I screened a table of companies with the fastest dividend growth compared to the previous dividend declaration. The dividend growth is often a good indicator for the financial health of a stock. Companies with a strong increase in dividends judge the future of their company rosy. They give money back to shareholders that they don’t need for their business.


Here are my 3 most promising stocks from the screening results:



1. Home Bancshares (HOMB, Financial) is acting within the money center banks industry. The company has a market capitalization of USD 635.8 million, generates revenues in an amount of USD 167.7 million and a net income of USD 19.3 million.
