Last week was a weak one because only 14 companies announced they would raise their dividends. Three of them have a high yield and 10 a buy or better recommendation. In total they grew dividends by an average ratio of 16.57 percent. Growing dividends are important because they show which companies are confident to manage future growth without additional capital. For you as investor, you get a higher passive income.
The biggest names on the best dividend growers list are National Grid, Seadrill and American Eagle Outfitters. Here are my favorite dividend growth stocks: Seadrill (SDRL), National Grid (NGG) and Hill-Rom Holdings (HRC).
