12 Stocks That Are No Dividend Champs Due To Flat Payments But Great Dividend Investments

Dividends are nice, to be sure … particularly to long-term investors who specifically need reliable income.

But not all dividend stocks are created equally. To remain a viable long-term holding to income seekers, these cash-producing stocks also need to offer reliable dividend growth over time to fight off the effects of inflation.

What good is a stagnant dividend, after all — as the payout stays the same, its purchasing power slowly erodes. And it’s surprising how many dividend paying companies don’t up their payouts to even keep pace with inflation.

It's not a shame when a company runs his dividend flat for a few years but the strengh dividend growth criteria don't add them up into the Dividend Champions league.

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?
