20 Stocks And Funds With Dividend Growth

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. I enjoy it really to see how dividends grow. One company with monthly payments that hiked its dividends with an impressive speed is the retail real estate trust Realty Income.

Last week, 19 companies and one fund announced a dividend hike. Only half of them have a current buy or better rating. The average dividend growth of the top dividend growers from last week amounts to 53.73 percent.
