Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originallypublished at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”.Last week was an interesting one because some of the big players announced a dividendhike, in-line with the expectations of the market. They are still continuing long-termdividend grower. Below the results are IBM, PepsiCo, Costco, American Express orRoyal Dutch.
In total, 60 shares and six ETFs announced a hike, in average a 30.05 percent increase. Eleven of them pay a high yields; 37 have a currentbuy or better recommendation.
The markets are at All-Time-Highs and nobody scaresthis. I hate it when stocks getting more expensive and yields go rapidly down becauseI must limit my stock purchases. In such an environment, a dividend growth investorcan’t build values when a slow growing stock pays a 1.5 percent yield - a value similar tothe bond market yields. Let’s hope that earnings and sales grow in the same amount.
Hereare my favorite dividend growth stocks:
