5 Buy Rated Dividend Stocks With Fast Rising Payment Outputs

The U.S. interest rates are at historic lows and, at best, only modest interest rate increases can be expected next year. As such, there is hardly any option for income investors. 

With Bonds and Treasury bills yielding less than 2% over a 1-5 year time horizon, stocks with assured dividend growth are perhaps one of the few bright spots for investors. 

As even the most imprudent investor knows, dividend stocks are historically less volatile than non-dividend stocks and are proven outperformers over the long term. 

These stocks are a safe bet to create wealth as dividends generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty. Moreover, these stocks provide downside protection by offering sizable yields on a regular basis. 

A lot of investors consider dividend-paying companies as "boring." Weighed against the high-flying small cap companies, whose volatility seems to excite them, dividend-paying stocks are typically more mature and conventional. Although this may be uninteresting for some, the combination of a consistent dividend payout and dividend growth can be something to get excited about.

Below I've attached some good looking stocks that have grown dividends in the recent 5 years by more than 35 percent and having a current strong buy or buy rating.

Here are the results:

5 Consistently Growing, Profitable, Well-capitalized Stocks With Ever-Increasing Dividend Yields

Sectors with consistent dividends – most notably, utilities – are treated like bonds and tend to do well in low-rate environments. That’s because yields move in the opposite direction of price. But when rates rise, prices fall. 

What I'm looking for are companies that are consistently growing, consistently profitable, well-capitalized, as well as with an ever-increasing dividend yield.

In additon, it's good to look for companies that have consistency like consumer staple companied.

Here are some of the stocks with ever growing sales in the past.

10 Monthly Dividend Paying Dogs

Dividend stockholders of quarterly, semi-annual and annual pay modalities anxiously await announcements from a firm, fund, or analyst to learn if their next dividend will be higher, lower, or paid at all.
