These 29 Stocks Hiked Their Dividend Payments Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. I strongly believe that dividend growth investing will deliver good returns. As of now, I quadrupled my net worth by trading dividend growth stocks and boosted my passive income to a five-figure annual salary.

It’s great to see how everybody can build a portfolio of stocks that is growing and becomes better over the time. It feels like you are a real investor. Not playing with money or spending it. You invest it. You watch your assets and observe how your portfolio companies develop over the time. Some stocks will disappoint you and fail for sure. But if you have a good diversification of at least 50 shares or more, your average return will be great.

However, back to the current dividend growth stocks from last week. On my blog long-term-investments.blogspot.com, I publish on a regular basis lists of the latest dividend growers.

Last week, 29 companies announced a higher dividend. I’ve published all stocks with dividend growth from the recent week in the attached dividend list for you. You can also find a compilation of price and yield ratios there. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 17.03 percent.

Four of the results have a high yield of more than five percent and three yielding over 10%. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend 14 of the latest dividend growth stocks.

18 High Beta Services Dividend Paying Stocks With High Growth And Low Valuation

Services dividend stocks with high betas and big growth at low valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Today I would like to go forward with my monthly screen serial about high beta dividend stocks. Beta is a financial stock market ratio that shows how much the performance of a stock differs from the performance of the overall market. Beta ratios over one mean that the stock is stronger correlated to the market. Shares of the company move stronger up and down.

In bullish markets, you can make a better performance if you have high beta stocks in your portfolio. Today I would like to show you which of the services dividend stocks have the highest betas. Because of the huge amount of results, I needed to implement additional criteria. All stocks should have a low valuation measured by a forward P/E under 15 at earnings per share growth rates for the next five years of more than 10 percent yearly. Not enough, all stocks must have a market valuation over USD 10 billion.

Eighteen stocks fulfilled the above mentioned criteria. Sixteen have a current buy or better rating. The disadvantage is that the best results are low yielders. The highest dividend yield amounts to 2.81 percent. Low yields don’t mean low returns: The stocks generated a return between 8.94 percent and 76.75 percent since the beginning of the trading year.

20 Cheap Large Cap Dividend Challengers With Double-Digit Earnings Growth

Large capitalized Dividend Challengers with strong growth at a low valuation originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 

If you have read my blog for a longer time, you would have noticed that I often write about dividend growth stocks and dividends in general. One dividend growth category is the Dividend Challengers category. Those stocks have raised their dividend cash payments to shareholders over a period of more than 5 consecutive years but less than 10 years in a row.

Because of the rising market valuation, I wanted to know which of the Dividend Challengers are still fair or even cheap priced compared to its growth forecasts by analysts. 

I selected all stocks from the dividend growth category with a market cap over $10 billion and a low forward P/E below 15. In addition, the expected earnings per share growth should be above 5 percent yearly. Exactly 20 companies fulfilled these criteria.

14 of the results have a current buy or better rating and five stocks yielding over the three percent mark.
