17 Dividend Stocks With Most Recent Dividend Growth

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at long-term-investments.blogspot.com. 17 stocks announced to raise their dividends last week. It’s good to see that dividend growth still works despite the fact the total number of stocks is still very weak.

United Technologies is the biggest dividend riser from the last week. The company announced to boost its future dividends by 10 percent. Other big stocks are Gladstone Investment and Johnson Outdoors.

You can find a detailed list about all dividend growth stocks from last week in the attached list. There is also a small sheet with price ratios which makes it easier to compare the results.

Most of the long-term dividend growers are high quality stocks with expensive price ratios. Only five shares have a current forward P/E of less than 15.
