Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. Dividend growth comes back. Last week, 81 stocks announced a higher dividend payment in the future. Six of them have now a double-digit dividend yield and 38 are low valuated with a forward P/E of less than 15.

It’s good to see that the number of dividend growers have risen within the recent week. It’s a sign that the economy is doing well and companies are more confident about the future.

In average, stocks from the list of the latest dividend growth stocks have increased their dividend payments by 20.73 percent. A value between 5 and 30 is good because your passive income grows faster than the inflation. A too high dividend growth ratio shows that there is something wrong. If not, they have paid very low dividends in the past and let the dividend jump. The most important thing you need to remember is that you receive dividends that are not paid from the substance of the corporate. It means that dividends should be significant lower than the earnings or the corporate. Special dividends are all right but they are only one-time items.
