These Dividend Contenders May Rise Dividends Within The Next 3 Months

Recently, I wrote about DividendChampions that may rise dividends within the next 3 months in order to keep their status as dividend grower alive.

It's fantstic to know what companies should hike it's dividends because the current yields are so low that each investor get tears in his eyes.

A potential dividend hike could lift the current dividend yield on a new level.

Today I like to introduce some Dividend Contenders with potential to hike dividends over the next quarter. As a result, I found 20 companies; nine of them yield over 3 percent.

Dividend Growth is a wonderful investing space on which I personally spend a lot of time. 

I love it to see dividends grow but it's only possible if a company grows and has low debt ratios.

These are my 6 highlights... 

5 Dividend Champions With Higher Dividends In 3 Months

No one has a crystal-ball but when we look forward in the dividend growth space we have a great possibility to find stocks that may raise dividends in the near future in order to keep their status.

Today I like to introduce some Dividend Champions that need to hike dividends over the next three month. They did grow dividend over more than 25 years, why stopping now?

In total, 13 stocks must grow dividends of which two are High-Yields. For sure most of the 13 stocks have grown their dividends by a low rate of less than 10 percent annually. The fastest Champ was Archer-Daniels-Midland with a 5-Year dividend growth rate of 7.9 percent.

Small dividend hikes are not bad. Remember, the inflation is also low and a 3 percent dividend hike could hedge your investment.

The best performing stock from the list was the financial services company McGraw Hill. Since 2010, the company went up 150 percent while the worst performer, AT&T realized only a gain of around 18 percent.

These are my 5 favorites...

How To Build A Diversified Dividend Growth Portfolio?

Diversification is a key element in the investing space. Each investor should have a well diversified portfolio in order to eliminate the big risks.

We are no Warren Buffett who met the CEO's and Chairman’s of a company in a private talk and cannot evaluate risks in a deeper detail. What we make is desk research and those investors need to be diversified. 

Attached are 12 great Dividend Aristocrats from different sectors which you can use to build a broader diversification for your own portfolio.

Dividend Aristocrats don't just sound royal, they performed like kings in the past. Over the last decade, an index of the 54 Dividend Aristocrats stocks has returned 10.91% a year, versus just 8.06% a year for the S&P 50.

Remember, a past performance is for sure no guarantee for a solid future return. As a group, the 10 stocks below have an average dividend yield of 2.8% and an average P/E ratio of 18.5. 

These are the results with a 3+ percent annual dividend yield...

While the markets hit new all time highs on a regular basis, each investor fears the power of a strong market correction; me too!
