never heard of or researched before, giving me the opportunity to learn about the company, dig deeper into its financials, and maybe even become a shareholder. 

With all of this in mind, let’s take a look at 40 big companies that have raised their dividends during the past week.

Here is the compilaton of the 40 latest dividend raiser...

20 Best Dividend Paying Restaurants

Restaurant stocks are a little risky, since they're subject to food scares, seasons and recessions, but they're fun, especially if they have dividends. 

Yet some analysts are predicting a bear market will impact restaurant stocks in the near future, since consumers cut their discretionary dining budgets when times are tight. 

The sector is on the front lines when the bear market appears. But others say the public might head toward affordable food, so restaurants with lower priced menus might do well. And, with consumer confidence in July at one of the highest points since the recovery, at 97, and unemployment claims so low, these may be signals of a healthy economy.

Making income through dividend investing involves searching for solid companies that have a good chance of increasing the dividend year after year. As the company's sales and profits grow, dividends usually grow also, and the money you make can be reinvested or used as cash. 

Attached you will find a list of all dividend payers in the restaurant business.

Here are the best dividend paying restaurants on the market...
