This week, 34 stocks increased their dividend payments of which 10 are High-Yields and 19 are currently recommended to buy. The average dividend growth amounts to 25.29 percent.

Popular stocks from the list are the railroad company CSX or the pipeline operator Kinder Morgan. A stock that I personally love is the Dividend KingProcter & Gamble who hiked its dividends by 7 percent. The results are very mixed but oil and gas pipeline companies still dominating the screen.
