45 Stocks With Growing Dividends In The Past Week

Attached is a list of all dividend growers from the past week.

In total, 45 companies increased their dividend payments of which 16 are higher capitalized (over 2 billion market cap).

6 stocks from the results have a yield over 10 percent while 8 paying dividends of 5 to 10 percent. Most of the high yielders are low capitalized stocks of which I'm not really sure how long they will pay dividends in general.

My greatest surprise was the dividend hike of Alliance Holdings and Alliance Resource Partners. Both increased dividends despite high debt and falling coal prices. Shale Gas is killing Coal but ARLP still generate cash from coal mining. Let's follow what happens in the future.

These are my favorites from the list. Which do you like?

100 Best Small Cap Stocks To Place Your Money

Small cap stocks with a strong growth and best dividends to buy, originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Everybody loves growth. If you own an investment and it starts to grow by double-digit rates over a few years, when the stock price explode and you feel like a bird in heaven. I felt a few times like this. But it is also necessary that you sell partly your position over the time. I personally reduce my stocks positions when they have doubled or more. Certainly you can’t get very rich with this rule but you hedge your stock gains and believe me by selling stocks with gains, nobody become poor.

I recently viewed a nice list at Forbes. The list was a research result of the 100 best small cap growth stocks in America. Stocks from the table are public and tradeable in America. They all have a total sales volume below the USD 1 billion mark and fantastic years of recent growth. As you can see at the list, the GDP growth is America is still weak but out there are still investment opportunities to discover.

I discovered the ten best dividend stocks from the small cap growth picks. I needed to screen more than 50 companies in order to find ten stocks with positive dividend payments. Most of the small cap growth stocks don’t pay dividends. But the debt situation is very comfortable. Most of them are free of debt and have bigger cash amounts to their balance sheets in order to finance future growth. The average stock grew in sales by 19 percent yearly. Earnings followd by 31 percent growth yearly and the average return on equity amounted to 20 percent. See the full list of the 100 best small cap growth stocks at the end of this post.

54 Stocks And 4 Funds With A Higher Dividend Payment

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I like it to see dividends grow. It’s a very good sign from the company to give money back to stockholders and share corporate profits.

For the time being, we are in a bullish market and the Federal Reserve is flooding the market with cheap money. These are the main forces for the strong stock market. But a growing dividend is not only a sign of a technical reaction, it’s much more. A dividend growth shows normally that the operating business runs well. Last week, 54 stocks and 4 additional funds announced a higher dividend payment. I published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 17.11 percent.
