13 Stocks With Fresh New Dividend Hikes

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 13 stocks and 4 funds announced a dividend hike within the recent week.

Two High-Yields are part of the results but they are both very small capitalized. The biggest stocks with the most recent dividend growth are Accenture and Phillips 66. Only four companies have a P/E of less than 15. The market gets more and more expensive, a fact that is also reasonable to the low interest policy of Bernanke.
