16 Stocks Hiked Dividends In The Past Week

What a Week! Scotland vote no and belong further to the United Kingdom but more important to me were the dividend growth announcements of the week which I cover.

I love dividend growth stocks and made a significant amount of money with them as a long-term orientated investor. My strategy is somewhat between growth and value. I’m a fan of Warren Buffett but I have my own experience and strategy.

Within the past week, sixteen stocks hiked dividends. Big names like Microsoft and McDonalds are part of the list.

Below is a small overview of my favorites by biggest market capitalization. At the end of this article, you will also find a full list of all dividend grower and buyback announcements.

Dividend growth and share buybacks are two essential ways to give shareholders directly and indirect more money into their pocket.

It also show in most cases that the firm is doing well and like to share their success with the owner of the company.

12 Consumer Goods Stocks With Big Dividend Potential

Consumer stocks with low debt and dividend payout ratios to boost current yields originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. You know that I love stocks form the consumer goods sector because there are so many companies with a high quality and low cyclic business model. Around 3/4 of my investments have a deep relationship to the consumer sector.

Today I would like to finish my monthly screen about low debt stocks with small dividend payouts. I’ve tried to compile the top picks from the major capital sectors with high potential of a growing dividend.

Here you can find the links to the articles:

The consumer sector offers 12 stocks with a low dividend payout of less than 20 percent combined with a debt to equity ratio below 0.2. Nine of them have a current buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

I own none of the mentioned stocks. This could be reasonable to the fact that most of the results have a very small market capitalization. I do love big companies with strong cash flows and high market entry barriers but those have also high debt burdens.

24 Stocks With Fresh Dividend Hikes

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 24 companies increased its dividends within the recent week. Compared to 15 stocks from the previous week, it’s a small improvement but not the big numbers of 50 or more. The average dividend growth amounts to 32.07 percent.

Several recent dividend growth stocks have a market capitalization over $10 billion. Those are big names like McDonald’s, or Microsoft. The technology and software giant also announced to buy back $40 billion in own shares. That’s around 14 percent of the current market value.

I’ve attached a list for you of all dividend growers from the past week. You can also find there a list of the current valuations of the stocks. Half of the results still have a low forward P/E below 15 and eleven received a buy or better rating by brokerage firms.

Consumer Goods Stocks With Highest YTD Performance And Cheap Price Ratios

Consumer goods dividend stocks with highest year-to-date performance originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Consumer dividend stocks are my favorite investments when I think about how to make money on the stock market. I prefer those stocks because of the low cyclic they have. Most of them generate stable cash flows and pay good dividends as well as buy own shares back. Not to forget: They still have possibilities to grow in a developed market.

Today I would close my monthly screening serial of the best performing dividend stocks from several sectors with the consumer goods sector. These are the latest articles of the serial:


The 20 best performing dividend stocks from the consumer sector with a market capitalization over USD 200 million gained from 44.89 percent to 112.16 percent this year. The best performing non dividend paying stock is more an industrial stock than a consumer company. It’s the electric vehicle producer Tesla. The company’s stock price quadrupled since the start of the year. The top dividend payer is the multi-marketing level company Nu Skin Enterprises.

Despite the strong stock price increase, 16 of the top 20 performing sector dividend stocks still have a buy or better rating.
