Lesser-Known Stocks With Dramatic Dividend Increases

Dividend growth is one of the most powerful but often-overlooked elements of a great portfolio. Sure, having stocks that go up is important, and having income from investments with decent dividend yields is also key … but if you can buy a stock that steadily grows its dividend over time, your returns snowball in a hurry.

There are stocks out there that could be on the cusp of big dividend growth over the next decade based on huge increases to payouts recently — it’s just that you don’t hear about them because they aren’t household names. Those picks are Amgen (AMGN), Corning (GLW), US Bancorp (USB), Coach (COH) and Cummins (CMI).
