38 Stocks And ETFs Let Their Dividends Jump Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, 36 stocks and two ETFs announced to raise dividends. It’s great to see how the American dividend stock machine works. Compared to the number of stocks from the recent weeks, the current results are still thin but solid. The list of the weekly dividend grower is very volatile and the number of constituents is between 10 and 100. This week, the average growth rates amounts to 33.8, a value twice as much as the results from last week.

I love it to see how companies increase their dividend payments despite the fact that I would buy only a few of them. The biggest names on the list are Clorox, Coach, Marriott, Macy’s and Potash. Three of the results are High-Yields and 20 have a current buy or better rating.

This is only a small part of the full Dividend Yield Investor Fact Book Package. The full package contains excel sheets of essential financial ratios from all 113 Dividend Champions (over 25 years of constant dividend growth) and 204 Dividend Contenders (10 to 24 years of consecutive dividend growth). It's an open version, so you can work with it very easily.

The idea to create Factbooks and Fact Excel Sheets was born when I were looking for free aggregated information on the web. As a student of economics, I had not much money to buy the expensive S&P Stock and Bond Guides by McGraw-Hill to educate myself. I must put all my efforts into research and web search. Finally I needed to put all information into one Word and Excel file.

The Dividend Yield Factbooks and Excel Sheets inform students and other persons with a great desire for big data of stock fundamentals and worldwide yields from corporations.

A small donation from you can help me to develop this books and improve the quality of the work. Together we can make the world a better and smarter place. A place with no information advantage between poor and rich persons who have enough budget to buy the expensive data from Reuters and Bloomberg.

As a gift, you will get the Dividend Yield Investor Fact Book Package each month. This compilation contains the following books and one Excel Sheet with financial ratios form all Dividend Champions and Dividend Contenders. Here is what you get for your donation:

- Foreign Yield Fact Book (updated weekly)

- Dividend Growth Stock Fact Book (updated monthly)

- Dividend Growth Excel Sheet (updated weekly)

These books and Excel Sheets are regular updated and keeps you up-to date with current yield figures from the best Dividend Growth Stocks. 

Every donation, even a tiny one, helps us to keep this blog free available for everyone. Help us to support people with no income or big budget to get free and easy information on the web.
