Last week, 25 companies announced a raise of their dividend distributions to shareholders. Many REITs and closed-end funds are on the list of the dividend grower.
My favorite is General Mills ( GIS ). General Mills increased its dividends by 15.2%. That's a pretty good value in my view especially when you consider that General Mills is not a fast growing stock. I also put shares of GIS into my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio. With the latest hike, the current yield is back above the 3% mark.
Another stock with monthly paying dividends is Realty Income. It seems ambitious how fast they grow dividends. The latest hike was 0.2% on a monthly basis. The dividend payments of Realty Income are still higher than the earnings per share income - How long can this go on?
From 25 stocks with dividend growth from last week 15 have a dividend growth of more than 10%. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.58%. Linked is a full free list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.
Below are the results of the high-yields; 13 companies have a current buy or better rating.
