Latest Dividend Growth: 19 Stocks With A Higher Dividend Payment

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth slows a little bit. Last week, only 19 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 in this post. In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 30.57 percent. Big companies are on the list: Royal Bank of Canada, Altria, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Seadrill are well known stocks with recent dividend hikes from last week.

I have no special preference when I buy stocks. I like it to get diversified but my focus is also on cheaply priced stocks. Only 11 stocks of the recent dividend growers still have a forward P/E of less than 11.

Four of the results have a high yield of more than five percent and one stock yields over 10%. Analysts and brokerage firms recommend 10 of stocks with recent dividend boosts.
